Associates Strengthens Relationship
with Industry Veteran Tim Caffrey
FORT
COLLINS, COLORADO, USA, October 12, 2010—Wohlers
Associates, Inc. is pleased to announce a strengthened relationship
with Mr. Tim Caffrey, an additive manufacturing industry veteran.
Caffrey has worked closely with Wohlers Associates on many projects
over a period of more than 10 years. An example is the company’s annual
industry study (the current edition is Wohlers Report 2010) that the company has published for
15 years. His role will expand with this publication, as well as with
other projects, including a new one involving the development of an
additive manufacturing technology roadmap for Australia.
Caffrey is a mechanical engineer and was employed by The Boeing Company
and Pratt & Whitney in the 1980s and 1990s. At Boeing, he gained
valuable experience in directing the operation of in-house additive
manufacturing services. He also wrote and performed pre-flight
operational tests for aircraft engines and wrote repair and maintenance
processes for aircraft engine components. In the late 1990s, Caffrey
served as plant manager of the largest (at the time) additive
manufacturing service provider in the world. He brings to Wohlers
Associates a precious combination of 15 years of writing experience and
an industry-specific technical background.
“Tim has worked tirelessly with me in the background for a long time,”
said Terry Wohlers, principal consultant and president of Wohlers
Associates. “I give him a lot of credit for his outstanding work on the
past several editions of our industry report, as well as CAD textbooks
that he and I have worked on together for McGraw-Hill. With his new
phase of involvement, Tim will contribute to an expanding range of
projects at our company. I am very lucky to be able to work with an
individual of his caliber and integrity.”
“I’m elated at this opportunity to work more closely with Terry,”
Caffrey said. “We’ve worked together for many years, and that
relationship has allowed me to continue my involvement in the additive
manufacturing industry. I look forward to contributing more to Wohlers
Associates and supporting its prominent role within this technology
sector.”
Wohlers Associates is an independent consulting firm that provides
technical, marketing, and strategic advice on the new developments and
trends in rapid product development and additive manufacturing. For
