Podcasts about 3D printing

If you win "Best Feature" at a film festival, but the festival doesn't give you a trophy, can you make your own trophy? Or is that too cringe? Spouses and filmmakers Kaye and Mariel disagree! Their film THE REBRAND (trailer here) won several film festival awards! But most of the festival organizations did not provide trophies, or any physical representation of the win for that matter. Kaye wants to design and 3-D print her own trophies to commemorate the occasion, and to serve as a reminder that "they like her They really like her!" But, while Mariel is proud of the work they have done and the awards they received, she's also trying to rely less on external validation. Who's right?

In this episode, Fabian Alefeld sits down with Ante Lausic, Lead Process Engineer at General Motors' Additive Industrialization Center (AIC), to explore what it takes to successfully scale additive manufacturing (AM) in the automotive industry. Ante explains why automotive manufacturing demands more than innovative technology - it requires AM-native designs, cost-effective production, automotive-qualified materials, and repeatable processes capable of supporting high-volume manufacturing. He also shares how GM has evolved from using AM primarily for rapid prototyping to establishing the Additive Industrialization Center in 2020 to evaluate new technologies, validate production readiness, and strengthen collaboration across the supply chain.The conversation highlights real-world production applications, including the Cadillac Celestiq, which incorporates more than 130 AM components, such as a safety-critical binder-jetted stainless steel seatbelt guide and aluminum steering wheel trim. Ante also discusses the rapid growth of additive manufacturing for tooling, including die-casting inserts, plant fixtures, and end-of-arm tooling, and offers his perspective on where the technology is delivering the greatest value for automotive manufacturers today.01:56 Scaling AM in Automotive05:10 Value and Cost Reality07:27 GM Additive Center Origins11:02 Educating Engineers and Suppliers14:34 Celestiq AM Success Stories19:44 Supplier Freedom and Standards23:00 Tooling Inserts Big Wins27:50 End of Arm Tooling Growth29:36 Motorsports and F1 Links32:10 Aftermarket Digital Warehousing33:39 Materials and PPAP Hurdles36:14 PPAP Explained Simply38:43 Rethinking Qualification Costs41:07 Scaling to Corvette Volumes

Key takeaways: Manufacturing is becoming faster by bringing design, quoting, manufacturability feedback, and sourcing into one connected workflow.  AI should augment engineers, automating repetitive tasks while leaving complex decisions and relationship-building to people.  The biggest bottlenecks in manufacturing are often information flow and connectivity, not the manufacturing process itself.  Great manufacturing partners don't always have the newest technology. Strong processes, culture, and operational excellence matter more than flashy equipment.  Global manufacturing networks are becoming more resilient through flexibility, allowing companies to adapt quickly to changing supply chain conditions.  The best engineering careers are built through intentional career choices, strong mentors, and continuous learning, not by following a predetermined path.

Fabian Alefeld interviews certified prosthetist/orthotist and EastPoint Prosthetics VP Brent Wright about his career path into O&P, his shift from being anti-digital to adopting scanning and additive manufacturing, and the impact on patient care and global access. Wright describes traditional fabrication workflows (casting, plaster positives, vacuum forming thermoplastics for orthoses, and carbon fiber/resin layups for prostheses) as artistic but time-consuming, hazardous, and lacking records. His digital journey accelerated after a Guatemala trip with Life Enabled highlighted the need to scale care; he focused on scanning, digital modification, and later powder-bed fusion, moving toward SLS with materials like PK5000 and TPU. He emphasizes pressure casting for prosthetic sockets, the value of digital records for insurance, and how AM can change socket “dynamics” to improve comfort and heal wounds. The discussion also covers RADii's data-driven fitting approach, Life Enabled's mix of traditional and 3D-printed solutions (including pediatric feet), modular “kit” concepts for developing regions, and barriers to sensors/actuators in the US due to reimbursement.02:33 Brent Origin Story09:30 Why Go Digital11:17 Scaling Global Access17:32 Traditional O&P Workflow20:02 Casting And Fabrication Steps24:07 Digital Workflow And Scanning33:22 Benefits Of Digital Records36:36 Flexible Liner Heals Wound40:47 RADii Data Meets Craft46:06 Life Enabled Model01:01:50 Democratizing via Manufacturing01:08:01 Sensors vs Simplicity

