Future nutrition should be personalized, with artificial intelligence as a key driver, according to Melissa Snover, founder of Nourished, a UK-based company that makes 3D-printed gummy vitamin and supplement stacks.  She believes the current approach to supplementation and health products is outdated and poorly tailored to individual needs. Snover, registered dietitian, joined us to discuss the burgeoning field of precision nutrition. Nourished uses AI-powered algorithms to create customized nutrient gummies, based on users' lifestyle data and health goals—an approach she says offers a significant leap beyond the traditional "one size fits all" vitamin regime.  PartiQlar supplementsEnhance your wellness journey with PartiQlar supplements.

Matt Pine is training Marines to use 3D printing in the field and helping deploy the technology globally for the United States Marine Corps. Working primarily with desktop machines, he focuses on MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul), improvised repair, and delivering parts to where servicemen and women need them most. Matt talks about the needs of the Marine Corps, and we explore the differences between 3D printing at Camp Lejeune and in a forward operating area. We discuss which parts are needed, what materials are required, and how 3D printing can be scaled effectively. We also learn how Matt trains Marines to 3D print and which Marines can and should be trained in this process. His experiences overseas and in conflict zones give him a sanguine view of what is needed and what 3D printing can realistically deliver. This episode was brought to you by Continuum Powders.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with the masked collective known as the PoliePals—led by previous guest Cathal—to explore their audacious vision of blending humans, nature, and machines through cryptographic reality verification and decentralized systems. They talk about neural and cryptographic projector-camera technologies like the “truth beam” and “reality transform,” analog AI using optical computing, and how open protocols and decentralized consensus could shift power away from corporate control. Along the way, they share stories from Moad's chaotic tinkering workshop, Meta's precise Rust-coded Alchemy project, and Terminus Actual's drone Overwatch. For links to their projects, visit Poliebotics on Twitter and Poliebotics on GitHub.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:05 Neural and cryptographic projector-camera systems, reality transform for art and secure recordings, provably unclonable functions.00:10 Moad's GNOMAD identity, chaotic holistic problem-solving, tinkering with tools, truth beam's manifold mapping.00:15 Terminus Actual's drone Overwatch, security focus, six hats theory, Lorewalker's cryptic mathematical integrations.00:20 Analog AI and optical computing, stacked computational layers, local inference, physical reality interacting with AI.00:25 Meta's Alchemy software, music-driven robotics, precise Rust programming, contrast with neural network unpredictability.00:30 Decentralization, corporate dependency critique, hardware ownership, open protocols like Matrix, web of trust, Sybil attacks.00:35 Truth beam feedback loops, decentralized epistemology, neo-feudalism, Diamond Age references, nano drone warfare theory.00:40 Biotech risks, lab truth beams for verification, decentralized ID systems, qualitative consensus manifolds.00:45 Maker culture insights, 3D printing community, iterative prototyping, simulators, recycling prints.00:50 Investment casting, alternative energy for classic cars, chaotic hardware solutions, MoAD workshop's mystical array.00:55 Upcoming PolyPals content, Big Yellow Island recordings, playful sign-offs, decentralized futures.Key InsightsThe PoliePals are pioneering a system that combines cryptographic models, neural projector-camera technologies, and decentralized networks to create tools like the “truth beam” and “reality transform,” which verify physical reality as a provably unclonable function. This innovation aims to secure recordings and provide a foundation for trustworthy AI training data by looping projections of blockchain-derived noise into reality and back.Moad's character, the GNOMAD—a hybrid of gnome and nomad—embodies a philosophy of chaotic problem-solving using holistic, artful solutions. His obsession with edge cases and tinkering leads to surprising fixes, like using a tin of beans to repair a broken chair leg, and illustrates how resourcefulness intersects with decentralization in practical ways.Terminus Actual provides a counterbalance in the group dynamic, bringing drone surveillance expertise and a healthy skepticism about humanity's inherent decency. His perspective highlights the need for security consciousness and cautious optimism when developing open systems that could otherwise be exploited.Meta's Alchemy project demonstrates the contrast between procedural precision and chaotic neural approaches. Written entirely in Rust, it enables music-driven robotic control for real-world theater environments. Alchemy represents a future where tightly optimized code can interact seamlessly with hardware like Arduinos while remaining resistant to AI's unpredictable tendencies.The episode explores how decentralization could shape the coming decades, likening it to a neo-feudal age where people consciously opt into societies based on shared values. With open protocols like Matrix, decentralized IDs, and webs of trust, individuals could regain agency over their data and technological ecosystems while avoiding corporate lock-in.Optical computing experiments reveal the potential for analog AI, where stacked shallow computational layers in physical media allow AI to “experience” sensory input more like a human. Though still speculative, this approach could produce richer, lower-latency responses compared to purely digital models.Maker culture and hardware innovation anchor the conversation in tangible reality. Moad's MoAD workshop, filled with tools from industrial sewing machines to 3D printers and lathes, underscores how accessible technologies are enabling chaotic creativity and recycling systems. This grassroots hardware tinkering aligns with the PoliePals' broader vision of decentralized, cooperative technological futures.

