Podcasts about Ultimaker

This Episodes Questions:  I want to make this printer as safe as possible but it will require a lot of power.  AC powered heat beds are getting more and more common but every video I watch on the topic makes a point to talk about SSRs failing with the power on (closed circuit?) even when talking about high quality and over-spec SSRs.  A thermal fuse will prevent a melted bed but then I still have a potentially dangerous situation with 120v AC power.  I am very well aware of the recent A1 recall and don't want to turn this into a bambu discussion.  I think we can all agree they shouldn't have put an AC powered heater on a bed slinger and call it a day  Peter    .STL files are ubiquitous, but are there better alternatives such as .3MF? What are the pros and cons of different file formats? Also, do you have any recommendations for export settings when exporting a 3D file from a CAD program. Thanks! Austin Hi Guys, I enjoy listening to your show here in the UK in my workshop. 3D printing started as a much loved hobby and has now turned into a big part of my small business 3d printing light fittings. Anyway, I'm currently running a bunch of Ultimaker 2's and looking to to upgrade. I print pretty much everything with 1mm - 1.5mm walls and a 0.5mm layer height, lots of spiralize/vase mode. Id love to hear your opinions on which printers can print wide walls and big layer heights with good cooling to speed my production up. I found that the matchless nozzles from 3D solex helped btw. Its definitely time to ditch the old UM2's though (I'm not considering Ultimakers, they're now hugely overpriced IMHO). I'm not after huge build volume either. Bamboo is a no for me due to IP worries. Thanks and keep up the good work! Jamie Norris Green - Leeds - UK

John Kawola was one of the initial employees at Zcorp, a pioneering 3D printing company known for manufacturing color parts that was eventually acquired by 3D Systems. Subsequently, Kawola rejoined the 3D printing sector to lead Ultimaker's invasion into the US market. Not stopping there, he later assumed leadership at BMF, a company specializing in the production of micro-sized parts using digital light processing technology. BMF is carving out a niche for itself while also commercializing applications that utilize its innovative technology—a strategy that, in our opinion, should be more widely adopted.

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.

Lohnt sich der Ultimaker, Markforged, Raise3D, Bambulab, Hage3D, Prusa, … noch? Diese Frage bekomme ich bei der Auswahl zur richtigen Technologie oft gestellt. Meine Antwort zum ganzen Technologie-Wirrwarr gibt es in dieser 3D-Druck Podcast-Folge. Viel Spaß.

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.