Hey there Voices of the Bench community, this is Trish Jones with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS Emax Zirconia offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help save you valuable production time while maintaining consistent results. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out to your local Ivoclar rep today and discover how IPS Emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow. As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one. The Voices From the Bench microphones head to the FDLA Symposium for three conversations that perfectly capture what makes this industry so special. Thanks to the wonderful people at GPS Digital RPD, Elvis and Barb got to sit down with longtime friend Morris Fucarino to celebrate an incredible milestone—50 years as a CDT. Morris shares how he found his way into dental technology, what earning certification has meant throughout his career, and why he believes every technician should strive to be the best they can be. From belt-driven handpieces and gold crowns to running a successful one-man laboratory with just three loyal doctors, Morris proves that passion, relationships, and knowledge never go out of style. His stories are a reminder that while technology continues to change, craftsmanship and pride in your work remain timeless. Next, the conversation shifts to Enja Dorjchuluun from Sakr Dental Arts, who talks about helping lead one of Florida's fastest-growing laboratories while serving on the FDLA Board of Directors. She discusses the challenges of managing a lab spread across multiple buildings, the excitement of moving into a brand-new facility, and why giving back through organized dentistry has become such an important part of her career. From developing future technicians to creating educational opportunities and strengthening state associations, Enja shares why investing in people is every bit as important as investing in technology. To wrap things up, Elvis and Barb meet Joseph Núñez Reyes from GPS Digital Dental Lab, whose journey from Puerto Rico to Orlando is fueled by determination, curiosity, and a love for digital dentistry. After leaving biomedical engineering behind, Joseph found his passion in the dental laboratory, worked his way from the model room to supervising a modern CAM department, and now showcases laboratory workflows through social media to inspire the next generation of technicians. With dreams of one day returning to Puerto Rico to build a state-of-the-art laboratory, Joseph reminds us that the future of dental technology is in very capable hands. Ever notice the busiest labs aren't always the ones working the longest hours? They're usually the ones with a workflow that keeps moving—even after everyone heads home. Real productivity isn't about asking your team to do more; it's about having the right tools doing more for your team. That's where Roland's DGSHAPE DWX milling solutions really shine. Built to keep production moving whether you're milling a single case or running overnight, they free your technicians to focus on finishing cases, serving customers, and growing the business instead of babysitting equipment. That's what real productivity looks like: more output, fewer interruptions, and less time spent chasing problems. Because every hour your mill is producing is another hour your lab is creating value. If you're ready to get more from every production day, discover what Roland's DGSHAPE DWX milling solutions can do for your lab at rolanddental.com.Special Guests: Enja Dorjchuluun, Joseph Núñez Reyes, and Morris Fucarino CDT.

