His expertise in project delivery from conceptual design to volume production, and ability to use continuous improvement techniques to embed technologies, fit perfectly with the needs of the UK\u2019s innovative SMEs.<\/p>\n<p>As an Education Ambassador Steve is keen to excite, encourage, and support the next generation of British engineers &#8211; delivering educational 3D printing content to primary, secondary and further education students through the use of Ultimaker 3D printers. His ability to inspire the next generation was endorsed when he was invited by the BBC to showcase 3D printing at events for their \u201cMake It Digital\u201d campaign, as well as 3D printing for the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-8","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.amfori.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.amfori.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.amfori.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.amfori.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.amfori.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.amfori.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28,"href":"http:\/\/www.amfori.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8\/revisions\/28"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.amfori.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