One of the hardest parts of telling any history, is which innovations are significant enough to warrant mention. Too much, and the history is so vast that it can't be told. Too few, and it's incomplete. Arguably, no history is ever complete. Yet there's a critical path of innovation to get where we are today, and hundreds of smaller innovations that get missed along the way, or are out of scope for this exact story. Children have probably been placing sand into buckets to make sandcastles since the beginning of time. Bricks have survived from round 7500BC in modern-day Turkey where humans made molds to allow clay to dry and bake in the sun until it formed bricks. Bricks that could be stacked. And it wasn't long before molds were used for more. Now we can just print a mold on a 3d printer.   A mold is simply a block with a hollow cavity that allows putting some material in there. People then allow it to set and pull out a shape. Humanity has known how to do this for more than 6,000 years, initially with lost wax casting with statues surviving from the Indus Valley Civilization, stretching between parts of modern day Pakistan and India. That evolved to allow casting in gold and silver and copper and then flourished in the Bronze Age when stone molds were used to cast axes around 3,000 BCE. The Egyptians used plaster to cast molds of the heads of rulers. So molds and then casting were known throughout the time of the earliest written works and so the beginning of civilization. The next few thousand years saw humanity learn to pack more into those molds, to replace objects from nature with those we made synthetically, and ultimately molding and casting did its part on the path to industrialization. As we came out of the industrial revolution, the impact of all these technologies gave us more and more options both in terms of free time as humans to think as well as new modes of thinking. And so in 1868 John Wesley Hyatt invented injection molding, patenting the machine in 1872. And we were able to mass produce not just with metal and glass and clay but with synthetics. And more options came but that whole idea of a mold to avoid manual carving and be able to produce replicas stretched back far into the history of humanity. So here we are on the precipice of yet another world-changing technology becoming ubiquitous. And yet not. 3d printing still feels like a hobbyists journey rather than a mature technology like we see in science fiction shows like Star Trek with their replicators or printing a gun in the Netflix show Lost In Space. In fact the initial idea of 3d printing came from a story called Things Pass By written all the way back in 1945! I have a love-hate relationship with 3D printing. Some jobs just work out great. Others feel very much like personal computers in the hobbyist era - just hacking away until things work. It's usually my fault when things go awry. Just as it was when I wanted to print things out on the dot matrix printer on the Apple II. Maybe I fed the paper crooked or didn't check that there was ink first or sent the print job using the wrong driver. One of the many things that could go wrong.  But those fast prints don't match with the reality of leveling and cleaning nozzles and waiting for them to heat up and pulling filament out of weird places (how did it get there, exactly)! Or printing 10 add-ons for a printer to make it work the way it probably should have out of the box.  Another area where 3d printing is similar to the early days of the personal computer revolution is that there are a few different types of technology in use today. These include color-jet printing (CJP), direct metal printing (DMP), fused deposition modeling (FDM), Laser Additive Manufacturing (LAM, multi-jet printing (MJP), stereolithography (SLA), selective laser melting (SLM), and selective laser sintering (SLS). Each could be better for a given type of print job to be done. Some forms have flourished while others are either their infancy or have been abandoned like extinct languages. Language isolates are languages that don't fit into other families. Many are the last in a branch of a larger language family tree. Others come out of geographically isolated groups. Technology also has isolates. Konrad Zuse built computers in pre-World War II Germany and after that aren't considered to influence other computers. In other words, every technology seems to have a couple of false starts. Hideo Kodama filed the first patent to 3d print in 1980 - but his method of using UV lights to harden material doesn't get commercialized.  Another type of 3d printing includes printers that were inkjets that shot metal alloys onto surfaces. Inkjet printing was invented by Ichiro Endo at Canon in the 1950s, supposedly when he left a hot iron on a pen and ink bubbled out. Thus the “Bubble jet” printer. And Jon Vaught at HP was working on the same idea at about the same time. These were patented and used to print images from computers over the coming decades. Johannes Gottwald patented a printer like this in 1971. Experiments continued through the 1970s when companies like Exxon were trying to improve various prototyping processes. Some of their engineers joined an inventor Robert Howard in the early 1980s to found a company called Howtek and they produced the Pixelmaster, using hot-melt inks to increment the ink jet with solid inks, which then went on to be used by Sanders Prototype, which evolved into a company called Solidscape to market the Modelmaker. And some have been used to print solar cells, living cells, tissue, and even edible birthday cakes. That same technique is available with a number of different solutions but isn't the most widely marketable amongst the types of 3D printers available. SLA There's often a root from which most technology of the day is derived. Charles, or Chuck, Hull coined the term stereolithography, where he could lay down small layers of an object and then cure the object with UV light, much as the dentists do with fillings today. This is made possibly by photopolymers, or plastics that are easily cured by an ultraviolet light. He then invented the stereolithography apparatus, or SLA for short, a machine that printed from the bottom to the top by focusing a laser on photopolymer while in a liquid form to cure the plastic into place. He worked on it in 1983, filed the patent in 1984, and was granted the patent in 1986.  