So it's a 3D-printed cowl or helmet. It's like a mask basically but it's specifically designed and tailored to fit my face exactly.这是一个3D打印的头罩或头盔。它基本上就像一个面罩，但它是专门设计并量身定做，以完全贴合我的脸型。Because of that, it's kind of difficult to get on because it is a rigid, hard plastic.因为它是一种坚硬的塑料制成的，所以很难戴上。But the amount of time that it takes to make something like this is, and cost even is far superior than it would be to sculpting it, molding it, casting it.但是制作一个这样的面具要花费的时间和成本，都比雕刻、塑形、铸造要高得多。We are cosplayers. We are comic book nerds and fans of comic book culture and everything like that. So we are naturally inclined to craft things and creativity.我们是角色扮演者。我们是漫画书虫和漫画文化的粉丝。我们自然就很喜欢手工制作和创意发挥。That led me to a job at the Long Beach Public Library teaching 3D design and 3D printing, which led me to purchasing one, which I've used to make costumes and props and things like that for cosplay.那让我在长滩公共图书馆找到了一份工作，教授3D设计和3D打印，然后我就买了一个3D打印机，用来制作角色扮演所需的服装、道具之类的东西。We have a lot of friends in the medical field and stuff and just, "What can we do to help instead of just sitting at home watching Netflix?" although, if you are home, watching Netflix, great, do that. Stay there.我们在医学领域有很多朋友，然后就在想，“除了宅在家里看网飞剧，我们能怎么帮助你们？”不过如果你确实在家看网飞剧，那也不错，就这么待着吧。This is what we've done in one week on two machines. With the masks, they are done in three pieces. There is the front nose part.这是我们在一周内用两台机器完成的工作。这些面罩由三个部分组成。 这是前鼻部分。There's the inside. There's like a shield and in between that is the four layers of MERV-13 filters.这边是里侧。里侧有一个像防护罩一样的东西，打开之后，中间是四层MERV-13过滤网。With COVID-19, everyone's, you know, needs help on the respirators or the ventilator machines.由于新冠肺炎，每个人都需要呼吸器或呼吸机的帮助。This is a way that two people can use one machine now.用这个东西，两个人就可以共用一台呼吸机。So, it splits off, kind of like, you know, back in the day, you had for Walkman and you could let two people could listen to it at the same time. So, two people can use one machine now.这中间是分叉的，有点像以前的随身听，可以让两个人同时听音乐。现在两个人可以共用一台设备了。So, we're just basically going to the friends that we know, the people who are actually doing the jobs right now and just reaching out to them first because that's easier.我们基本上就是要联系我们认识的朋友，那些目前正在从事相关工作的人，并且先和他们取得联系，因为这样更容易些。There is a gray area and we talked about this before, where hospitals are not supposed to accept anything from a non-medical professional.我们之前讨论过一个灰色地带，那就是医院不可以接受非医学专业人士的任何物品。However, they have been reaching out to other people because they just need anything rather than nothing.但是，医生正在向其他人求助，因为他们的物资已经不够了，什么都得拿来用。And that's why we are kind of trying to go out of our way to make sure that these things are able to withstand the processes that they would go through for sanitization.这就是为什么我们想方设法确保这些面罩能够经受住消毒的过程。So, we've switched to these ones here, which are the high heat plastic.我们把材料换成了这种高热量的塑料。So, they'll melt at a much higher rate, higher temperature. They are a lot sturdier.它们会在更高的温度下以更快的速度融化。它们要坚固得多。They are going to last longer. They can withstand being sanitized over and over and over again.它们将更加持久耐用。它们能够承受反复多次的消毒处理。We have set up an Amazonwish list. So, whatever people buy on there, gets shipped directly and we are just using it.我们已经创建了一个亚马逊心愿单。人们在上面买的任何东西都会直接发货，我们只需使用即可。People get weird about like sending money or things like that. What's it actually going to? And yeah, and we just want to do this.如果直接打钱的话一些人会觉得很奇怪。比如钱到底用来干什么了？我们只是想生产面罩、We are not trying to make anything out of this or whatever. We're just trying to help. 我们不指望能获得什么好处，只是想帮忙。

With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one. This week we finally get to sit down with someone we've been talking about ever since meeting him at exocad Insights in Spain—Felix Chung from Imagine USA. What starts as the story of a kid who dreamed of becoming an astronaut quickly turns into one of the most fascinating journeys in digital dentistry. From researching zero gravity at NASA to trimming models in his uncle's dental lab (a job he absolutely hated), Felix shares how an aerospace engineering degree unexpectedly became the perfect foundation for helping shape the digital lab industry. Felix takes us through the early days of Imagine, back when it was known as iMilling, explaining how a brand-new 3Shape scanner, a lot of late-night research, and a willingness to take risks led him to become one of the pioneers of custom implant abutments and titanium bars. He opens up about betting everything on a quarter-million-dollar milling machine that barely worked, buying his uncle out of the business, and how meeting Jordan Greenberg completely changed the trajectory of the company. It's a story full of huge risks, bigger lessons, and the determination it takes to build something from the ground up. The conversation dives deep into the evolution of digital dentistry as Felix explains how Imagine expanded from a milling center into one of the industry's leading providers of CAD/CAM solutions, Exocad, HyperDENT, scanners, mills, and technical support. He shares why hiring great people has always been more important than selling great products, how the industry has shifted between outsourcing and in-house production over the last fifteen years, and why supporting laboratories through every technological change remains the company's biggest priority. We also spend plenty of time talking implants as Felix tells the incredible story behind the Mist implant component line, how a relationship with the United States Navy helped launch the brand, and how partnerships with companies like Keystone and SIC are helping bring better, more affordable restorative solutions to laboratories. Along the way, we discuss OEM versus compatible components, the ever-changing implant landscape, and what's next for Imagine—including new implant systems and a patent-pending angled custom abutment solution that could change how labs manufacture restorations in-house. If you enjoy hearing how innovation, perseverance, and a little bit of luck can transform an entire career, this is an episode you won't want to miss.Special Guest: Felix Chung.

