Printing Money is back with Episode 29. Alex Kingsbury (Product Line Manager – AM, nLIGHT) is back. Need we say more to convince you to listen? Either way, we'll say a little more. Episode 29 marks the first recording where Danny and Alex were in the same room. No promises, but maybe we'll add a video element one of these days. Themes from this episode include metal powders transactions, Los Angeles, Hamburg, Australia (not even including Alex's obvious Australian connection), and AM adjacent deals, and a number of follow-on rounds the companies of which we've been tracking on Printing Money for some time now. And yes, we devote some coverage to Nano Dimension! There are, as always, some very memorable lines sprinkled amongst (and very much part of) the fount of knowledge and insight that Danny and Alex offer. Please enjoy Episode 29 and check out our previous episodes too. This episode was recorded May 14, 2025.

Welcome to Episode 28 of Printing Money. For this one Danny is joined by our own, Joris Peels (Executive Editor, 3DPrint.com). This crossover-pod is indeed quite meta-level but it's not entirely new – some months ago Danny appeared on Joris' own podcast, the 3DPOD. We encourage you to listen to that episode as well. Episode 28 begins with an introduction to Joris, and a look at his nearly two decades in 3D printing. From Philips to Shapeways, to Materialise and Formlabs, and consulting across the industry, Joris has some reach, to say the least. Next, Danny and Joris review RAPID, the largest 3DP/AM event in the USA, which took place earlier this month in Detroit. The cautiously optimistic tone that has been 2025 was decidedly in force at RAPID, and oh by-the-way there was a noticeable presence from the Chinese brands, tariffs or not. From RAPID the conversation shifts to geopolitics, the regulatory environment, and yes, tariffs. Amongst the analysis are some great quotables to look for, including “Manufacturing itself is a weapons system,” and “Uncertainty is the new normal,” all amidst a whole lot of 3DP/AM industry food for thought. And all that is only the first half. In the second half of the episode, Danny and Joris dive into Printing Money's raison d'etre - deals and analysis! Specifically, this episode focuses on recent M&A, including coverage of the Nano Dimension-Desktop Metal-Markforged tie-up, BICO's new direction under Maria Forss, Fictiv's eye-catching acquisition by Misumi, and the trend of traditional Japanese manufacturers embracing 3DP/AM.

Welcome to 2025, and welcome to Printing Money Episode 25! For this episode Danny welcomes back a couple of previous guests: Arno Held (AM Ventures) and startup advisor Tali Rosman. It's a new year so, naturally, this episode has its share of reflecting on the 2024 that was and the 2025 (and beyond) that will be. Danny, Arno, and Tali start off by harkening back one last time to Formnext – what is traditionally the end of the 3D printing year turned out only to be a prelude to a whole lot of industry-shifting news in December. So yes, Danny, Arno and Tali discuss Shapeways' rebirth, Forward AM's insolvency, Velo's restructuring, voxeljet's go-private. And this is all really interesting, but it's only the appetizer. Next, Episode 25 wades into the deep end, analyzing and opining on the goings-on with Nano Dimension. Will the acquisitions of Desktop Metal and Markforged happen? Will the shareholder activists force the company to unwind? And what's this about tin foil hats and Russian oligarchs? After the Nano Dimension discussion, Episode 25 moves on to review some of 2024's venture capital raises, including a few recent ones. Then, Danny, Arno and Tali consider the current artificial intelligence (AI) revolution and how it might dovetail with what's to come for additive manufacturing (AM) this year and further into the future. Please enjoy Episode 25, and please join Danny, Arno, Tali, and your other favorite Printing Money personalities at AM Strategies next month, Feb 4-6 in New York City.

Additive manufacturing and robots are parallel technologies, both digitally enabled tools for manufacturing that are advancing in adoption. But they also enable each other. 3D printing can provide the grippers, end effectors and other specialized tooling that robots require to serve production. And robots are driving AM forward as well. Collaborative robots or cobots are being used to tend 3D printer farms, sometimes mounted on autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) for a fully mobile, as well as automated, solution. And robots are opening opportunities for larger and more complex part production, by providing the motion for a growing number of large format additive manufacturing (LFAM) systems. In this episode of AM Radio, Gardner Business Media Robots & Autonomy editor Julia Hider joins Stephanie Hendrixson and Pete Zelinski to discuss how AM and robots interact, and specific examples of this interaction.

