Elementum 3D’s founder and president, Dr. Jacob Nuechterlein, was recently named the recipient of a 2024 Impact Award by Vistage, the world’s largest CEO coaching and peer advisory organization for small and midsize businesses. The Impact Award recognizes the remarkable development and achievement of trailblazing leaders. From business growth to leadership development, dedicated leaders reach significant heights within their first years as Vistage members, with lasting impact on their company, peers and community.
As a supplier and developer of leading-edge additive manufacturing (AM) materials since 2014, Jacob has vigilantly preserved the company’s mission of expanding access to previously impossible AM materials. “I have always been attracted to finding ways to directly impact lives, it’s the driving force behind the success of a company that is revolutionizing the future of manufacturing through additive manufacturing (3D printing). My involvement with Vistage has further widened Elementum 3D’s capabilities. The knowledge and support I have gained every month has been invaluable,” said Jacob Nuechterlein
With Jacob’s leadership, the company introduced the first AM metal material to be qualified by NASA/JPL, which are printing components for the Europa mission. Elementum 3D also supplies aluminum alloys to Formula 1 used in engine components that win races and for advanced federal and commercial rocketry technology. Furthermore, their technology is used in antennas for GPS satellites that help people navigate around the world.
“It is a tremendous honor for me to work with Jacob as his Executive Coach and Vistage Chair. Through his leadership, Jacob and his amazing Elementum3D team have changed the landscape of metal 3D printing. In a short time, they’ve literally changed the speed of technology in areas ranging from battlefields to rocket boosters to formula race cars, and many things in between. Yet more important is the impact he’s made on his family, employees, and his community. Congratulations on this outstanding and well-deserved award, Jacob!”
