AddUp, Inc. has announced the establishment of the AddUp Medical Advisory Board – whose mission is to provide AddUp with a non-biased and holistic view of the medical industry as it relates to the development and utilization of metal 3D printing technologies as a means of serving the medical community. The company has appointed Sam Onukuri, Jan Triani, and Severine Valdant – all of whom are from different corners of the healthcare and medical device community – to the advisory board.
Sam Onukuri is an innovative engineering and global thought leader in disruptive technology evaluation – accelerating the commercialization of 3D printing – with specialization in healthcare applications and digital customer delivery models.

Jan Triani is the founder of Triani Consulting and was recently the Director of Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs, Patient-Specific for Paragon 28.
Severine Valdant is passionate about technology and the individuals who make technological advances a reality.

Severine Valdant is the Chief Commercial Officer for QuesTek Innovations LLC and was recently the President at Oxford Performance Materials, Inc.
“We are honored to welcome three industry veterans to our newly formed Medical Advisory Board.
