Every year different organizations will publish their own version of “The state of 3D Printing”. These reports are super interesting to me, especially because they're all different! 2020 was a wild year. The status of manufacturing and 3D printing is evolving at an accelerated rate. In this episode I stepped back from interviews and analyzed 3 different reports. I pulled out what I think are the most important highlights, and you can digest them all in under an hour. What do you think about these types of reports? Are they useful for learning, or only as a lead magnet for the companies that publish them?

Amos Haviv joined 3D Hubs as Senior Engineering Manager after lockdown was implemented, when teams were already working fully-remotely. Although he’s had years of leadership experience, leading a brand new team, while being onboarded into a new role and being completely remote, came with a new set of challenges.This meant that Amos had to reassess how he approached his new role as an engineering manager. Instead of trying to get involved and figure out everything about the company at once, he decided to focus on one core thing: Building up trust within his new team through solid communication. This meant he could get to know his new team really well and really quickly, and understand how he could best support them remotely. This article is a summary of our conversation on the podcast.Watch the video and read the blog post here! (https://bit.ly/3mqfooZ)

Brian Garret van 3D Hubs deels zijn 'lessons learned' van de afgelopen jaren 3D Hubs. Hoe is het om zó snel te groeien en voor welke uitdagingen kom je te staan als we opeens in een wereldwijde crisis zitten?

This episode is number 3 in our Corona Combatants series. In this series we’re trying to amplify the efforts of our guests and their companies who are using the tools at their disposal to help fight the sprawling battle against Corona. If you’ve not heard the other episodes in this series, please check them out – they include distance learning resources from Legends of Learning, accelerated lending and distance lending from Boss insights, and a Maker based effort to produced PPE by CU Denver and Make4Covid. In this episode, we highlight the work of two companies - 3DHubs - we'll hear from Ben Redwood, and Sorcero -we'll hear from Nnaemeka Osakwe. 3DHubs bookended our 2019 miniseries on 3Dprinting, and Sorcero was one of the first companies we ever had on the show, and one of our first repeat guests, so it’s heartening that both of these companies – very much part of the M4Edge community - are helping fight this fight. More of these Corona Combatants mini episodes are on the way – please really do share these with others, especially if you know someone who can help. Stay curious and healthy!https://covid19.sorcero.com/https://www.gofundme.com/f/covid19-manufacturing-fundhttps://www.m4edge.com/strategy-garage/

Bram de Zwart is samen met Brian Garret en Filemon Schöffer medeoprichter van 3D Hubs. Hij deed Industrieel Ontwerpen in Delft en studeerde als eerste af op het onderwerp 3D printen. Nog maar 6 jaar geleden, in 2013, richtte hij 3D Hubs op. Het platform begon als een soort Airbnb voor 3D-printers, maar na 3 jaar kwamen ze erachter dat de vraag onder consumenten niet groot genoeg was. Het concept bleek meer geschikt voor de industrie. En dan met name bedrijven die zeer specifieke, technische onderdelen nodig hebben, zoals de auto-, medische- en luchtvaartindustrie. Deze herpositionering heeft duidelijk zijn vruchten afgeworpen. Op dit moment is een kwart van de Fortune 500 klant bij 3D-Hubs en vorige maand werd bekend dat het op #8 staat in de Technology Fast 50 van Deloitte, een lijst van de snelst groeiende en meest innovatieve bedrijven van Nederland. Dit voorjaar haalde 3D Hubs ook nog eens €18 miljoen op bij een aantal Nederlandse investeerders.

