TEMPE, Ariz. - May 22, 2018 - PRLog -- Phoenix Analysis and Design Technologies (PADT) today announced that its Co-founder and Principal, Rey Chu, has been selected as a recipient of the Additive Manufacturing User Group's (AMUG) DINO (Distinguished INnovator Operator) award for additive manufacturing expertise and service. The 2018 DINO's were presented at AMUG's 30th annual user group conference in St. Louis, Missouri. Chu joins a select group of only 149 DINO recipients selected in AMUG's 30-year history.

"To be a DINO, one must advance and give back to the industry, as well as support AMUG and its members," said Paul Bates, president, AMUG. "Rey's contribution to additive manufacturing innovation throughout his career made his selection a simple choice for our awards committee."

Chu was an early adopter of additive manufacturing, bringing stereolithography to Allied Signal Engines in 1988.  With thirty years in the industry, he is a recognized leader who has been a key contributor in every step of 3D Printing's evolution. As Chu enters his fourth decade in additive manufacturing, he spends his time traveling the world evaluating new technologies and bringing innovative 3D printed parts to his customers and user communities.

"I have dedicated my professional career to researching and improving the impact that additive manufacturing has on design, engineering, and manufacturing across all industries," said Chu. "AMUG's recognition of my contributions to this technology is very humbling, and I am very proud to be a part of their community."

As one of the three founders of PADT in 1994, Chu brought his expertise to the company and built one of the most well-respected 3D Printing service providers in the industry. Chu and his manufacturing team at PADT have worked hand-in-hand with new technology providers, serving as beta testers and early adopters of FDM, SLS, PolyJet, and now DLS technology.  He also led the effort to bring PADT's SCA (Support Cleaning Apparatus) devices to market; managing design and production for these effective and dependable accessories that effortlessly dissolve away all of the support material from 3D Printed parts.
