    Join Talking Additive host Matt Griffin and Dylan George, UltiMaker's Application Engineer Manager, Americas, as they sit down to talk about Metal FFF and 3D printing with Jeremy Robinson, Motocross Racing Technologist at Kawasaki Motors Corp., USA.  Jeremy is responsible for the mechanical design of many of the specific components for Kawasaki Motocross Racing motorcycles. Jeremy and his team have been leveraging 3D printing for several years for custom parts, tool management, and fast design iteration. But it is only in the past year or so that they have taken the leap into Metal FFF, and the new process has opened up new capabilities for his shop, and at a price point that makes sense for a large number of SKUs and small-volume batches that they run as they develop and optimize parts each year.

Joshua is introduced to Talking Additive by Kae Woei Lim, Creative Director, Imaginables. In the first half of the episode, Kae Woei notes: “A lot of young engineers are getting access to 3D printing at an early age. [As a result], in the next 3, 5, 10 years' time, 3D printing won't be a novelty type of technology. The new workforce is more inclined to use 3D printing in their workflows and see how they can implement it into their businesses.”
