“Combined with EVOK3D’s deep specialisation in 3D printing solutions, the new partnership will accelerate the ongoing growth in EVOK3D’s sales and support capability whilst leveraging Currie Group’s management experience and Australian and New Zealand footprint.”

“3D printing has moved beyond just prototyping and is now a viable direct manufacturing technology,” said Joe Carmody, EVOK3D managing director. “To meet the growing demand for these technologies, we needed to scale the business and Currie Group is ideally positioned, having pioneered digital disruption of the 2D print industry over the last 20 years. For our clients across education, design, industry and healthcare it means they can continue to invest with confidence.”