Escaping the Maker Bubble, Printing for Outside

In this episode of the Mastering Rod Building Podcast, Bill Falconer talks with longtime custom rod builder Mark Crouse, also known as the Munich Rod Man, about 52 years of rod building, custom craftsmanship, 3D printing, carbon fiber grips, and building a recognizable personal style.Mark shares how he started fishing as a child and built his first rod at age 12 after his mother brought home a blank from a closing sporting goods store. With limited access to parts in Germany, he learned to improvise with parachute cord, electrical tape, goose quills, and whatever materials he could find.Bill and Mark discuss Mark's wide range of rod building skills, including decorative wraps, cork, wood, birch, acrylic, carbon fiber, marbling, finish work, custom butt caps, reel seats, trim pieces, and ergonomic grip designs.The conversation also goes deep on how Mark is using 3D printing to create custom reel seats, winding checks, grip shells, trim parts, and carbon fiber-covered handles. He explains filament choices, printer setup, heat resistance, wall thickness, carbon fiber sleeves, and why 3D printing gives rod builders new ways to create truly one-of-a-kind components.Mark also shares thoughts on matte finishes, ultralight rods, fly rod handle fit, hydro dipping, custom inlays, and why serious rod builders should focus on developing their own style instead of copying someone else's work.The episode also includes details on the 2026 Mastering Rod Building Seminar, happening August 14–16 at the Orange Beach Event Center at The Wharf in Orange Beach, Alabama. The weekend will feature hands-on rod building education, seminars, meals, a Saturday crawfish and shrimp boil, discounted lodging nearby, and fellowship with the rod building community.

Fabian Alefeld interviews Omar Mireles, Director of Manufacture and Materials at Space Nuclear Power Corporation (Space Nukes), about his career spanning NASA, Oak Ridge, and Los Alamos and how additive manufacturing (AM) reshaped space hardware development. Omar describes early exposure to SLS prototyping, graduate work in nuclear materials and propulsion, building nuclear materials labs at NASA Marshall, and later leading AM efforts for liquid rocket engines and refractory metals.  He explains how AM accelerates iteration, enables complex geometries, part consolidation, and weight reduction, and where traditional methods still dominate depending on production rate. The conversation covers refractory metal challenges (supply chain, oxygen sensitivity, post-processing, inspection) and nuclear reactor basics, generations, and regulatory barriers to AM adoption. Omar outlines Space Nukes' goal of delivering safe, affordable, reliable power anywhere in the solar system, noting heat rejection as a key space constraint, Krusty's 2018 test heritage, potential AM roles in heat exchangers, and an aggressive ~2-year flight timeline depending on regulation and mission. 02:26 Omar Early Motivation 03:08 NASA Co-ops and First AM 07:59 Stirling Radiation Research 20:07 Refractory Metals AM Lab 21:31 Los Alamos to Space Nukes 25:14 Did AM Change Space Race 31:46 Where AM Flies Today 37:41 Rocket Engines Print vs Traditional 41:15 Refractory Alloys Challenges 46:39 Where Refractories Make Sense 47:05 Will Refractory AM Grow 49:39 NASA Metal AM Handbook Origins 56:37 How Nuclear Reactors Work 01:13:02 Additive Manufacturing in Nuclear 01:18:31 What Space Nukes Builds 01:19:36 Why Space Nuclear Power Matters 01:25:20 Why Space Needs Nukes 01:37:47 Krusty Test Proof 01:41:18 Heat Rejection Challenge 01:49:25 Timeline and First Missions

