We believe in

  • Design

    Additive Manufacturing is driving innovation in multiple technological sectors. Through intelligent and holistic design, we transform the latest developments in materials and processes into cutting-edge solutions.

  • Collaboration

    When solving complex design problems, collaboration with experts from multiple disciplines is key to our success. This exchange of knowledge breaks down inter-disciplinary barriers and turns ideas into reality.

  • Radical Thinking

    Behind the transformative power of Additive Manufacturing lies the ability to think differently. We encourage our customers to challenge existing design and manufacturing conventions.

Team

  • Dr Manolis Papastavrou

    PhD, MEng(Hons), MSc(Hons)

    Computational Design Lead, Co-founder and Director.

    Manolis's role focuses on the development of advanced computational design workflows that harness geometric complexity and automate the design of components produced through additive manufacturing.

    With a background in Chemical Engineering and Product Design, he started his career in Additive Manufacturing (AM) with a PhD on 3D printed synthetic bone substitutes. He has since worked as a Research Engineer developing and optimising AM processes with an emphasis on powder bed fusion and jetting. Throughout this journey, design has always been at the core of his engineering practice; he has been involved in projects that range from conceptual footwear and medical devices to scientific instrumentation. Combining computational design with 3D printing fuels his interest for bio-inspired design.

  • Dr Laurence Coles

    PhD, CEng, MEng (Hons)

    Mechanical Design Lead, Co-founder and Director.

    Laurence’s role focuses on breaking the mould of conventional engineering design through his creative approach to problem-solving and a desire to learn from and collaborate with people from outside of his field of expertise. His foundations in classical engineering and simulation provide insights into the performance of Metamorphic’s pioneering designs.

    With a background in Mechanical Engineering and a PhD in ballistics, blast, and mechanics of materials. He started his career in Additive Manufacturing as a research engineer, leading design projects and supporting clients with their exploration of AM across various high-tech industries, including quantum technologies, medical devices, healthcare, and oil and gas.