We used to dream of all the things we could and should 3D print and today we’re actually making them! Kris Steward joins Roger Cicala to discuss how a 3D printer he bought from Kickstarter lead to a room full of printers here at Lensrentals. He tells us the items he’s making, from beefing up battery doors to figuring out workarounds and bringing new items for Lensrentals into existence. It started with making our own gaskets and we’re currently printing 67 unique items. They range from things for products we couldn’t source for repair purposes, we’d make to ensure the product you rented was as close to how it would be if you bought it. Gear mentioned in this episode: Printers: Prusa Mk 3S Prusa Mk 3S MMU 2.0 Materials: PETG, (polyethylene terephthalate) Which has a high melt point so it’s high enough we can ship it and it won’t deform. Software: Kris recommends using a parametric based CAD software TinkerCad is free and what Kris started with Fusion360 is where Kris has settled and what he uses currently To get started yourself on a less immersive level: Check your cities local maker spaces if you’re looking to get something 3D printed for the first time. 3Dhubs is based out of Chicago and professionally prints for you Shapeways 3D prints professionally and ships out of Europe Spotlight on the Panasonic S1 Joey loves that the tech previously available in only M4/3 is now available to use in a full-frame camera. It’s a big beefy camera which feels great in hand Buttons are all laid out smartly EVF is nice and clear and bright Inbody stabilization is everything you’ve come to expect from Panasonic and works incredibly well. Joey can handhold shots down to 1/4 a second. AF and tracking work really well and better than the SL1 Important to tweak it to your style of shooting before heading out into the field, which is easy to do With the advent of the L-mount, there will be more lenses, such a the Sigma Art and Leica L mount and M-mount too!

Ben Redwood is director of business development at 3D Hubs, headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Founded in 2013, 3D Hubs offers parts prototyping and production to manufacturers using 3D Printing, CNC Machining and Injection Molding. Ben has also served as the director of supply chain, where he grew the 3D Hubs global supply chain across all manufacturing technologies. He began his tenure at 3D Hubs as a technical marketing manager, establishing the 3D Hubs Knowledge Base and authoring the 3D Printing Handbook. Prior to 3D Hubs, Ben was market development engineer at Galvanizers Association of Australia. He received his doctorate in Mechanical Engineering at University of Canterbury.

3D Hubs richtte zich aanvankelijk op de goedbedoelende 3D amateur printer, maar wijzigde haar koers. Die koerswijziging zorgt ervoor dat enorme groei mogelijk is. CEO en co-founder Bram de Zwart vertelt in Top Names over de voordelen van werken met 3D Hubs, verregaande automatisering en de wens een miljardenbedrijf te worden.

From concept to production run completion, Ben Redwood, Director of Supply Chain from 3D Hubs explains how to have online, on-demand manufacturing with instant design for manufacturing feedback for custom parts that is revolutionizing the manufacturing industry by automating human interactions to de-risk and accelerate the whole manufacturing process. Join hosts Lew Weiss and Tim Grady for this insightful interview. For more visit mfgtalkradio.com

Historically, a company who had a need for parts required their own expensive manufacturing operations or navigate complex and time-consuming negotiations with potential suppliers. Ben Redwood, Director of Supply Chain at 3D Hubs and the author of the 3D Printing Handbook, talks with Chris Mahar, Associate Editor of Manufacturing Engineering, about how the company is connecting customers and manufacturing job shops together. 3D Hubs is helping manufacturers increase their bottom line by using 21st century thinking to help customers meet their 3D printing, CNC machining and injection molding needs. Ben is the writer of The 3D Printing Handbook, a top selling book on 3D printing for professionals. 3D Hubs is offering a free download of the first chapters of the book.

Our show today is part 2 of our interview with Ben Redwood of 3DHubs. Ben is bookend-ing our miniseries on Additive Manufacturing, otherwise known as 3D Printing. In part 1 of our interview with Ben, we spent most of our time discussing many of the different additive manufacturing techniques, which was a great intro to the next set of episodes. Ben has also written a book about 3D Printing, and M4Edge listeners can get part of that book for free by going to https://www.3dhubs.com/podcast/m4edge/ . Also on the 3DHubs site, you can check out their really useful trends report about what‘s happening in the industry, by going to https://www.3dhubs.com/get/trends/. In between parts 1 and 2 of the Ben interview, we spoke with 4 fascinating founders of additive manufacturing companies, each with a really amazing technology, each markedly different from the next. They were Greg Mark of MarkForged, Bob Swartz of Impossible Objects, Nanci Hardwick of MELD Manufacturing and Blake Teipel of Essentium. If you’ve missed those, I encourage you to go back and give em a listen. Today we close the miniseries with Ben and discuss 3DHubs' business model, which is manufacturing as a service, we discuss the 3D Printing industry and its place in the global manufacturing chain, and of course, since Marco can’t help himself, we discuss SciFi.NB: It turns out that if you live outside the US, chances are that Marco and I haven't seen your review. Please let us know if you've written one, so we can give you a shout out on the show - send an email to info@m4edge.com