Episode 303: On this week's episode, a creative AI that can build a whole world from a few sentences, sounds fun until you watch it keep continuity, remember past choices, and generate game-like logic on the fly. We kick things off with Fable 5 inside Claude AI, a model built for structured world-building that goes way beyond a typical writing assistant. We break down a facial recognition wrongful arrest that started with grainy screenshots and ended with an innocent man spending a night in jail, plus the bigger pattern of bias and bad safeguards. If a “93% match” can outweigh phone records, work records, and common sense, what's the standard for proof supposed to be?We also cover Waymo Premiere and what subscription robotaxis say about where autonomous vehicles are headed, plus a rapid-fire run through scam emails that try to steal your identity with fake Prime suspension notices and “free groceries for a year” bait. And yes, we had to talk about the viral AI Costco lazy river image that fooled millions, because it's the perfect lesson in how believable fake content has become. We wrap with a safety warning on carbon fiber 3D printing microfibers, then Nathan unloads on Prime Day, before we give our final thumbs up or thumbs down on Cotswolds Signature Single Malt all coming up on TechTime Radio, with a little whiskey on the side.-- Full Episode Details:A brand-new AI model claims it can do more than write. It can remember, reason, and build entire worlds that stay consistent over time and after testing it, we have a lot to say. We walk through Fable 5 on Claude AI, why persistent story worlds and long-term memory change the game for writers and game developers, and why “creative reasoning engines” are about to reshape how we make interactive experiences.Then the tone shifts hard as we cover a real facial recognition failure that led to a wrongful arrest. We unpack how a blurry screenshot, an overconfident match score, and sloppy police work can spiral into jail time, legal chaos, and lasting trauma. We also talk plainly about algorithmic bias, why these tools keep failing Black Americans at higher rates, and what safeguards should exist before software gets treated like a magic truth machine.From there, we hit the consumer side of emerging tech: Waymo's new Premiere subscription, robotaxi expansion, and the marketing push that makes self-driving sound like just another rewards program. We also read scam and spam emails that prey on urgency, including “Prime membership suspended” phishing and fake “Meta Verified” pitches, plus a quick reality check on viral AI-generated product hoaxes like the so-called 200-foot Costco lazy river. We wrap with a practical tech warning about carbon fiber 3D printing safety and a no-filter rant on Prime Day turning into a never-ending sales calendar.Subscribe for weekly technology news with a sense of humor, share this with a friend who clicks the wrong links, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

The state of New York doesn't lock people in cages to keep the public safe; they do it to violently enforce their monopoly on power. If you are an actual violent criminal, the judicial system will actively look for ways to put you back on the street. But if you are a peaceful software engineer who decides to exercise your inherent right to self-defense by building a piece of metal in your own home, they will raid your house and bury you. This week, we hand about of a different flow for the podcast as TFTP co-founder Jason Bassler sat down with Dexter Taylor to discuss his draconian 10-year prison sentence for the completely victimless act of being self-sufficient. Jason managed to secure a 45-minute call with Dexter directly from inside his upstate New York prison cell. Because Dexter is currently held captive by the state's prison-industrial complex, the audio carries the unmistakable, dystopian interruptions of a Securus jail phone line. It is a bit rough around the edges, but his message cuts through the static and is absolutely essential listening. During the conversation, Dexter systematically dismantles the corporate media's propaganda campaign against so-called "ghost guns" and exposes the establishment's terrifying pivot toward criminalizing the literal tools of creation. They discuss his active appellate battle against a state court system that has openly admitted it does not care about the Second Amendment. Dexter also details the profound mental discipline it takes to survive a political persecution without letting the system break your spirit. He offers a harsh reality check to anyone in the liberty movement who thinks they can simply outrun authoritarianism by fleeing to a different zip code. Tyranny is a maximalist endeavor, and Dexter's unyielding defiance is a blueprint for how peaceful people must stand their ground against an overreaching state. The political class wants his name forgotten and his life ruined to set an example, which is exactly why we refuse to stop talking about him.

