Formlabs, a supplier of professional SLA and SLS 3D printing systems in the world, has announced Dan Riccio, Apple’s former Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering, as a strategic advisor.
“Dan spent a career building some of the most beloved hardware products in the world, at an enormous scale, and he did it by obsessing over details most executives don’t care about,” said Maxim Lobovsky, co-founder and CEO of Formlabs. “As we scale Formlabs into the next generation of manufacturing hardware, learning from Dan is going to make our team stronger and our products better. We’re thrilled to have him as an advisor and as an investor in what we’re building.”
Riccio led Apple’s Product Design and Hardware Engineering Organizations for decades, overseeing the development of all Apple’s hardware products, including the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. He retired from Apple in 2024 after 26 years with the tech giant. In his new role, Riccio will advise Formlabs’ leadership team on product development, design rigor, and operational scaling as the company expands its footprint in industrial and professional 3D printing.
Alongside his advisory role, Riccio is making a personal investment in Formlabs, joining board member Rob Willett, former CEO of Cognex Corporation, who is increasing his own stake in the company.
Headquartered in Somerville, Mass., with offices across the globe, Formlabs is the largest professional 3D printing company founded since the 1980s, with annual revenues surpassing $250 million.