Where else will you find a podcast on 3D printing that references cassette tapes and cowboy hats???In this new episode of our 3D Printing series, we talk with Blake Teipel, CEO and cofounder of Essentium. Blake is perhaps the best person to explain how the success of 3D printing relies on the synergy of machines, software and materials. He started as a design engineer, went back to school for a PhD in materials science, and then set out to create 3D printing solutions that can better solve the hard design problems faced by engineers. Before co-founding Essentium, Blake worked at two large industrial companies, John Deere and Caterpillar. Based on this experience, Blake concluded that the primary advantage of Essentium’s 3D printing solutions had to be speed: only speed can allow 3D printing machines to produce large numbers of parts at lower cost, and make them economically competitive at large scale against traditional manufacturing techniques. For Blake, this is the secret sauce that will allow 3D printing to play an increasingly large role in industry. In the episode, we discuss cybersecurity, and how Essentium uses software to check the materials and the production protocols, including for example the extrusion temperature, so that the parts produced can be certified, protecting against counterfeiting (and without using blockchain, to Michael’s great satisfaction and relief…)We also discuss how 3D printing will transform global supply chains, shifting production closer to the ultimate consumers. While at the moment this has supported reshoring of manufacturing to the US, as in emerging markets wages rise and consumers get wealthier, we should see more production move closer to these increasingly attractive developing markets. An important note: don't forget to stick around for our Ricky's Reports from the Edge segment, at the end of the show.

Our journey into the world of 3D Printing continues today with Nanci Hardwick, CEO of MELD Manufacturing Corporation—Last year, MELD was voted the Most Disruptive New Technology Award at the R&D 100 awards.3D Printing includes a variety of techniques and processes, each with their own advantages and each best suited for a different use. (You can learn about several of these technologies in the first episode of this miniseries, with 3DHub's Ben Redwood.) So what makes MELD unique, and what is it best suited for? Nanci argues that MELD offers two key advantages: its ability to produce large-size parts and seond, the fact that MELD machines can operate out in the field, not just in a controlled environment.MELD machines are not what you would use to print the nifty, intricate, paper-weight sized metal objects that you often get handed if you visit a 3D printing shop. No, MELD comes into its own with big parts like a 30-feet long tractor-trailer rail. Other 3D printing companies we have interviewed on our show say that they can reach large scale thanks to the speed of their machine. When they say “scale”, they mean the large number of parts they can print in an hour or in a day. When MELD boasts about scale, they talk about the actual size of an individual part—though it can’t print an entire spaceship yet… We also discuss with Nanci how additive manufacturing—3D printing, that is—will change our lives, and why you should encourage your children to pursue interdisciplinary passions. Nanci’s vision of the future was truly inspiring.Don't Forget: please share the episode with a friend!

Today’s episode is a conversation with Bob Swartz, the founder and chairman of Impossible Objects. Although that title does a disservice to his resume. He literally grew up in in the manufacturing business, watching his father figure out how to design and build things; he’s been a consultant to the MIT Media lab, he’s got several patents, which he’s licensed to major corporations … through his own patent licensing company; he’s founded and operated software companies, advertising companies, telephony companies; he is a true polymath. He’s also something of a philosopher, which makes for a wonderful conversation.As for Bob's current company, Impossible Objects, It uses a composite based additive manufacturing process - CBAM - which yields superior material properties. Like the other additive manufacturing companies we interview for this miniseries, Impossible Objects is aimed for the big boy manufacturing market – some of the users they brag about include Ford and the US Air Force. But this conversation with Bob is about much more than their customers, its about technological change, psychological lock in, economic ripple effects of new technologies, and more. AND, outside of a fantastic and fanstastical scene in Woody Allen’s Annie Hall, this conversation has my favorite use of Marshal McLuhan to make a point. :)If you haven’t already done so, you may want to check out episode 1 with Ben Redwood of 3DHubs, both to help you understand some of the technical terms used in this conversation – Ben goes through many of the different technologies that make up the current universe of 3D printing, and to get the URLs for some free material about 3DPrinting, created by 3DHubs. Ben also talks about the industry at large, which may give you some useful context. One last thing – immediately after the conversation with Bob, we’ve got a quick update from Ricky Buch, so stick around for Ricky's Reports from the Edge.

