New Awards and Fantastic Winners: 2019 Governor’s Celebration of Innovation does not Disappoint

Way back in 2011, PADT participated in our first Governor’s Celebration of Innovation, or GCOI. We actually won the award for being a Pioneer that year, and we also started making custom awards with our 3D Printing systems. And every year we get to see friends, customers, and partners take a PADT original home. 2019 was no different.

This year FreeFall Aerospace was won the Innovation Award for startups. They are part of the ANSYS Startup program and someone we really enjoy working with. In addition, Qwick won the Judges award. They are a local software startup that we have interacted with through our mentoring and angel investing activities.

This year’s awards came out nice, combining PolyJet and Stereolithography to make a kinetic sculpture:

We were pleased to watch these being handed out to eight winners. The Tucson winners, half of those recognized, were happy to show their’s off:
