Canon in 3D printing
Canon corporation has been endeavoring to enter the European 3D printing market since 2015, when it partnered with 3D Systems.

In future, Canon UK hopes to increase its presence in the 3D printing market. Dominic Fahy, Canon UK’s Head of Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Manufacturing, said, “Canon remains committed to pursuing all the growth opportunities we have within our Industrial & Production Solutions business.”
