Rock Hill, S.C.-based 3D Systems Corp. has named Kevin McAlea executive vice-president and chief operating officer of its healthcare business.
In his new role, McAlea will develop and execute the company’s healthcare growth strategy, integrating recent acquisitions into a cohesive and synergistic suite of products and services, and scaling the company’s rapidly developing healthcare category.
“With more than two decades of 3D global business and technology experience, Kevin is uniquely qualified to lead our healthcare business,” said Avi Reichental, president/CEO.
Since joining the company in 2001, McAlea has held several senior leadership roles at 3D Systems. Most recently, he served as chief impact officer and managed the acquisition, integration and commercialization of 3D Systems’ direct metals printer line, following the company’s acquisition of Phenix Systems and Layerwise. Before that, McAlea led the development and sales of the firm’s production printers portfolio.
“Kevin takes the reins of our healthcare operations at an opportune moment,” said Reichental. “I have full confidence that he will be able to leverage our recent acquisitions of Medical Modeling, Simbionix and Layerwise, as well as our medical and dental services, to extend our position and first mover advantage in this open-ended vertical.”
3D Systems provides design-to-manufacturing solutions including 3-D printers, print materials and cloud-sourced custom parts. The company’s healthcare solutions include end-to-end simulation, training and integrated 3-D planning and printing for personalized surgery and patient-specific medical and dental devices.
