Berlin, Germany, October 26, 2021 - 3YOURMIND welcomes Bas de Jong as its Chief Commercial Officer. After six years at Ultimaker, a major print manufacturer, he brings his expertise and industry knowledge to the leading additive manufacturing software company.
In his time at Ultimaker, Bas helped grow the start-up to become one of the world’s most successful desktop 3D printing companies. He built the business development and application engineering team to help Fortune 1000 companies kick-start and scale their 3d printing activities.
