这增材制造用户组(AMUG) has presented the 2020 DINO Awards (Distinguished Innovator Operator) to ten select individuals. The prestigious award is intended to mark and celebrate expertise and service in the field of additive manufacturing (and is, quite fittingly, in the shape of a brachiosaurus).
Instead of the usual on-stage ceremony at the annual AMUG Conference, the committee opted for a virtual event in light of a certain global pandemic. Still, the magic and delight of receiving the award was carried over as the DINOs learned of the honor when a surprise delivery showed up at their homes.
阿莫格总裁卡尔·德克（Carl Dekker）表示：“这些是前所未有的时期，因此我们采取了前所未有的步骤来进行虚拟奖励。我们竭尽所能保留悬念和惊喜，使这在新恐龙的增材生产中成为特殊的时刻。”
迪诺奖是什么？
A DINO Award is a recognition of an individual’s contribution to the additive manufacturing industry. It is exclusively for those that have devoted time and energy to providing accessible skills and knowledge to others in the industry – all with the intent of advancing additive manufacturing as a whole.
迪诺选拔委员会主席兼主席加里·拉比诺维茨（Gary Rabinovitz）解释说：“该奖项的核心是对增材制造业的热情和奉献精神，再加上渴望分享和与他人共享的愿望。新的恐龙真正体现了迪诺奖的立场。”
AMUG has been running the awards for 32 years, yet only 168 individuals have received them to date as a maximum of only 10 may be given out in any one year.