Hull also developed a file format for 3D printing called STL. STL files describe the surface of a three-dimensional object, geometrically using Cartesian coordinates. Describing coordinates and vectors means we can make objects bigger or smaller when we're ready to print them. 3D printers print using layers, or slices. Those can change based on the filament on the head of a modern printer, the size of the liquid being cured, and even the heat of a nozzle. So the STL file gets put into a slicer that then converts the coordinates on the outside to the polygons that are cured. These are polygons in layers, so they may appear striated rather than perfectly curved according to the size of the layers. However, more layers take more time and energy. Such is the evolution of 3D printing. Hull then founded a company called 3D Systems in Valencia California to take his innovation to market. They sold their first printer, the SLA-1 in 1988. New technologies start out big and expensive. And that was the case with 3D Systems. They initially sold to large engineering companies but when solid-state lasers came along in 1996 they were able to provide better systems for cheaper.  Languages also have other branches. Another branch in 3d printing came in 1987, just before the first SLA-1 was sold.  Carl Deckard  and his academic adviser Joe Beaman at the University of Texas worked on a DARPA grant to experiment with creating physical objects with lasers. They formed a company to take their solution to market called DTM and filed a patent for what they called selective laser sintering. This compacts and hardens a material with a heat source without having to liquify it. So a laser, guided by a computer, can move around a material and harden areas to produce a 3D model. Now in addition to SLA we had a second option, with the release of the Sinterstation 2500plus. Then 3D Systems then acquired DTM for $45 million in 2001. FDM After Hull published his findings for SLA and created the STL format, other standards we use today emerged. FDM is short for Fused Deposition Modeling and was created by Scott Crump in 1989. He then started a company with his wife Lisa to take the product to market, taking the company public in 1994. Crump's first patent expired in 2009.  In addition to FDM, there are other formats and techniques. AeroMat made the first 3D printer that could produce metal in 1997. These use a laser additive manufacturing process, where lasers fuse powdered titanium alloys. Some go the opposite direction and create out of bacteria or tissue. That began in 1999, when Wake Forest Institute of Regenerative medicine grew a 3D printed urinary bladder in a lab to be used as a transplant. We now call this bioprinting and can take tissue and lasers to rebuild damaged organs or even create a new organ. Organs are still in their infancy with success trials on smaller animals like rabbits. Another aspect is printing dinner using cell fibers from cows or other animals. There are a number of types of materials used in 3D printing. Most printers today use a continuous feed of one of these filaments, or small coiled fibers of thermoplastics that melt instead of burn when they're heated up. The most common in use today is PLA, or polylactic acid, is a plastic initially created by Wall Carothers of DuPont, the same person that brought us nylon, neoprene, and other plastic derivatives. It typically melts between 200 and 260 degrees Celsius. Printers can also take ABS filament, which is short for acrylonitrile-butadien-styerene. Other filament types include HIPS, PET, CPE, PVA, and their derivative forms.  Filament is fed into a heated extruder assembly that melts the plastic. Once melted, filament extrudes into place through a nozzle as a motor sends the nozzle on a x and y axis per layer.  Once a layer of plastic is finished being delivered to the areas required to make up the desired slice, the motor moves the extruder assembly up or down on a z axis between layers. Filament is just between 1.75 millimeters and 3 millimeters and comes in spools between half a kilogram and two kilograms. These thermoplastics cool very quickly. Once all of the slices are squirted into place, the print is removed from the bed and the nozzle cools off. Filament comes in a number of colors and styles. For example, wood fibers can be added to filament to get a wood-grained finish. Metal can be added to make prints appear metallic and be part metal.  Printing isn't foolproof, though. Filament often gets jammed or the spool gets stuck, usually when something goes wrong. Filament also needs to be stored in a temperature and moisture controlled location or it can cause jobs to fail. Sometimes the software used to slice the .stl file has an incorrect setting, like the wrong size of filament. But in general, 3D printing using the FDM format is pretty straight forward these days. Yet this is technology that should have moved faster in terms of adoption. The past 10 years have seen more progress than the previous ten though. Primarily due to the maker community. Enter the Makers The FDM patent expired in 2009. In 2005, a few years before the FDM patent expired, Dr. Adrian Bowyer started a project to bring inexpensive 3D printers to labs and homes around the world. That project evolved into what we now call the Replicating Rapid Prototyper, or RepRap for short.  RepRap evolved into an open source concept to create self-replicating 3D printers and by 2008, the Darwin printer was the first printer to use RepRap. As a community started to form, more collaborators designed more parts. Some were custom parts to improve the performance of the printer, or replicate the printer to become other printers. Others held the computing mechanisms in place. Some even wrote code to make the printer able to boot off a MicroSD card and then added a network interface so files could be uploaded to the printer wirelessly. There was a rising tide of printers. People were reading about what 3D printers were doing and wanted to get involved. There was also a movement in the maker space, so people wanted to make things themselves. There was a craft to it. Part of that was wanting to share. Whether that was at a maker space or share ideas and plans and code online. Like the RepRap team had done.  