For the second episode in our miniseries on Additive Manufacturing, we interview Greg Mark, founder and CEO of Markforged (along with their Director of Communications Trak Lord).Deloitte recently ranked Markforged 10th in their 2018 North America Technology Fast 500 Rankings. Forbes put them on a list of next billion dollar startups. But the company's success isn’t the only thing that makes this interview interesting. Business economists should listen closely to what Greg says about, for example, the increased economies of scale. And investors should pay attention when he talks about massive consolidation that inevitably will hit the industry. And technologists should be on the lookout for his predictions on breaking technology barriers and the certainty of advance. And manufacturers should pay attention to the things that his technology can do. And for the rest of us – just keep being curious!If you've not yet listened to episode 1 of this miniseries with Ben Redwood of 3DHubs, you may want to go back and listen, as Ben explains some of the technical details of the industry and different types of 3D Printing technologies. AND, 3DHubs has made available to M4Edge listeners two free resources about 3D Printing; you can hear the URLs for the downloads in the episode.P.S. PLEASE forward this episode, or one of your favorites, to a friend. We want to build this community and we need your help.

In our view, 3D Printing - also known as Additive Manufacturing - ranks up there with Artificial Intelligence as one of "those technologies," meaning one of those that truly holds potential for fundamental changes in how the economy functions. To say that 3D Printing represents a new way of building things is like saying that commercial aviation represented a new way of getting places. 3D Printing will change the who, what, where and how of manufacturing. The “when” is starting now.Our interview with Ben Redwood of 3DHubs is split into two parts. In this episode, we use Ben as our technical expert, and he’ll explain to us all the different kinds of additive manufacturing processes that exist, go over some technical terms, and talk to us about the industry in general. It’s a bit technical at first, but there are two rewards for listening through to the end of the episode. First: Ben’s written a book on 3DPrinting, two chapters of which are being made available for free, to you. Second: later in the episode Ben reveals insights from their latest Future Trends report, which is also available for free, and we dive into a discussion of how 3D printing will change everyone’s life. In part two of the interview, which we’ll air in a few weeks, we’ll talk to Ben about 3D Hubs, where he’s the Director of Supply Chain. In between, we’re going to hear from the founders of 4 of the most interesting and promising 3D Printing startups out there, including Greg Mark of Markforged, Nanci Hardwick of MELD Manufacturing, Bob Swartz of Impossible Objects, and Blake Teipel of Essentium.

3D Printing is coming. To a factory near you. And a garage. And a desktop. And to the M4Edge podcast. Next up: interviews with 5 companies in the space.

Click to view slideshow. A aquatic jetpack designed by Archie O’Brien “I want this to be something so cool that you’re wearing it when you’re not even using it,” O’Brien said. “You feel like James Bond.” O’Brien has created a aquatic jetpack; The CUDA jetpack was made using a 3D printer and took several months. The creation, for a final year project in his product design class at the U.K’s Loughborough University. He plans to sell the aquatic jetpack for around $6,000. “By this time next year, I’m planning on having the production model,” he said. “I’ll be going around doing promo videos around the world. I plan to get sponsored by GoPro and Red Bull… The idea is to be able to produce this one, get enough funding to reinvest it into the company, and try and make a much cheaper model. That’s almost working it like Tesla did, with something that really grabs people’s attention, and then bringing that price down to something people can afford more.” THE PATH TO GET HERE O’Brien’s journey to the potential Elon Musk of the watersport propulsion world began when he saw a promotional video for the SEABOB, a handheld aqua scooter that’s half jet-ski and half one of those foam floats they used to give the kids at school who couldn’t swim properly. He liked what he saw — at least, with the exception of its $17,000 price tag. Fortunately, O’Brien had just found out about 3D printing, and the idea occurred to him that, if he couldn’t afford a SEABOB, he might just be able to build his own. “I was so surprised to find that there really wasn’t anything like this that you could wear on your back.” He began poring over research papers like “Numerical Analysis of a Waterjet Propulsion System,” cover to cover. He hooked up with 3D Hubs, a manufacturing platform that provides affordable and fast 3D printing, CNC machining and injection-molding services. He studied the design of high-end cars made by Lamborghini, Mclaren, and Aston Martin, which he wanted his product to resemble aesthetically. Things were progressing nicely until a friend gave him a copy of Daniel Wilson’s 2007 non-fiction book Where’s My Jetpack: A Guide to the Amazing Science Fiction Future that Never Arrived. Suddenly the project parameters changed. Handheld devices were out. Underwater jetpacks were in. “I’ve always wanted to fly, and I just thought that if you can make the experience hands-free it’s a lot better for many reasons,” O’Brien said. “I was so surprised to find that there really wasn’t anything like this that you could wear on your back.” “Think of it like an airplane. If it’s not moving you can’t turn. It kind of feels like you’re a little underwater airplane.” The final CUDA is almost exclusively 3D printed, with the exception of the battery and electronics. Because he wasn’t able to get permission to test it in public spaces, he’s so far put it through its paces in private swimming pools — although he hopes this will change in the future. He hasn’t yet been able to decisively measure a top speed, either, due to the lack of a speedometer and limited testing space. It’s definitely faster than regular swimming, though. “Oh yeah,” he assured us. “Yeah, yeah, yeah.” It needs to go fast because it won’t steer properly unless you’re going quickly. “I’m still learning how to use it,” he admitted. “It seems that the faster you go the easier it is to turn. Think of it like an airplane. If it’s not moving you can’t turn. It kind of feels like you’re a little underwater airplane.” The commercial version will be even faster, he explained, since the current prototype doesn’t have the more powerful battery pack he’s hoping to add. “It would have taken me an extra week and I didn’t have a week to do it,” he said. THE LEADER IN WATERSPORTS PROPULSION Archie O’Brien has big plans for his product. As noted, he’s currently targeting Q2 2019 for the first CUDA production models. It won’t stop there, though. This is just product one of a larger water sports brand. “I’ve got man...