We are back with Episode 19 of Printing Money. The world does not stop turning. One not-so-profound reminder of that is the quarterly earnings reports of publicly traded companies. It never ends, and we are always there to cover this aspect of the 3D printing world. Last episode, we zoomed out to talk about policies which shape the additive manufacturing (AM) industry. For Episode 19 we are zooming back in, welcoming back Wall Street analyst Troy Jensen (Cantor Fitzgerald) and looking at the Q1 2024 earnings reports of the variously publicly traded 3D printing companies. Unfortunately, there were a few negative themes including reverse stock splits, missed earnings reports, and negative enterprise values. But we also touch on positive trends for some with increasing gross margins, materials consumption, and healthy cash positions. Please enjoy Episode 19 and stay tuned for future shows. See you at RAPID!

On this episode of our Innovators on Innovators series, we're joined by Doug Kenik, the Director of Software Product Management at Markforged, and Paul Heiden, the Chief Product Officer at Bynder. The pair worked closely together when Kenik was heading up Teton Simulation, and Paul was among the leadership at Ultimaker. Prior to Markforged's acquisition of Teton, Ultimaker was among the first to partner with the software company, incorporating a Smart Slice plug-in into the Cura platform. With both now in new roles, they reconvened to discuss software and data, and their emerging roles in additive manufacturing. During this conversation, Kenik and Heiden share their thoughts on the thinking behind open and closed software platforms, the ability of software to reduce product iterations, how 3D printing will still surprise us, and much more.

Additive manufacturing is a dynamic space for various reasons: The technology is advancing and application possibilities are still being developed, and as a direct consequence, the landscape of AM companies is subject to change due to investor moves; mergers and acquisitions; and startups emerging from “stealth mode.” On this podcast, and in related reporting for Additive Manufacturing Media, we serve manufacturers by covering AM technology and applications — the corporate and financial moves are not the focus. And yet, one realm affects the other. The company moves shape what we cover and affect the choices of manufacturers as they aim to proceed with the technology. In this episode of AM Radio, Peter Zelinski and Stephanie Hendrixson talk about this. They discuss how the corporate and financial developments among AM companies play out for AM users, and where the dynamism of the additive space is likely to lead in the future. This episode of AM Radio is brought to you by Formnext Forum: Austin.