One of those maker spaces was NYC Resistor, founded in 2007. Bre Pettis, Adam Mayer, and Zach Smith from there took some of the work from the RepRap project and had ideas for a few new projects they'd like to start. The first was a site that Zach Smith created called Thingiverse. Bre Pettis joined in and they allowed users to upload .stl files and trade them. It's now the largest site for trading hundreds of thousands of designs to print about anything imaginable. Well, everything except guns. Then comes 2009. The patent for FDM expires and a number of companies respond by launching printers and services. Almost overnight the price for a 3D printer fell from $10,000 to $1,000 and continued to drop. Shapeways had created a company the year before to take files and print them for people. Pettis, Mayer, and Smith from NYC Resistor also founded a company called MakerBot Industries. They'd already made a little bit of a name for themselves with the Thingiverse site. They knew the mind of a maker. And so they decided to make a kit to sell to people that wanted to build their own printers. They sold 3,500 kits in the first couple of years. They had a good brand and knew the people who bought these kinds of devices. So they took venture funding to grow the company. So they raised $10M in funding in 2011 in a round led by the Foundry Group, along with Bezos, RRE, 500 Startups and a few others. They hired and grew fast. Smith left in 2012 and they were getting closer and closer with Stratasys, who if we remember were the original creators of FDM. So Stratasys ended up buying out the company in 2013 for $403M. Sales were disappointing so there was a changeup in leadership, with Pettis leaving and they've become much more about additive manufacturing than a company built to appeal to makers. And yet the opportunity to own that market is still there. This was also an era of Kickstarter campaigns. Plenty of 3D printing companies launched through kickstarter including some to take PLA (a biodegradable filament) and ABS materials to the next level. The ExtrusionBot, the MagicBox, the ProtoPlant, the Protopasta, Mixture, Plybot, Robo3D, Mantis, and so many more.  Meanwhile, 3D printing was in the news. 2011 saw the University of Southhampton design a 3d printed aircraft. Ecologic printing cars, and practically every other car company following suit that they were fabricating prototypes with 3d printers, even full cars that ran. Some on their own, some accidentally when parts are published in .stl files online violating various patents.  Ultimaker was another RepRap company that came out of the early Darwin reviews. Martijn Elserman, Erik de Bruin, and Siert Wijnia who couldn't get the Darwin to work so they designed a new printer and took it to market. After a few iterations, they came up with the Ultimaker 2 and have since been growing and releasing new printers  A few years later, a team of Chinese makers, Jack Chen, Huilin Liu, Jingke Tang, Danjun Ao, and Dr. Shengui Chen took the RepRap designs and started a company to manufacturing (Do It Yourself) kits called Creality. They have maintained the open source manifesto of 3D printing that they inherited from RepRap and developed version after version, even raising over $33M to develop the Ender6 on Kickstarter in 2018, then building a new factory and now have the capacity to ship well over half a million printers a year. The future of 3D Printing We can now buy 3D printing pens, over 170 3D Printer manufacturers including 3D systems, Stratasys, and Ceality but also down-market solutions like Fusion3, Formlabs, Desktop Metal, Prusa, and Voxel8. There's also a RecycleBot concept and additional patents expiring every year.  There is little doubt that at some point, instead of driving to Home Depot to get screws or basic parts, we'll print them. Need a new auger for the snow blower? Just print it. Cover on the weed eater break?  Print it. Need a dracolich mini for the next Dungeons and Dragons game? Print it. Need a new pinky toe. OK, maybe that's a bit far. Or is it? In 2015, Swedish Cellink releases bio-ink made from seaweed and algae, which could be used to print cartilage and later released the INKREDIBLE 3D printer for bio printing. The market in 2020 was valued at $13.78 billion with 2.1 million printers shipped. That's expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 21% for the next few years. But a lot of that is healthcare, automotive, aerospace, and prototyping still. Apple made the personal computer simple and elegant. But no Apple has emerged for 3D printing. Instead it still feels like the Apple II era, where there are 3D printers in a lot of schools and many offer classes on generating files and printing.  3D printers are certainly great for prototypers and additive manufacturing. They're great for hobbyists, which we call makers these days. But there will be a time when there is a printer in most homes, the way we have electricity, televisions, phones, and other critical technologies. But there are a few things that have to happen first, to make the printers easier to use. These include: Every printer needs to automatically level. This is one of the biggest reasons jobs fail and new users become frustrated. More consistent filament. Spools are still all just a little bit different. Printers need sensors in the extruder that detect if a job should be paused because the filament is jammed, humid, or caught. This adds the ability to potentially resume print jobs and waste less filament and time. Automated slicing in the printer microcode that senses the filament and slices. Better system boards (e.g. there's a tool called Klipper that moves the math from the system board on a Creality Ender 3 to a Raspberry Pi). Cameras on the printer should watch jobs and use TinyML to determine if they are going to fail as early as possible to halt printing so it can start over. Most of the consumer solutions don't have great support. Maybe users are limited to calling a place in a foreign country where support hours don't make sense for them or maybe the products are just too much of a hacker/maker/hobbyist solution. There needs to be an option for color printing. This could be a really expensive sprayer or ink like inkjet printers use at first We love to paint minis we make for Dungeons and Dragons but could get amazingly accurate resolutions to create amazing things with automated coloring.  For a real game changer, the RecycleBot concept needs to be merged with the printer. Imagine if we dropped our plastics into a recycling bin that 3D printers of the world used to create filament. This would help reduce the amount of plastics used in the world in general. And when combined with less moving around of cheap plastic goods that could be printed at home, this also means less energy consumed by transporting goods. The 3D printing technology is still a generation or two away from getting truly mass-marketed. Most hobbyists don't necessarily think of building an elegant, easy-to-use solution because they are so experienced it's hard to understand what the barriers of entry are for any old person. But the company who finally manages to crack that nut might just be the next Apple, Microsoft, or Google of the world.

