Meet The Team At Addaptiv

William Nolan BSc 

Founder & CEO

Addaptiv Ltd. Founder, William Nolan, is a Manufacturing and Operations Engineer with 15 years of experience across the Medical Device, Automotive & Manufacturing Industries. Having graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Manufacturing and Operations Engineering from University of Limerick, he moved into the Medical Device Industry. Over a number of years he worked in multiple roles in Ireland, Germany and the U.S.A. He held numerous positions including; Continuous Improvement, Advanced Operations, Quality Assurance, Project Management and Manufacturing Operations. 


In the years that followed he was quickly promoted due to his focus on Additive Manufacturing, more commonly known as '3D Printing'. 


William was involved in developing the technology in many areas including; Hardware & Software Development for SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) 3D Printing Technology, Design for Additive Manufacturing (DFAM), Materials & Process Development and Quality & Validation for high volume production. He was also a leader in developing new training methods, technical training of staff and rolling out new Additive Manufacturing processes across International sites. This has led William to obtain a vast amount of knowledge and experience in many areas of Additive Manufacturing.


Following on from this experience William realised the potential for applying this technology under his own business venture and subsequently founded Addaptiv Ltd. in 2020. 


His goal is to drive the adoption of Additive Manufacturing, in multiple Industries, ranging from small scale startups to larger enterprises. Addaptiv Ltd. will deliver projects to their customers and enable them to realise the benefits of this disruptive technology.
