From Prototyping to Successful Business Models with Additive Manufacturing - Güngör Kara Feb 16, 2021

Show notes

Additive Manufacturing has been predominantly closed away in Research and Development departments for some time. But, as timely, justified additive manufacturing solutions emerge it is time for many companies to move from prototype to production. The chain of processes leaders implement now will affect the future use of industrial 3D printing within an organization.

In this episode, Chief Digital Officer of the medical and mobility powerhouse, Ottobock, Güngör Kara shares key insights about team building, implementing additive manufacturing, how organizations can create radical innovations, and the greatest challenges leaders face when moving additive manufacturing from prototype to production phase.

Key Takeaways:

[1:05] Three key learnings of additive manufacturing implementation.

[4:02] Creating an additive manufacturing team must also include the problem and solution teams.

[6:58] The initial rapid prototyping phase requires C-level attention and support.

[9:13] The greatest challenges of moving additive manufacturing out of prototyping and into production.

[12:37] Leaders must push the limits of their team to create radical innovation.

[18:05] The two dimensions of scaling from one product to multiple products.

Unlocking Higher Performance 3D Printing Applications with Brad Rothenberg Jan 15, 2021

Show notes

Additive Manufacturing has re-written many rules of product and part design. It has helped to improve part performance, cost of parts, and sustainability, all via design innovation. Engineers have the ability to creatively re-invent manufacturing from the ground up. Given this new freedom in the design process, what is the best way for an organization to capitalize and exploit the possibilities?

In this episode, Founder and CEO of the engineering software company, nTopology, Brad Rothenberg, shares the key elements to unlock the full potential of 3D printing. He discusses the ability of software to re-shape the future of product design, the innovative tools that allow designers to replace grunt work with creativity, and what not to do when designing products for additive manufacturing.

The Additive Snack Podcast is brought to you by EOS.

Key Takeaways:

[1:01] How nTopology’s engineering software fills the void in additive manufacturing design tools left by traditional manufacturing systems.

[5:58] The creative role of the human engineer in the design process of additive manufacturing.

[11:24] What not to do when creating products using additive manufacturing.

[20:03] Brad Rothenberg shares a fascinating example of how new design tools and human creativity developed an application for the airforce that would not have been possible in the past.

[24:23] Tips for engineers to accelerate design and engineering efforts.

[27:22] Software allows engineers to build a re-usable knowledge base of design capabilities.

[29:43] Brad shares his thoughts on where additive manufacturing will be in 5 years and how engineers can leverage their expertise.

Bradley Rothenberg is the founder and CEO of nTopology, an advanced software company based in New York City that focuses on enabling engineers to design, manufacture and ship high-performance products in the least amount of time. nTopology’s breakthrough computational-modeling technology unifies geometry and simulation results into finely tuned manufacturing models, supporting engineers as they collaborate to develop lightweight, optimized parts with functional requirements built right in. Bradley studied architecture at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, and has been developing computational design tools for advanced manufacturing for the last 10-plus years.

How to Start Your Additive Manufacturing Journey with Wilderich Heising Dec 15, 2020

Show notes

The factory of the future will be a blend of traditional manufacturing and additive manufacturing. In fact, additive manufacturing is on track to take one percentage point of the $250-350 billion dollar manufacturing market by complementing existing technologies with additional capabilities.

In this podcast, we examine the big picture of additive manufacturing, the value it can bring to your organization, the best ways to start your additive manufacturing journey, and how additive manufacturing can improve your competitive advantage. This conversation is a ‘state of the union’ for additive manufacturing. We examine where the industry is right now, how additive manufacturing can immediately meet industry needs, and the future integration of additive manufacturing into the traditional manufacturing market.
