Allistair Adams, Quality Engineer at Mack Molding
"I enjoy being a part of the Tulip Community. It’s fun experimenting and solving problems with Tulip, and sharing the knowledge I’ve gained to help others has been a rewarding experience. Thanks to the Community and Office Hours platforms anyone can learn to apply the tools they develop to troubleshoot and improve their manufacturing systems. Thank you for the opportunity to be part of the conversation, and thank you for the Golden Shovel Award!"

Alan Madorin, Manufacturing Engineer at Terex
“I’m extremely grateful to receive the Golden Shovel award from Tulip. It has been a challenging, yet rewarding journey building apps to support Terex’s digital transformation initiatives over the last year… There are so many digital opportunities to improve the business. I look forward to the journey ahead of us and I am excited to see what is possible with Tulip."

Pete Hartnett, (Previously) Manufacturing Engineer at Protolabs
"Tulip has enabled Protolabs to go from an idea, to a minimum viable Product, to a stable, version controlled, and released software in days as opposed to months. The code-free interface means the people who best know what the floor needs are able to make all the tools we need to run our floor. Receiving this Groundbreaker Award is a huge honor for all of us working with Tulip at Protolabs."
