The latest episode of the Additive Insight Podcast - we've opted for a slight name change as the new year beckons - is the first of a two-part series in which the TCT Magazine editorial team sit down to discuss the biggest stories, some trips across the globe, and some of their favourite articles of the past 12 months.

From Solidworks to Formnext, from Desktop Metal and Markforged's court battle to MakerBot's launch of Method, and everything in between, TCT Magazine delves into the most important developments of the year. Laura and Sam also go head to head in a pop quiz set by Dan. Which was the most read story on tctmagazine.com each month, and which was the most read of the year?

Part 1 covers everything from January to June, while Part 2 will tackle the back end of 2018 and will drop on Friday 21st December.