She highlights how roles like CNC machinists and 3D printing operators blend hands-on work with advanced tech, making them both in-demand and engaging for a younger, tech-savvy workforce.The conversation explores the rise of Fab Labs worldwide and their role in democratizing access to manufacturing tools. Boisvert shares her experience founding a Fab Lab in Santa Fe, enabling students and adults to gain practical, project-based experience in CAD design, 3D printing, and repair skills critical for today's manufacturing environment.Boisvert underscores the persistent skills gap in manufacturing, noting that 600,000 U.S. manufacturing jobs remain unfilled. She attributes part of this to outdated perceptions of manufacturing as “dirty and unsafe,” a narrative she's actively working to change through her books and training programs that show how modern factories are highly technical and collaborative.She reveals her team's development of a closed-loop large language model for workforce training. Unlike ChatGPT, this system draws from a proprietary database of technical manuals and expert knowledge, offering precise, context-specific answers for students and workers without relying on the open internet.The episode dives into generational differences in the workplace. Boisvert describes how Gen Z workers are motivated by purpose and efficiency, often asking “why” to understand the impact of their work. She sees Lean principles as a key to managing and empowering this generation to innovate and stay engaged.On automation, Boisvert stresses that robots are not replacing humans in manufacturing but filling labor shortages. She notes that while robots improve efficiency, they require humans to program, monitor, and repair them—skills that new collar workers are being trained to master.Finally, she shares her innovative approach to storytelling in her book People of the New Collar Workforce, which uses augmented reality to bring worker stories to life. Readers can scan photos to hear directly from individuals about their experiences transitioning into high-tech manufacturing careers.

Printing Money is back with Episode 30, and it's that quarterly time, so we are happy and thankful to welcome back Troy Jensen (Managing Director, Cantor Fitzgerald) to review the Q1 2025 3DP/AM public market earnings. Public market valuations are based on forward looking earnings, but the reporting calendar means we recorded this “Q1 2025” episode on the very last day of Q2.  That is to say, we are looking back as fast as possible in order to look forward. Danny and Troy start off by ruminating on the lack of 3DP/AM participation in a seemingly general public market momentum.  Tariffs and interest rates play their roles, still it is incumbent upon the 3DP/AM industry to find its footing. Next, Danny and Troy dive into the Q1 2025 public market earnings.  What of Stratasys and its new cash stockpile?  Can 3D Systems engineer a financial turnaround?  What is the path ahead for Nano Dimension under a new CEO?  Does Q1 2025 show that Materialise's Q4 2024 disappointment was just an outlier? From here, Danny and Troy turn to some private market players, in part because there are not as many relevant pubic pure-plays nowadays, but also because these privates are significant and can have impacts on the public market players' performance. The conversation transitions to some green shoot success stories and last, a quick a look ahead at Q2, which of course has already happened… Please enjoy Episode 30 and check out our previous episodes too.

We use articulators to help ‘mimic' our patient's jaw movements, to ultimately do less adjustments/revisions in the future. But are digital articulators there yet? Or is analog king? Or is digital dentistry just flashy tech with no real-world benefits? Can a virtual articulator truly match the movements of your patient's jaw? Is a CBCT really better than a facebow—and WHEN should you use which? In this cutting-edge episode with Dr. Seth Atkins, we dive into the world of digital articulation—exploring how tools like virtual articulators, CBCT alignment, and 3D-printed provisionals are transforming clinical workflows. You'll learn how to combine analog wisdom with digital precision, improve lab communication, and make full-mouth rehabs more predictable and efficient than ever. From mounting accuracy to motion capture, this episode is your ultimate guide to articulating smarter in the digital age. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT31Ecf_kDo Watch PDP230 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Always send your lab the color version of your digital scan — the PLY file — not just the STL. STL shows shape, but PLY shows color — like markings and tissue detail. Ask your lab: "Are you seeing color, or do you need the PLY?" Better scans = better results Need to Read it? Check out the Full Episode Transcript below! Key Takeaways: Digital methods can enhance accuracy and patient outcomes → but only when used intentionally. Understanding both analog and digital techniques is crucial → they complement each other, not compete. Mentorship plays a significant role in advancing dental education → experience accelerates clinical confidence. Digital workflows can significantly reduce chair time → and improve patient comfort in the process. The integration of CBCT with digital workflows enhances diagnostics → giving clearer insight into static and functional relationships. Digital provisionals offer a cost-effective and efficient solution → saving time, money, and frustration for both dentist and patient. Axiography is essential for capturing patient motion accurately → because real movement matters more than assumptions.
