New Valence Robotics® (NVBOTS) has a patented, unique ARM system that allows for a high throughput 3D printing operation. AJ Perez talks about NVBOTS: As each 3D printed object is complete, an automated system moves the finished part off the printing table, allowing for the next part to start printing. This simple, but revolutionary throughput method frees up 3D printing to become a high-volume operation instead of a slow, one-at-a-time, manual labor effort. NVBOTS' first product was shipped in 2015. The NVPro – a 3D plastics printing solution – is Built to Share. It offers the industry's only automated part removal, and it is also paired with NVCloud software allowing the users to print parts anytime, from any cloud-connected device. This unique mixture of abilities makes the NVPro exclusively suited for uninterrupted 24-7 operation in multi-user environments. Listen. Review. Subscribe. Future Technology is Here!
ABRA is poised to be the world's first, currency-agnostic, digital, global wallet that lives on your smartphone. ABRA allows you to send money to any smartphone instantly, securely and privately – without needing a bank account – without paying Western Union or other middlemen exorbitant fees – without having to go to your bank, withdraw cash, then go to a money sender such as Western Union, without requiring the recipient to travel to pick up the money, and without 99% of the hassle. Note: ABRA a is currently available in US and Philippines only., but is poised to roll out globally in the future. The Abra smartphone app is a non-custodial Bitcoin wallet that lets you see the value of your funds in the currency of your choice (usually your home currency). You can choose how you want to deposit & the recipient can choose how they would like to withdraw, send, or spend the money. Abra uses peer to peer technology which means your money goes straight from you to your recipient, eliminating the middleman completely. Sending and receiving money costs very little. If you use your bank account, it's free to add & withdraw funds. If you want to become a digital teller for ABRA, you can earn fees from transactions you help process. If you are a small business, you'll want to start accepting ABRA as an additional form of payment as well.
Brad Templeton, Chairman Emeritus of the EFF (electronic frontier foundation), (and other accolades and activities too numerous to mention) talks about where Autonomous Cars can really take us. He explains how engineers can empower the electric car, save the planet as well as millions of lives using near-term Artificial Intelligence to make cars and trucks deliver, park, recharge and drive themselves. The technology behind this is fascinating, but even more interesting are other questions that surround the robot car future. Brad talks in detail about what self driving cars can and cannot do, how we deal with the social and legal barriers and how autonomous cars will change energy, pollution, cities, transit, war, work, real estate and manufacturing — and yes, cars themselves. Brad also share some striking possibilities like saving 50 billion hours of people's time with self-driving cars in US alone and a serious reduction in the urban land devoted to the 600 million parking spaces. With Autonomous Cars, there's a lot we can achieve but there are a lot of hidden threats associated to this technology. 3D printing will fundamentally alter the way people manufacture, consume, and produce everything.
John Hornick has been a partner at the Finnegan Intellectual Property law firm, based in Washington, DC, for over twenty years. John founded Finnegan's 3D Printing Working Group which focuses on intellectual property, copyright and other legal issues as they relate to 3D printing. John is the author of the award-winning book, 3D Printing Will Rock the World. (available on Amazon and Kindle) John's a great speaker, easy to understand, and this interview will expand your mind when it comes to 3D printing issues few people talk about, such as the impact it will have on copyright, intellectual property, patent law, and more. John's concept of 3D printing "away from control" is central to understanding the future implications of 3D printing.
Z/Yen is a commercial think tank that spots, solves and works to: enhance reward, control risk and reduce volatility in business. We spoke to Michael Mainelli, Chairman of Z/Yen and an Emeritus Gresham Professor of Commerce at Gresham College in London, and founder of the Long Finance initiative. Michael talked about new disruptive technologies such as Bitcoin and Blockchain and how they are impacting the digital currency industry.

Using metal to print 3D objects has been somewhat out of reach – until now. Fabrisonic uses an advanced manufacturing technology called to 3D print an extensive variety of metals through their patented ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM) process. Fabrisonic has a suite of in-house SonicLayer 3D printing machines to help customers with the Serialized Part Production, Materials R&D, Short-Run Part Production and Custom 3D Printing. Fabrisonic can provide true part production from tens to thousands of parts per month down to print short-run metal parts to bridge between concept and full scale production.
Lucy Beard, founder of Feetz.com, talks 3D printed shoes, for both men and women. This is a fun, fascinating, and applicable interview (if you possess a pair of feet, that is) to everyone on planet Earth. Lucy says, at Feetz, you aren't size X, you are size YOU… …and Feetz' 3D printed sneakers / shoes are likely to fit you better and more closely and comfortably than any shoe you've ever worn previously in your life. Feetz' app requires 3 quick pictures of your feet to create a custom, 3D model that, when sent to Feetz, creates a pair of custom 3D-printed shoes you're going to love. Lucy discusses strange-shaped toes, wide feet, people with one foot bigger than the other, and why 20% of the world's population suffers from shoes that don't fit them nearly as well as they could. You are going to love this interview, as I did. Listen, review, and share this podcast.
Ethereum's blockchain isn't the only game in town when it comes to a programmable, Turing-Complete layer that allows smart contracts to be programmed. RSK.co is in the process of releasing it's latest update, named Turmeric, which allows developers to create smart contracts using bitcoin's blockchain. Watch out Ethereum – you have competition, but as Gabriel from RSK notes, everyone in the blockchain industry is striving for a decentralized, less corrupt, more inclusive world that may allow billions of unbanked people to participate in the world economy and rise out of poverty. This is an uplifting, exciting, and future-looking conversation that transcends blockchain and smart contracts and will get you excited about what's to come.

I've never heard of creating 3D Printed designs using a virtual reality interface – have you? Roland Manyai, an innovative thinker in the virtual reality and 3D printing space has created exactly that, and you're going to be happily surprised at what's coming in the near future when it comes to both design of 3D printed objects and the results. Traditionally using VR, creating 3D objects and 3D printing required knowledge of and the ability to use a variety of "hi-tech" of software. Leopoly has made creating and printing 3d objects as easy as taking a photograph. At leoply.com/start-from-scratch you can choose forms, shapes, or objects, use their virtual tools (brushes, pens, etc.) to create/customize anything, save it, order it or 3D print it yourself! makers.leopoly.com is their first website created to introduce 3D design and printing to schools. More recently Leopoly has also teamed up with zSpace to bring VR and 3D modeling into the classroom. 3D scanning and printing is currently used for industry and health care prototypes. Leopoly offers their expertise in 3D technology and create customized software unique to any business. They are the industry leaders in digital product customization and 3D design software solutions on multiple platforms. Leopoly is expanding into user-friendly, web-based VR – to see their VR product portfolio and developments go to vr.leopoly.com, Listen to the interview and make sure to subscribe, share and review the podcast – this is a cool one!
We may not yet be at the point where robots are taking all of our jobs … But why not pass off some of the workload at least to machine learning artificial intelligence software that sets the stage for users to employ its contract analysis and helps attorneys in their due diligence.