In August, the Engineering Technology Group or ETG acquired HK Technologies. Group Managing Director Martin Doyle immediately installed Gareth Jones as the new Managing Director to head up HK Technologies. The astute move to bring the Warwickshire-based business under the ETG umbrella will create countless synergies and opportunities for both companies. MTD magazine attended the recent ETG Open House to speak to Gareth Jones to get a better understanding about what the marketplace can expect. For those that may not know, the seven principals of HK Technologies are Mitsubishi EDM, MarkForged, 3D Systems, Balance Systems, Thielenhaus, OPS Ingersoll and Kapp Niles. Some of these brands may not be household names with UK manufacturers and this is a point that the new MD is aiming to get across. So, what are the target markets that will create a synergy with the ETG brands? The 3D Systems portfolio is primarily 3D printing in the prototyping arena and HK will have the injection moulding market as its target audience. This contrast with the MarkForged brand, which has the cost effective MetalX metal printing machine among others in the range – offering endless potential. The Thielenhaus portfolio comprises machine tools, attachment devices, tools, processes and technologies for the Micro finish/Super finish precision machining of work pieces and OPS Ingersoll is a manufacturer of EDM and high-speed machining centres. Kapp Niles is a world leader in the niche segment of profile grinding and gear processing machines and Mitsubishi EDM is well known as an industry innovator in the EDM market. Rounding-off the portfolio of HK Technologies products is the Balance Systems brand of manual, semi-automatic and automatic balancing machines. This measures the unbalance of rotating parts and corrects accordingly. We put a few questions to Gareth Jones, to find out a bit more about him and what lies ahead for HK Technologies… We began by asking, what was the driving factor that persuaded him to leave Academia for Industry after 11 years – and what have been the differences? Jones says “I had been at In-Comm Training for 11 years and, in that time, I worked my way up from being a trainer and assessor in Management and Health and Safety to joint Managing Director with my sister Bekki Phillips. From my first day there, I was thrown into a large engineering company making parts for nuclear energy plants in Birmingham and, from that day, I fell in love with engineering and manufacturing. I have a passion to grow the sector as a whole and a real desire to unlock the potential of the underdog, like the S-M-E market for example. “I want to help them muster the strength to grow, be sustainable and develop bigger business and that is what has driven me on for the last 11 years. At In-Comm, I had amazing people, programmes and relationships with industry, but, at first, we didn’t have facilities that could deliver the depth of training and courses we wanted to. During my time as joint Managing Director, we developed a unique model where we created industry-leading training facilities with state-of-the-art equipment for learners to grasp next generation technology and give them a grounding for a life in engineering. The Marches Centre of Manufacturing & Technology or M-C-M-T in Bridgnorth and Shrewsbury are two best-in-class examples.” So how has Gareth spent his first two months at HK? “I certainly think that HK is a sleeping giant in the industry and there is huge potential to really shout about the manufacturing technologies and support we can provide. With this in mind, we have been re-structuring the business, re-writing job roles and identifying gaps where we need additional skills. We have already rebranded, written a new marketing strategy and are currently working on a 5-year business strategy that will deliver an increase in sales. We want the strategy to be aligned to the market offering of each of the seven principal companies. I’ve already met each of them individually and started to get to know their businesses and what differentiates our partnerships from the competition. “We have taken the immediate step of moving our operation to E-T-G’s HQ in Wellesbourne to maximise efficiencies and to create a dedicated showroom for some of our products. The laser marking section has over 300 machines out in the field and also delivers a subcon service which is going to move over to Hyfore. We are also going to research the opportunities to bring back lasers as a product offering in the UK. Gareth then went on to explain what he'd elarnt from academia that could be implemented in industry to benefit HK Technologies and E-T-G? “First off, the importance of intellectual property and the skill base of the organisation. It’s fair to say that HK staff have a lot of competences. We have some staff that are like ‘Jedi’s’ in their field; this is both a benefit and a risk to the business. We need to be backing these ‘Jedi’s’ up by educating other members of staff, allowing us to grow from a firm foundation. A lot of other things we can implement revolves around quality systems and processes. “Also, from my previous life, I want to get exposure for all product ranges. This includes getting to discuss opportunities with O-E-Ms and Tier 1 suppliers right down to the very small businesses. I have a very healthy network and I want to expose them to the opportunities we have via the HK and ETG brands. It’s often about identifying where the synergies lie between the two companies and the potential benefits of working together.” We then asked him, how as the new MD of HK Technologies, he will be working to integrate HK into the E-T-G structure and create synergies between the two brands? “Previously at HK, the push was primarily on the additive manufacturing arena. HK Technologies offers so much more. Staff here are quickly realising that I have no allegiance to one brand or department in the business and we have to be proactive to make every brand a success. We are working on an ‘all-inclusive’ strategy that targets the promotion of all brands and this will integrate with the E-T-G portfolio, the E-T-G staff and its business strategy. This integration will be streamlined by realising where and how we can work together.” Gareth then went on to explain what he sees as the opportunities for each of the HK Technology brands by being under the ETG banner. “Within our organisation, we have to service customers with world class application engineers, world class sales engineers and engineering applications. The key growth area is to create opportunities, and this starts with service and servicing existing customers even better. It was quickly recognised that HK and E-T-G are culturally aligned; we want the best experience for our customers through building close and long lasting relationships delivering excellence. We also want to exploit the true turnkey