3DEO, a Los Angeles-based leader in design, engineering, and metal additive manufacturing (AM) solutions, is proud to announce the appointment of Scott Dennis as the company’s new chief executive officer (CEO), succeeding Matt Petros, the company’s co-founder and former CEO. This leadership transition marks an exciting new chapter for 3DEO as the company continues its trajectory of rapid growth and innovation in the additive manufacturing industry.

Petros, who will remain a significant shareholder in 3DEO, expressed his confidence in Dennis as his successor: “3DEO has always been about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in manufacturing. Under Scott’s leadership, I believe the company is well-positioned to accelerate its innovation trajectory and continue setting new industry standards. Scott’s experience in engineering and product realization, coupled with his proven ability to scale operations, makes him the perfect choice to lead 3DEO into the future.”

Dennis brings a wealth of experience to 3DEO, having previously co-founded and served as CEO of D&K Engineering, a leading product realization services company that successfully developed and manufactured a wide variety of products across the printing, industrial, and life science sectors. With a strong background in mechanical and biomedical engineering, as well as a successful track record in product realization, Dennis has consistently demonstrated his ability to reduce the risks associated with bringing breakthrough products to market.

Our goal is to unlock significant performance improvements not only in individual components but also in full assemblies and subsystems by leveraging additive-enabled technologies such as 3DEO’s Intelligent Layering® process. This approach, driven by 3DEO's deep expertise in Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM), allows us to revolutionize product development and create breakthrough value for our customers.”

“Scott brings a unique combination of strategic vision, technical expertise, and operational excellence to 3DEO,” Petros added. “His leadership will ensure that we continue to provide our customers with cutting-edge additive solutions that meet the highest standards of quality and reliability.”