For the last Additive Insight of 2022, the TCT editorial team gather for a first live recording from our newly minted TCT Additive Manufacturing Network to discuss this year's biggest 3D printing and additive manufacturing (AM) news stories. As this handy month-by-month round-up proves, 2022 was by no means short on new AM products, developments, acquisitions or disruptions to keep us busy. On this week's episode, editors Laura, Sam and Oli discuss a handful of those must-read stories in more detail and the key moments that shaped the AM industry over the last 12 months. Stories include: - Materialise announced the launch of CO-AM - Markforged acquires Digital Metal & Teton Simulation - President Biden launches AM Forward programme - Ultimaker MakerBot merger closes; UltiMaker desktop 3D printing brand launches - Nikon Corporation announces acquisition of SLM Solutions - HP announces commercial availability of Metal Jet S100 3D printing solution Learn more about 3D printing with DuraForm PAx Black and DuraForm PAx Natural (SLS) from our episode sponsor 3D Systems by visiting bit.ly/3dspod

We talk a lot about how the world will become software-centric. How we book experiences on Airbnb or order a taxi on Uber, and how AI will make decisions at level and consistency humans cannot yet achieve. The idea is that the supply chain issues we are all experiencing now are radically reduced because software is essentially an infinite resource, available when, where, and how we want it deployed. You cannot say the same for a tractor or a robot. More importantly, if something breaks on a machine or it needs a hardware change, the software cannot do this. It might not even be a major piece or machine. It could be a cog in a kitchen mixer.By 2033 our guest Nadav Goshen argues that the ability to 3D print near anything will make hardware as agile as software promises. In effect, killing the idea of supply chain challenges because the word “chain” is instantly removed. Just imagine receiving a text that a part for your car has been printed at your local garage based on sensor feedback from your last trip. Preventative maintenance can cut the overall cost of car ownership down by twenty-five percent. Imagine your favorite food mixer your mother gave you can now have a simple replacement piece printed. All these elements already happen in the aerospace and defense industry, so the steps to mass customization at home, in the factory, or even in space are a few steps away.