solutions that HK and E-T-G are offering. One example is a company that has purchased a new Naka-mura MX-100 could use HK’s 3D printing technology to develop jaws, vices and workholding very quickly, easily reducing both costs and lead times in the process. “The other point is market awareness and branding. The HK brand needs to be at the forefront and known for its strength and quality. So, internally we are restructuring, as externally, the market doesn’t necessarily know that much about HK Technologies and what we can do. There are a raft of opportunities and if you look at our principals, we have almost as many as E-T-G. “However, these names haven’t been exposed to the UK market. That is a huge opportunity in itself. There is also some integration work to be done with CRM, operations, strategic systems and this will also create further opportunities and exposure for all brands. “We have already held internal product awareness days, exposing all staff to our brands. This has really helped to cross fertilise the knowledge of what we can offer between both companies. We want to ensure that all representatives of both organisations are able to identify opportunities to work with our customers and refer the project to the right business unit with the right expertise.” We challenged Gareth over the fact that 3D printing, which is till considered in its relative infancy, is in a very competitive market in the UK. We asked where he sees the growth potential of the HK Technologies products to achieve sales growth? “I personally feel that industrial 3D printing has initially taken a hit because when it first arrived, it was all about being a domestic product you can have at home. That hasn’t happened and it has knocked its credibility in a production environment. With the two O-E-Ms we work with which are MarkForged and 3D Systems, these are production pieces of kit that are perfect for industry. There is huge potential for turnkey solutions, combining the respective strengths of E-T-G and HK Technologies. This is all about real, live engineering projects that we can work on. “3D Printing is all about applications. It’s not a mature market and that’s why it’s competitive at the moment and hence why there needs to be a lot of R&D work to tap into the potential for all of these applications to be realised. “What we have to do is take one niche application and drive targeted marketing and sales activities against that niche before developing others. So, MarkForged is definitely a potential collaborator with E-T-G and Hyfore. This fits perfectly with jigs, fixtures, soft jaws, robotic grippers and bespoke workholding solutions and this will be our first point of attack. We are already working on a live project with Hyfore to reduce workholding costs and efficiencies for one of its closest client partners. “We are already developing our internal applications person and we are about to employ another,. They need to work with other industry sectors to develop new niches for us to attack from a sales and marketing point of view. “The MarkForged machines have excellent material selection and processing times. The price point is also a major plus point as we can supply a metal additive machine for something in the region of a quarter of our competitor’s price. Additionally, the MarkForged machines are desktop machines with a very small footprint, so there are huge opportunities for this brand. “MarkForged also has impressive new software whereby you can input your CAD file and the software will calculate your return on investment. It will look at how much material you would use to make the product or a quantity of parts, and how quickly you can make them and what your payback period is. So, in terms of ROI we can offer clarity at the start of the process. “In terms of the Figure 4 machine from 3D Systems, that is all about speed. Ideal for rapid prototyping, the standalone machine is a production machine, which is perfect for injection moulding companies. It’s called a modular unit because it can stand alone, but you can also bolt-on additional units to run batches of parts. “For the injection mould market, this machine is perfect. You can have it running-off parts while your injection mould tools are being manufactured or while the process is being set up. Additionally, if you have parts lost in transit, missing or damaged, you can rapidly run-off extra parts on the Figure 4 rather than going through the long process of resetting your injection mould operation.” Next we asked What he sees as the obstacles to growth in the 3D print market and how will he overcome these obstacles to achieve growth? “One of the main obstacles is getting people to engage with the technology. That is all about education. People are either not aware of the capabilities or, despite the technology being around for over 30 years, there still isn’t widespread awareness and trust in it. Engineers have worked with C-N-C technologies and trust it implicitly, but 3D printing is still a relatively unknown quantity to a lot of manufacturers,. I feel that is the biggest barrier we have to break down – it’s just a lack of education. One of our key strategies is to make sure we integrate our marketing strategies from an educational point of view. We either want engineers to come and try out and test the additive kit or we’ll take it to them. This is where our application engineers have to be really strong and talented, to drive education and adoption. “We’ll be having demo days, writing white papers, e-shots and even training people on the kit to demonstrate how easy it is to use. Another barrier is the fact that people have bought 3D machines in the past and don’t use them. That isn’t developing anyone’s products or services and we have to create a relationship with the customer and carry them through the process. This is from initial enquiry and machine selection to developing the skill set and supporting them to maximise the utilisation and potential of additive technology.” Finally we asked Gareth what can we expect to see from HK in the next 6-12 months? “This will all be about integration and the ramping up of intellectual competency in terms of education and service. The market will start to see a brand developing and we intend to get out there in the marketplace and make sure that the sectors who could really benefit from our offerings understand where we fit within their businesses. “This company is certainly a ‘sleeping giant’ and, whilst it may sound a bit cheesy, it’s like a phoenix rising. We are coming into the market; we’re going to push aggressively and I’m really looking forward to the challenge ahead. “It’s going to be a fast pace of change for the business and we are already seeing the character of the staff and how they are thriving with the challenge. Come January 2020, I want all the structures in place to really drive the business forward.”

