From South Bend, Indiana, welcome to 3Degrees Discussions — the podcast devoted to the stories behind the innovators, entrepreneurs, and leaders in the 3D printing and advanced manufacturing world. I’m your host, Mike Vasquez.

In this episode, I’m joined by Jonathan Pegues. Jonathan helps teams push the science and application of advanced manufacturing forward, with a career rooted in:

Microstructural analysis

Process and build optimization

Practical problem-solving across refractory and reactive alloy systems

Jonathan has a rare ability to translate deep technical insights into real-world manufacturing solutions—improving product performance, streamlining development cycles, and bridging the gap between R&D, manufacturing operations, and industry partners. Throughout his career, he’s focused on helping organizations understand how manufacturing decisions impact material behavior, structural performance, and long-term reliability.
