#101 Formalloy CEO Melanie Lang on new alloys & functionally integrated components with DED


Listen Later

Melanie Lang founded FormAlloy in 2016, alongside CTO Jeff Riemann, after first becoming interested in 3D printing as a hobbyist.
The co-founders first met as interns at Boeing, and reconnected years later when they spotted an opportunity for DED technology in industries such as aerospace.
Lang herself started out as an aerospace engineer, landing a role at Lockheed Martin after her stint at Boeing, where she was involved in such things as algorithm development for air defence systems. While at Lockheed, she also took part in a three-year leadership programme, which resulted in a master’s degree, and set her on a path that would eventually see her start up her own company.
Throughout the episode, we discuss the product portfolio of that company, how FormAlloy commenced work with the likes of NASA, and what the key opportunities are for DED technology in aerospace and beyond.