North America's biggest additive manufacturing event, RAPID + TCT landed in Detroit last week, bringing over 400 exhibiting companies together to showcase the latest and greatest in 3D technologies. The TCT team was there to get the latest updates first-hand with plenty more interviews and insight to come over the following weeks and in our annual RAPID + TCT Review. Here, we roundup some of the biggest news and debuts from Origin, Formalloy, Rapidia, nTopology, Markforged and more.
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.
This week's M4Edge is solely a Ricky's Reports episode. Ricky talks about how his idea continues to evolve, and we discuss whether forcing startups to chase the $Billion dollar idea is a barrier to entry.Stay tuned: Marco and I are preparing a mini series on Additive Manufacturing, also known as 3D Printing. We have a great line up for you, including guests from Essentium, Impossible Objects, MELD Manufacturing and MarkForged, as well as 3DHubs, a Manufacturing as a Service company based in Europe.

WTFFF?! 3D Printing Podcast Volume Three: 3D Print Tips | 3D Print Tools | 3D Start Point
“What does it going to take for 3D printing to top and be more wisely adopted by manufacturers of products to become a more integrated and integral part of manufacturing around the world?” This is the question that Tom was inspired to answer while watching an interview of the CEO of MarkForged, Greg Mark. Struck by his answer that points to the role of engineers, Tom goes and gives his take on how these engineers will be the path to the 3D Print tipping point. He touches on the aspects of manufacturing, prototyping, and the demands of the consumer market to point out other factors that could push the industry besides engineering.
WTFFF?! 3D Printing Podcast Volume Three: 3D Print Tips | 3D Print Tools | 3D Start Point
Technologies have truly evolved that something as expensive as a metal 3D printing machine can now be offered as a desktop metal 3D printing machine and be accessible to a number of audience with the help of media. However, this could lead to many people think of the industry lightly. Tom goes deep into the processes of two companies, Desktop Metal and MarkForged. He highlights their similarities as well as dissimilarities in order to compare and contrast which one is more admirable. Talking also of the media published of the machines produced, he points out the tendency to gloss over the quality. Going back to Desktop Metal, he shares his words and review on whether it is a breakthrough in the metal 3D printing industry or not.
Markforged has played a role in advancing the art and science of additive manufacturing. They have helped companies make great strides in getting the best results out of their 3D printing operations. Now, the company is helping manufacturers that are not involved in 3D printing to identify the opportunities where 3D printing could be used to make stronger products, manufacture them at less cost, and ship those products faster. In this sponsored podcast, Manufacturing Engineering Editor Emeritus Jim Sawyer interviews Applications Engineer Nick Sondej to learn how Markforged makes this happen.
Nick Sondej, application engineer of Markforged, talks with Candace Roulo, managing editor of Manufacturing Engineering magazine, about the company’s carbon fiber and metal 3D printing for strength, performance, and accuracy. Learn about how businesses in a variety of different industries, such as aerospace, robotics, and consumer electronics, are using Markforged technology to innovate faster at a lower cost. Markforged is based in Cambridge, MA, and its team of engineers, designers and industry veterans live the company’s mission of focusing on engineering, design, quality of parts, and software innovation.
Greg Mark, founder and CEO of Markforged, discusses his journey of working with composites in additive manufacturing.
