New 3D Printing Factory in Bremen for Materialise

On Tuesday, Materialise founder and CEP Fried Vancraen announced that the company is opening a new 3D printing factory in Bremen.
According to 3D Printing Industry:

A new site in Bremen is set to become the Belgian 3D printing service’s Titanium Additive Manufacturing Center for Industrial Customers.  The Bremen location is also the heart of Materialise’s Metal Competence Center for software and, starting in late October, this new production line will begin to serve industrial customers looking to manufacture parts in titanium, a material which is becoming more and more common for applications in industries such as aerospace, manufacturing, automotive, and more.
During the press conference at Euromold in Dusseldorf, Vancraen stated that this new production line would mark Materialise’s next step in becoming the most complete factory for 3D printing. Vancraen also went so far as to assert that he personally believes that titanium additively manufactured products are going to be representing as much as 40% or more of all titanium products, in certain areas such as medical prosthetics, in the medium-term future.
Over the years, Materialise has built extensive expertise in metal printing, most notably by developing cutting-edge metal AM software and releasing Build Processors with leading metal OEMs (as in the recent partnership with Arcam Metals). In regards to hardware, Materialise recently announced the completion of an in-house metal printing project that saw a medical production line being installed at their headquarters.