Hello voices from the bench community, John Wilson here and I wanted to share some news about the evolution of the Programill lineup. Most importantly, Ivoclar's new PrograMill 7. What stands out right away is the reduced air consumption this mill requires, but what you'll notice first is that impressive new touchscreen. For us, the biggest advantage has been increased spindle power. Next time you see your Ivoclar representative, be sure to ask about the PrograMill 7 and tell them John Wilson sent you. Thank you. At exocad Insights in beautiful Mallorca, we finally caught up with Felix from Imagine USA—and the timing couldn't have been better. As an exocad dealer on the front lines of digital dentistry, Felix shared his excitement about the strong turnout, the familiar faces, and most importantly, the innovation coming from exocad. What stood out most? The new exocad Hub and its cloud-based capabilities, along with powerful AI-driven tools inside DentalDB designed for efficient batch processing. For Felix and the Imagine team, it's not just about seeing what's new—it's about putting it to the test. By running new features through their own production facility first, they ensure real-world performance before bringing solutions to their customers. Fresh off the beaches and lectures of the beautiful island of Mallorca at the exocad Insights 2026 , Elvis and Barb sat down with three incredible women proving that digital dentistry is global, creative, and fueled by passion. First up is Andreea Bordea, a ceramist and lab owner originally from Romania who found her way into dental technology after narrowly missing acceptance into dental school. From analog waxing and staining zirconia with a single A2 shade to opening her own lab in Spain and building a digital workflow around exocad, Andreea shares the journey of learning everything the hard way. She talks about teaching herself digital dentistry, building a team, and how social media unexpectedly became her outlet while working alone in her lab. The conversation also dives into Ivoclar materials, zirconia, and the excitement around new products launched at Insights. Then the microphones turn to Denisse Ramos from for one of the most energetic conversations of the event. Denisse talks about her journey from Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Coca-Cola into the dental industry, eventually becoming a major force in digital workflows, 3D printing, and equipment sales. From Dentsply to Desktop Health and now leading sales at New Stetic USA, Denisse shares stories about mentorship, industry evolution, women in dentistry, and why labs need to charge for their expertise. We all talk about the rise of digital dentistry, treatment planning frustrations, social media, the future of dentures, and the importance of giving back through organizations like Ladies of the Mill and the NADL. Finally, Elvis met Daniela Torres, better known online as “Danny Designer,” a digital designer from Chile whose Instagram portfolio turned into a thriving business. Daniela explains how she taught herself exocad through YouTube before traveling to Madrid for advanced training, eventually working at the MOD Institute in South Carolina before returning to Chile to build her own remote design business. From designing full arch restorations and dentures to handling dozens of cases a day entirely through email and WhatsApp, Daniela proves how powerful digital dentistry and social media have become for technicians worldwide. The conversation wraps with excitement around exocad's newest updates, the exocad Hub, and what it means to be recognized as an exocad Hero.Special Guests: Andreea Bordea, Daniela Torres, and Denisse Lasso Ramos.

Welcome to Printing Money Episode 39, (or, “The one where they all went to market”). It's that quarterly time, so Troy Jensen (Managing Director, Cantor Fitzgerald) joins Danny for a review and analysis of the Q1 2026 public 3DP/AM company earnings. Episode 39 opens with a nod to the recent spate of positive financings and M&A outcomes for 3DP/AM companies. Danny and Troy review the reasons for this, but they are sure to curb their enthusiasm as a mega-IPO cycle is imminent which could dry up liquidity for smaller players such as…all 3DP/AM companies! Next, to the heart of things. Danny and Troy analyze the Q1 2026 reports for Stratasys (SSYS), 3D Systems (DDD), Velo3D (VELO), Materialise (MTLS), Xometry (XMTR) and Protolabs (PRLB). Included in the analysis is coverage of many of these firms' significant financings or transactions. Tune in for analysis of Stratasys' Markforged acquisition, 3D Systems' cash raise, Velo's cash raise, Xometry's cash raise, Materialise's stock buyback,  and more. The public markets 3DP/AM players are in a better place, with stronger balance sheets and increased optionality.

Hello voices from the bench community, John Wilson here and I wanted to share some news about the evolution of the Programill lineup. Most importantly, Ivoclar's new PrograMill 7. What stands out right away is the reduced air consumption this mill requires, but what you'll notice first is that impressive new touchscreen. For us, the biggest advantage has been increased spindle power. My laboratory's known for these larger cases with complex geometries, and I can tell you that extra power really makes a difference. Next time you see your Ivoclar representative, be sure to ask about the PrograMill 7 and tell them John Wilson sent you. Thank you. At exocad Insights in beautiful Mallorca, we finally caught up with Felix from Imagine USA—and the timing couldn't have been better. As an exocad dealer on the front lines of digital dentistry, Felix shared his excitement about the strong turnout, the familiar faces, and most importantly, the innovation coming from exocad. What stood out most? The new exocad Hub and its cloud-based capabilities, along with powerful AI-driven tools inside DentalDB designed for efficient batch processing. For Felix and the Imagine team, it's not just about seeing what's new—it's about putting it to the test. By running new features through their own production facility first, they ensure real-world performance before bringing solutions to their customers. Beyond the technology, Felix emphasized the value of being there in person—connecting face-to-face with partners, having meaningful conversations, and stepping back to see where the industry is headed. And of course, doing it all in Mallorca doesn't hurt either. Mallorca, Spain. exocad Insights 2026 Three completely different conversations somehow all landed on the same theme: digital dentistry keeps getting smaller, smarter, and way more connected. First up, the crew catches back up with digital designer and educator Marjorie de Andrade, who went from Brazil to New Zealand chasing opportunity, only to end up building a global career through remote design, social media, and education. Marjorie talks about creating the Mastering exocad course, freelancing for dentists around the world, and why finding purpose through teaching became more important than simply designing crowns. She also shares thoughts on the newly announced exocad Hub, remote collaboration, and how digital dentistry is making communication between dentists and technicians easier than ever. Then the microphones turn to Dr. Dwight Pate for one of the most workflow-heavy conversations the podcast has ever had. From hand waxing cases the old-school Dawson and Pankey way to designing provisionals and controlling full-mouth rehabs completely through exocad, Dr. Pate breaks down how he combines analog principles with digital workflows. The discussion dives deep into occlusion, provisionals, articulators, guided workflows, AI design, and why he believes digital dentistry still has to prove itself back in the analog world before it ever reaches the patient's mouth. Finally, the crew reconnects with Dr. Eimear O'Connell to talk about why clinicians need to attend events like Insights just as much as technicians. Eimear shares how digital workflows are improving communication between doctors, labs, and patients while making implant planning, dentures, and aesthetic dentistry more predictable than ever. From digital dentures that fit with almost zero adjustment to helping patients emotionally reconnect with their smiles, the conversation reminds everyone that behind every scanner, workflow, and software update is still a real person whose life changes because of dentistry.Special Guests: Dr. Dwight Pate, Dr. Eimear O'Connell, and Marjorie de Andrade .

