"While additive manufacturing is on the leading edge of technology, and Burloak has developed a position of technical leadership in the 3D printing and aerospace markets during Samuel's ownership, we believe i3D is the right long-term strategic partner to support Burloak's growth objectives," stated Colin Osborne, President and CEO of Samuel.