I can't give him the title of “King of 3D Printing in the World”, but I will give him the title for Michigan. And for good reason….read more below Jonah Dorman is the owner of SOC3D, which is a 3D printing company based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. His company has the most reviews on 3D Hubs (think of AirBnB for 3D printers) in the entire state of Michigan. They have 35 3D printers in use, which is truly amazing. I learn a lot myself on this call about 3D printer filament formulation, how they actually make printer filament, how to run parts fast, and we discuss all my headaches with my 3D printer I've had lately! Key Takeaways ASA is going to be the replacement material for ABS. ABS was never created for 3D printing, it was made for injection molding. Jonah is probably the first person I have seen that has so many different printers (and types of printers) that he can fully optimize for any type of part. For example, tall but skinny objects are perfect for a delta printer.   To Contact Jonah info@soc3D.us His 3D hub Call him 727-386-6825   Since we talked about 3D hubs, I figured I might as well share my 3D Hub in the show notes (honestly don't know what I never thought of that before) Caddesignhelp 3D hub

The Netherlands is fast becoming one of Europe's major tech hubs with American technology giants Uber, Netflix and Tesla choosing the country for its European base, not to mention domestic success stories such as TomTom and Booking.com. But what features underlie the country’s success and what challenges does the Netherlands face in growing its startup ecosystem? On that topic, Carlos speaks to three veterans of the Dutch ecosystem: Prince Constantijn van Oranje, startup envoy for Startup Delta - the Dutch support program that boosts the entrepreneurial climate in the Netherlands - alongside serial entrepreneur and Rockstart Founder, Oscar Kneppers and Ton van 't Noordende, Venture Partner at the seed and early-stage investors Keadyn as they discuss company building and what makes the Netherlands an attractive destination for startups and venture capital. Tune in to understand how the Netherlands’ small size naturally builds an appetite for platform and marketplace-based companies like 3D Hubs which, by default, must scale by expanding abroad – and how one of biggest challenges the ecosystem faces is its fragmentation. Learn also how to build a company, why flexibility, resilience and execution power are crucial in teams, and which sector the country’s own version of the ‘Paypal Mafia’ is likely to come from.

In this WTFFF?! episode Tom and Tracy discuss how success in 3D Printing involves failing, but failing as fast as possible while spending the least amount of money possible. There are arguments to be made that you should not buy your own 3D printer, and just use 3D Hubs, the UPS Store, or a service bureau. Others would argue that having your own 3D printer is the fastest way to fail at the least cost, and the way to go. Regardless, whether you are prototyping parts for tooling, testing parts for production, or using 3D printing to create fine art, time is money.
