In this episode of the 3DPOD, we speak to Tyler LeBrun. Currently serving as Additive Manufacturing Lead at Sandia National Laboratories, LeBrun previously worked at Aerojet Rocketdyne and Blue Origin. In addition, he lends his expertise to the manufacturing non-profit SME with its efforts in standards. What follows is a conversation about standards, space, engineering and additive manufacturing that we think you’ll find fascinating.

3DPOD Episode 163: 3D Printing Polymer Deep Dive with Max Heres, CEO of Loci Robotics Aug 07, 2023

Show notes

In this episode of the 3DPOD, we once again welcomed Max Heres, who elaborated further on his large format material extrusion company, Loci Robotics. We delved deeper into the intricacies occurring within the nozzle during large format or desktop 3D printing. We explored the factors that influence part quality and extrusion, with Max providing insightful explanations about these factors and their interrelationships. But more critically, we examined how these systems operate and how, as a user or machine designer, one can modify these variables and influence their effects.

3DPOD Episode 162: Micro 3D Printing with Adam Steege and Scott Schiller, Trio Labs Jul 31, 2023

Show notes

Trio Labs is quietly revolutionizing the field of small metal parts with its high-volume, accurate metal 3D printing technology. Since 2017, the company has been concentrating its efforts on medical devices. On this episode of the 3DPOD, we gain insights from Trio Labs’ founder, Adam Steege. We also have the opportunity to explore the medical 3D printing and development market with Scott Schiller, an HP veteran and the current CMO of Trio Labs. We dive into a conversation about the company’s market entry strategy, objectives, and future aspirations.

3DPOD Episode 161: Automated Wire Harness Manufacturing with Stephen Bennington, CEO of Q5D Jul 24, 2023

Show notes

Found in 3D printers, busses, airplanes, cars and a lot of electronics worldwide, wire harnesses are often made by hand, a country or two over from where the end system is ultimately assembled. This arrangement not only makes their implementation slow and inefficient, but also leads to product delays. British startup Q5D has developed a manufacturing cell that uses 3D printing, pick and place, and more to manufacture these complex structures. In this episode of 3DPOD, co-host Max Bogue and I learn just how much potential there is for Q5D’s technology. For instance, did you know that every wire harness in every Toyota Camry includes the wiring for an electric sunroof, even though only very few of the vehicles actually include that option. Clearly, wire harnesses can be made more flexibly and efficiently.

3DPOD Episode 160: Inkjet 3D Printing with Gareth Neal, Business Development Manager at Xaar Jul 17, 2023

Show notes

In this episode of the 3DPOD, we talk to Gareth Neal, Business Development Manager EMEA + Israel for Xaar. The British firm manufactures inkjet printheads and Gareth wants you to build your next 3D printer with their heads. He works with customers to produce coating, bioprinting and 3D printing devices with inkjet. Long known as a color 3D printing technology, inkjet is now also being hyped because of its use binder jet. In our discussion with Gareth, we learn that there are more possibilities still in high-viscosity inkjet, electronics, and beyond.

3DPOD Episode 159: Construction 3D Printing with Natalie Wadley, CEO of ChangeMaker 3D Jul 13, 2023

Show notes

Natalie Wadley started a 3D printing construction business with her husband. Rather than sell material or 3D printers ChangeMaker3D is an integrator that organizes, marshals technology, and builds parts. The couple has executed 3D printing projects for houses, water infrastructure, and train infrastructure projects. In this episode of the 3DPOD, we get a ground-floor view at the real possibilities and difficulties of 3D printing in construction.