Dr. Gerardo Martinez is a returning guest on the show. We met up at AAPD and decided to record a podcast after flying home. We begin the conversation around changes in behavior management, and why it's ok for kids to cry at the dentist. The key is parent expectation and good communication.Dr. Martinez is also a visionary and advocate for 3D printing in pediatric dentistry. He has spent the last 5 years learning to incorporate scanning and 3D printing crowns, veneers, aligners, and appliances into his pediatric practice. We talk about first steps a practitioner can take to get started. Dr. Martinez is also hosting a CE event in Los Cabos from July 23-26. "The One Summit" has 28 CE credits with a central theme of airway, ortho, and 3D workflows. This would be a great way to get some CE this summer along with time on the beach. Even though it's a bit last minute, you can use code BTT to get $500 off registration and lodging.

This week at the Dental Laboratory Association of Texas Meeting 2026, the microphones stayed hot as three completely different conversations all circled around the same thing: how fast the dental lab industry is evolving. First up, the crew sat down with Tony Aliatim from Axis Dental Milling to talk about going from biomedical engineering and printing silicone heart models for surgeons… to becoming one of the go-to names in dental milling. From industrial machining roots in Michigan to AI-powered calibration systems and Straumann plug-and-play workflows, Tony breaks down how VersaMill machines are helping labs mill everything from zirconia to implant abutments faster, smarter, and safer. Along the way, the conversation dives into HyperDent, trade show madness, wet vs dry milling nightmares, and why dental technicians may not realize how close this industry really is to aerospace-level manufacturing. Then things shifted from mills to maintenance with Rebekah Serrago and Chris Wilson from Garland Dental Services. What started decades ago as a garage-based repair business fixing handpieces has grown into one of the industry's best-kept secrets for equipment sales, service, and support. Rebekah shares the story of growing up folding flyers for her father's repair company before eventually becoming CEO and expanding Garland into a massive online sales and service operation supporting everything from ovens to mills. Chris joins in to talk preventative maintenance, service certifications, keeping ancient ovens alive, and why labs desperately need dealers that actually understand the equipment they sell. It's equal parts family-business story, repair shop wisdom, and hilarious behind-the-scenes dental lab banter. Finally, the future officially arrived when the podcast crew sat down with Antoine Coppens from Relu and orthodontic lab owner Christian Saurman of New England Orthodontic Laboratory. What started as four engineering students experimenting with AI in Belgium somehow turned into fully automated dental workflows capable of designing surgical guides, night guards, models, and restorations in minutes. The conversation explores how AI is reshaping lab workflows, reducing manual design time, integrating directly into LMS systems, and even learning individual lab preferences. Christian explains how his custom-built orthodontic lab management system helped eliminate workflow chaos and automate huge portions of production, while Antoine gives a fascinating look into where dental AI is headed next. Between AI-generated appliances, automated scan checks, and self-learning workflows, this episode feels less like science fiction and more like a preview of what labs will look like over the next five years.Special Guests: Antoine Coppens, Chris Wilson, Christian Saurman, Rebekah Serrago, and Tony Aliatim.