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

On this week's episode of Additive Insight, the editorial team discuss the biggest additive manufacturing and 3D printing news stories from the last month. The top story focuses on Nikon's numerous investments in metal AM, starting with the biggest, a voluntary public takeover of SLM Solutions in a 622 million Euro deal at the start of September, quickly followed by investments in Hybrid Manufacturing Technologies and Optisys, Inc. TCT editors Laura Griffiths and Sam Davies also discuss the development of SLM Solutions extended version of its 12-laser NXG XII 600 system in in partnership with Concurrent Technologies Corporation. The team also discuss the launch of UltiMaker as the MakerBot/Ultimaker merger, announced back in May, officially closes, and the launch of Mantle's new metal 3D printing system designed specifically for tool making applications.

This episode is not only about chatting and chicken but also a little update on Tom's move back to his new old studio and his plans to completely move in before he flies out to ERRF2022. After a bit of rambling, Tom and Stefan talk about a 3D printed robot arm, Fusions360s implementation of lattice structures, and an open-source high-temperature 3D printer. After Tom got his loaf of bread out of the oven and shared his recipe, both continue talking about pathogens on 3D prints and the newly unveiled name of the Ultimaker and Makerbot merger. The question section covers cherry-picked or modified review machines, Voron vs. Ratrig, more stringing on longer nozzles, LDO vs. Formbot Voron kits, and a brief chat about alternative part cooling systems.

Welcome to Season Four!  We sit down with Jeremy Simon, Co-Founder and CEO of longterm Ultimaker partner 3D Universe. Jeremy shares his personal passion for 3D printing and e-NABLE, and his company's commitment to a consultative rather than sales-focused approach. Jeremy introduces his customer Jason Enders, Owner of key racing parts supplier RE Suspension Inc. Jason shares his journey with 3DP from prototypes for custom install tools, to fixtures and brackets, to printed items for sale in his popular racing parts shop based out of Mooresville, NC -- the hometown of NASCAR and the epicenter of the grassroots explosion of racing sports worldwide.

This episode is slightly different because Stefan records it straight from Covid isolation which he caught, as many others, at this year's Midwest Reprap Festival in Goshen, IN. After a short status check and some stories from MRRF, Tom and Stefan discuss the recent merger of Ultimaker and Makerbot and what this will mean for the two brands as well as Thingiverse. Staying on the topic of Ultimaker, both talk about CURAs new Arachne slicing engine that dynamically adjusts extrusion width for more detailed and denser parts. Since CURA is open source, Prusa also implemented that feature in their new 2.5 alpha version of Prusa Slicer. Talking about open source, Tom and Stefan discuss the recent issues of Bambulab and QIDI not releasing the source code of their modified PrusaSlicer and CURA builds. The final section covers the question of what happened to PlyBot?

Additive manufacturing makes it possible to begin to make a new product cost-effectively at small scales through 3D printing, and both change the product design and scale up its production in response to market acceptance. This means inventors of new products can be their own manufacturers, and it's why inventors producing their own product is becoming a new category of manufacturer. Julia Hider recently visited an example: Maxwell June, maker of a new razor system for shaving. She and Peter Zelinski discuss what she found, and the reasons why additive manufacturing expands the possibilities for inventors. This episode is brought to you by PTXPO. Mentioned in this episode: Maxwell June The "mold moment" and AM's paths to production The Dustram and Jack King, its inventor, on The Cool Parts Show The Periscope phone case Ultimaker 2+, one of the machines used at Maxwell June Creality Ender-3 V2, the newer printers at Maxwell June More on extrusion 3D printing (FDM/FFF) More on vat photopolymerization (stereolithography [SLA]/digital light processing [DLP]) More on Multi Jet Fusion Tooling for publishing

I met Jos Burger when I was working for Shapeways years ago. He's astute, very bright and a natural leader who later worked at Ultimaker while I was there as well. Naturally, we discussed what Burger calls "Ultimaker's romantic period," or the chaotic period between hobby and hyper-growth that he stepped into. We talked about going direct versus indirect for production, Ultimaker's European loan, the private equity investment, the number of printers the firm has sold to date (over 130,000!), and the Ultimaker ecosystem. Burger tells us of future plans and the positioning of the firm. He talks of the Business Development teams' application development, as well as training and Ultimaker Essentials. We also discuss positioning and price points. As Ultimaker moves up in the world towards corporates what does the company lose? Will they lose touch with makers, educators, and people in the developing world? Will there be fewer community improvements? Burger emphatically redoubles his support for Ultimaker's open source roots and character and calls it essential for the firm, which may assuage many a worry. All in all, both Max and I really liked hanging out with Jos Burger and we think that you'll enjoy this thoughtful conversation also.

