"The State of 3D Printing, AI, Tariffs — and Mike’s Favorite Movie"

Guest Host: Caroline Vasquez

For this special 150th episode, the mic gets turned on 3Degrees founder and CEO Mike Vasquez — with his wife, Caroline, leading the conversation. This wide-ranging discussion covers where the 3D printing industry stands today, how tariffs and global dynamics are shaping manufacturing, and the growing influence of AI on design, production, and workflows.

And because no milestone episode is complete without a little fun, Caroline also digs into Mike’s all-time favorite movie and what it says about his approach to life and business.

A candid, insightful, and personal look at where advanced manufacturing is heading — and what keeps Mike inspired along the way.
