About Lake3D - Innovative Material Jetting Company

Klaas Wiertzema is a psychologist with a strong entrepreneurial background in software development and complex sales processes.

"I was quicklyconvinced of the potential of material jetting in the 3D world. That is why I decided along with Petra and Joost Anne to embark on this inspiring adventure. It's great to see my beliefs come true. My ambition is to continue building a team based on trust rather than control mechanisms, as I am convinced that this will stimulate people's creativity to the maximum. I am focused on solid long-term relationships, both with my colleagues and with external parties, because I believe this is the best foundation for effective teamwork for now and the future."

Petra Doelman has an MBA and brings in many years of startup experience in different industries, focusing on strategy and fundraising.

"I have been involved in many startups and immediately recognized the disruptive potential of multi-material jetting in the dental market. My ambition is to bring new and sustainable products to market that improve the life of people. It is highly motivating to be part of a great team and jointly turn ideas into reality!"

Joost Anne Veerman has a PhD in Physics and is an expert in inkjet process development and printers for industrial applications.

"I believe that multi-material jetting can do miracles for many applications! I think that our ability to convert application demands into a customized process really makes us unique. I know that designing a reliable material jetting printer is quite challenging already, but it's even more difficult to actually design the right one. I am very proud of our wonderful team and my ambition is to build the best material jetting technology company in the world."

Rik Jacobs turned 3D printing in the dental world into a success.

"As the founder of Nextdent, I understood the benefits of 3D printing for the dental world and it has proven to be very successful. It is now time for the next revolution: multi-material jetting with full control over every voxel. I immediately recognized the unprecedented quality of Lake3D's technology. This is not only because of Lake3D's application-based approach, but also because of the team spirit in which compromises in quality and reliability are unacceptable."

Materials Coordinator & Quality Manager (PhD in Material Science)

"I have always been passionate about materials and innovation. 3D printing is the technological progress the world is waiting for and multi-material jetting is the perfect means to it. My aspiration is to follow unexplored and complex paths and make possible what is thought to be impossible!"

Material Development Specialist (PhD in Polymer Chemistry)

"The ability to design the final properties of a material through polymer architecture is something that excites me. At Lake3D, I can channel this passion into creating products that improve people's lives! Together with an amazing team, I am eager to contribute to groundbreaking material developments that will shape the future of dental applications through multi-material jetting."

Material Development Specialist (Master's in Chemical Engineering)

"Throughout my studies, I have always been fascinated by polymer materials and the endless possibilities they offer. I enjoy the challenge of designing innovative materials that combine various properties to create exciting new products. At Lake3D, I have the opportunity to take on this challenge, developing materials that can enhance people's lives through advanced dental solutions. I am confident that, within our material development team, we can create groundbreaking materials that the dental industry has never seen before!"

Senior Material Chemist (PhD in Polymer Chemistry)

"Even after 20 years of academic and industrial research, changing a few atoms in the chemical structure of one ingredient inside a material and observing how this translates into completely new properties in the "real world" still feels like magic to me. Developing the chemistry of multi-material jetting for dental applications is a fantastic playground for a material chemist, pushing the limits of this technology to uncharted territories together with a talented multidisciplinary team."

Material Development Specialist (PhD in Organic Chemistry and Materials Science)

"Since the beginning of my career, I have been driven by the desire to make meaningful contributions that improve lives and push the boundaries of technology. As part of Lake3D, I am excited to pursue this goal by revolutionizing 3D printing with multi-material jetting, working shoulder to shoulder with talented and visionary people. As a chemist, my role focuses on developing cutting-edge formulations for our innovative inks, and I am thrilled to contribute to work that will redefine what's possible in the field of additive manufacturing."

Material Characterization Specialist (Master's in Chemistry)

"Throughout my career, I have been fascinated by the interplay between material properties and their real-world applications. Now, in my role focusing on 3D printing for dental applications, I am excited to push the boundaries of material science again. I see this as an incredible opportunity to explore new possibilities in dental technology, applying my deep understanding of materials to help drive innovation in the field."

Product Manager (PhD in Physics)

"Imagine you can print any complex multi-material object at any given time. That is what multi-material jetting can do! I am part of the Lake3D R&D team and together we develop this ground-breaking technology and strive for high quality applications. I love creating structure in a complex technological environment and I enjoy presenting our innovative technology to the outside world. The dynamics, diversity, complex technological challenges, and most of all, the amazing team make working at Lake3D a real joy!"

Senior 3D Print Process Developer (PhD in Physics)

"For many years, I have known the benefits of 2D inkjet printing. Since I joined Lake3D, a whole new world opened up by adding a third dimension — which adds a lot of possibilities, but also a lot of complexity. Actually, I like the challenging puzzle that comes with it. I am excited to further develop the 3D inkjet printing technology together with the rest of the team, enabling applications that will benefit society."

Metrology Engineer (Background in Physics)

"My adventure at Lake3D started with a part-time student job, and it quickly felt like I joined a family. This is one of the reasons why I decided to stay. The combination of creativity and technology is what keeps my job interesting and I am excited to be part of the next step in multi-material jetting!"

Workflow Architect (Expert in Application and Workflow Software)

"My job at Lake3D is to create the software workflow for multi-material printing, fit to the application. That's a challenging but highly motivating task! My passion for innovation is completely fulfilled with Lake3D, as there are always interesting problems to be solved. But with the right team, nothing is impossible!"

Software Engineer (Background in Electrical Engineering)

"I always liked computers, mathematics, and physics. At Lake3D, these disciplines merge into one, creating a project that has the potential to move the market. Here, space is given to ideas and thoughts, which fosters a unique work place for people not looking for a job, but a hobby."

Software Engineer (Background in Electrical Engineering)

"I like to develop the design and architecture for software applications that control hardware. I, therefore, like to create software for production machines such as 3D printers. AtLake3D, I have the opportunity to link the hardware of a printer to software using high-end technology. This highly motivates me."