Ultimaker’s team shares insight into the evolving role of 3D printing in manufacturing and design.

We're continuing our executive interview series into 2021 with insights from Andreas Langfeld, President EMEA at Stratasys, who joins us on the Additive Insight podcast to discuss the last 12 months, future plans and that $100 million Origin acquisition. Speaking to Andy towards the end of a last year, we discussed resilience, and how despite the challenges of 2020, Stratasys successfully launched and shipped a brand new PolyJet system, continued to make strides in healthcare and aerospace markets, and how the additive manufacturing industry has come even further than Andy could have imagined at the beginning of his decade long career in 3D printing.

As the fifth TCT Asia came to a close, Head of Content, Daniel O'Connor sat down with Assistant Editor, Sam Davies to discuss some of the exhibitors they had spent time with over the course of the show. With a focus on polymer technologies, Dan covers the latest developments at Farsoon and tells the story of a Chinese company forced to reinvent itself after Apple stole its thunder, and Sam talks Polymaker and Ultimaker, after both companies made announcements on Day 1.

In der ersten Folge nach dem Jahreswechsel erklärt uns Benjamin Kraft, warum ihn der neue Mac mini von Apple ratlos macht. Das langersehnte Upgrade des kleinen Rechners ist zwar bezogen auf die Leistung endlich wieder auf der Höhe der Zeit und dabei vor allem wieder außergewöhnlich leise, aber der Preis ist einfach zu hoch, um damit Neueinsteiger zu überzeugen. Michael Link hat in den vergangenen Wochen unzählige Male das Handy gewechselt, um zu vergleichen, wie man am besten die Daten mitnehmen kann. So einfach wie zwischen zwei iPhones geht es bei der Konkurrenz nicht, aber praktische Tipps können die nötig Arbeit zumindest erleichtern. Schließlich führt Pina Merkert noch einen 3D-Drucker vor, der zwar aussieht wie ein Ultimaker 2+ und sogar dessen Namen zu haben scheint, aber trotzdem keiner ist. Dank des offenen Umgangs von Ultimaker mit der eigenen Technik können Anbieter aus China Klona anbieten, die deutlich günstiger sind, aber selbst zusammengebaut werden müssen. Wie die sich schlagen, erzählt Pina.

Welcome to Episode 13 where we discuss 3D printing and the future impacts it can make on our daily lives. But before we get into that, we give some shootouts to a couple of our new listeners as well have another segment of “Can’t Lose / Must Win”. Luis Rodriguez from the 3D printer manufacturer company Ultimaker is in the studio with us as we dive into 3D printing. We discuss Ultimaker, the technology behind 3D printing,  overview of the 3D printing industry as well as the cost breakdown for different classes of printers. Each of us co-hosts pitch our 3D printing idea to Luis and he in turn ranks our ideas. We wrap up the meat of the episode with a hot debate on whether 3D printing will be a bigger disruptor than the internet as well as! Lastly, we go close out the episode with  our Elon Musk Book Club, where we discuss Chapter 7 titled “All Electric” (written by Ashlee Vance), which goes over the inception and development of Tesla Motors.

Medical Applications for 3D Printing – Jan Witowski – Ep45 This week my guest is Jan Witowski. He is a medical student in Poland and has taken the lead for developing medical applications for 3D printing in his university. The main application so far has been for surgeons working with liver surgery. We talk about how he creates the 3D files using CT scans. This was very interesting, as I had no idea a CT scan could create a 3D image. Jan then uses Blender to assemble various parts so the models can be printed in separate pieces and put together. We discuss the importance of working with open source software (like Blender) and using lower cost 3D printers (Ultimaker 2 for example). While there are others out there making 3D printed parts for medical applications like him, they are using much more expensive software and printers. We also touch on Bio-printing, which is printing living tissues.
