3DPOD Episode 24: Fried Vancraen, Materialise CEO Apr 14, 2020

Show notes

Fried Vancraen is a hero of mine and my old boss. So Max and I were able to have a very laid back but altogether important conversation with him about COVID, what it’s like to have a company right now, what Materialise is doing vis a vis COVID and the future. We really enjoyed speaking about how a large company in our industry is rising to the challenging COVID world. I think this is a great podcast on responsibility, ethical entrepreneurship, agility and solving real challenges through 3D printing. We really hope you enjoy this episode.

3DPOD Episode 23: COVID-19 and 3D Printing; What can be printed? What should be printed? Mar 31, 2020

Show notes

This was a highly personal podcast for all of us. Max had gone from New York to Boston, I’m stuck in South America but Davide was in the most precarious position in one of the worst-hit areas in Milan, Italy. What we spoke about this time is COVID-19. We tried to ignore this disease here at 3DPrint.com but due to the industry’s valiant efforts in trying to help we needed to do an about-face and talk about it. What followed was a personal discussion where we were at times very enthusiastic about what 3D printing is doing now. At other times we were sanguine or very human and I think it all added up to an excellent episode.

Previously we talked with EOS CEO Marie Langer, Ty Pollak about Open Additive, the ethics of 3D printing & handheld scanning.

3DPOD Episode 22: Marie Langer the CEO of EOS Mar 10, 2020

Show notes

Both Max and I were honored to have Marie Langer as our guest in this episode of the 3DPod. Marie is the CEO of EOS the leading firm in sintering of both polymers and metals. For the past decades, EOS has lead the way in commercializing sintering (L-PBF) for manufacturing and prototyping. Now the firm is at the bleeding edge of manufacturing with 3D printing but also finds itself facing competition from the likes of GE and HP. What makes EOS very special as a firm is that they’re a privately held company. Marie’s father started it thirty years ago and now it’s her turn to helm the family business. We talk to Marie about what this is like, what her outlook and strategy are and what she finds important. We also look at industrialization for 3D printing and what this means, culture, sustainability and the future of 3D printing. We really enjoyed doing this episode and hope that you enjoy listening to it as much.

3DPOD Episode 21: 3D Printing at Scale with Xometry’s Greg Paulsen Mar 02, 2020

Show notes

Today Max and I speak with Xometry’s Greg Paulsen again. This time we talk about scale in 3D printing. With manufacturing and real production seen as the new 3D printing frontier, companies are gearing up for products, services and the ever-popular “end to end solutions.” But, can we really do scale in 3D printing? And also should we want to do millions of low-cost parts? Or should we focus on scale but in limited verticals and applications? Can you do low cost and high-value parts at the same time? Or will we see specialized low cost and high regulatory regime players emerge? We don’t have all the answers but in a lively discussion, we talk about how far away we are from scale and what is needed. We hope you enjoy this episode and please do reach out to me should you wish to suggest a topic or guest.

3DPOD Episode 20: Ty Pollak, Open Additive Feb 17, 2020

Show notes

Today Max and I have a special guest, Ty Pollak of Open Additive. We’re really proud of this episode and we enjoyed the discussion and all that we learned from Ty. Open Additive is trying to develop an open powder bed fusion technology stack. Meant specifically for universities, developers of materials and experimental use, Open Additive gives researchers more of an extensible and research-ready package that can even be customized to certain applications. With easier access to parts and more settings to play with users can change more parameters and do things such as qualify new exotic materials, strategies, and processes. Open Additive is also a startup but not a traditional one, instead, the firm aims for steady long term growth. We hope you really will enjoy and learn from this episode!

3DPOD Episode 19: Formnext Review & Ethics in 3D Printing Dec 10, 2019

Show notes

And we have another new podcast for you! This time Max and I discuss Formnext and I (hopefully) regale you with news from the front. We discuss how immense formnext was and what I thought that the most exciting things were that I saw. Then we make an abrupt pivot to discuss the ethics of 3D printing covering the right to access, digital divide, biohacking, medical hacking, people using 3D printing to enhance themselves for sports, radical plastic surgery, everyone wanting to be the same and a bugbear of mine, the prospect of Mark Zuckerberg living forever. We hope you enjoy this we really had fun with this one and can’t wait to give you more.

3DPOD Episode 18: Handheld 3D scanning with Anna Zevelyov Nov 22, 2019

Show notes

Today Max and I return to the world of 3D scanning. We have a guest, Anna Zevelyov who is a co-founder and CEO of Thor3D. Thor3D’s is a 3D scanning company that makes handheld 3D scanners for a range of applications. Anna goes into why 3D printing kiosks in stores have failed, why different scanning technologies work for different applications and talks about why or why not your phone will have a 3D scanner on it. She also discusses the 3D scanning market and why we don’t yet have a Shapeways for 3D scanning. Anna also turns the tables on us and starts asking us questions in what was for us a very fun and frank discussion. We hope that you will enjoy it also.

3DPOD Episode 17: People We Admire in 3D Printing Nov 13, 2019

Show notes

Today we had an episode that was a free-ranging discussion between Max and myself on the people we admire in 3D printing. First off, we have to admit to being rather embarrassed that we forgot so many people. We forgot to mention E-NABLE for example and all the great folks working on that for example. So we’re both a bit sorry for being scatterbrained but hope that we do give a good overview of at least some of the people we admire in 3D printing. Please let us know what you think.

3DPOD Episode 14: Consumer and Affordable 3D Printers Sep 25, 2019

Show notes

This 3DPod Episode is filled with opinion. Here we look at our favorite affordable desktop 3D printers. We evaluate what we want to see in a printer and how far these machines have come. There is a new emerging category of printers priced from around $100 to $800 that are increasingly being sold in their thousands. With these machines, there is definitely some “buyer beware” to consider. But, even though some have caught flames these low-cost machines are opening up 3D printing to tens of thousands of new users. Do you agree with our choices of which printers we like? What other ones did we forget? Many of the 3D printers discussed here can be found in the 2019 3D printing buying guide.
