Bob is the Executive Vice President at Addman Engineering but as a testament to the speed at which things change in the Additive Manufacturing industry, at the time of this recording that news was not public so he was speaking on behalf of 3rd Dimension Industrial 3D Printing. Bob has an amazing story of perseverance, hard work, and dedication building his own 3D Printing shop in the Indianapolis area. He shares that jourey with me on the show today and the lessons he’s learned through the adoption of multiple production AM machines.
