3DPOD: Insight from 3D Printing Pros

MIchael Raphael is one of the most experienced and knowledgeable 3D scanning people worldwide. For years he and his company Direct Dimensions have been asked to 3D scan important buildings, monuments, submarines, aircraft and much more. In our first interview Max Brogue and myself talk to Michael about his diverse projects. We mention the Kinect, 3D scanners in phones, scanning buildings, the work Michael’s team did on the Avengers movie and the state and future of 3D scanning. We talk about the problems and useful technologies for different applications. We really enjoyed this conversation and hope you will love it as well.

You can find all of our podcasts here. The podcast of bioprinting is here, 3D printing in medicine is here, 3D printing guns is here, teaching in 3D is here, the fourth industrial revolution is here, and the first is here. You can listen to them all on Spotify and Apple as well.

Max and I discuss bioprinting this week. We go into detail about the different things that excite us from in situ, to scaffolds, to skin to cartilage. We talk about the science fiction like frontier that will open for us and the real things that are happening today. We’re both excited about near term ways through which bioprinting coupled with microfluidics can advance science and drug discovery can become a brute force problem. We’re also excited about how bioprinting can advance medicine by requiring less animal testing for example. As for cartilage and bone were also very positive about those developments. We both consider 3D printing organs to be years away but speculate about an exciting future where that is possible. Please enjoy!

Hello everyone we really hope that you enjoy a new episode of the 3DPod. Maxwell Bogue and I had a lot of fun making this episode. In this 3DPod we talk about 3D printing in medicine. What impact is it making? What is happening in hospitals? What is happening in the developing world? We talk about implants, braces, personalized medicine, polymers and metals. We talk about DIY medicine and groups of people making their own medical devices and lots more. We really hope you enjoy this episode. As always do give us feedback and suggestions. You can find all of the podcasts including direct download, Spotify and Apple here.

Today Maxwell Bogue and I take a look at a rather contentious subject 3D printing guns. Is there a real threat? Are we making the problem worse by discussing it? What actually happened? Who should be responsible? Glass guns and printcrime. What can we learn from the 3D printed gun debate? And what should we do for the next time?

We’d love to hear from you. What do you think of our podcasts? What should we improve? Any suggestions on subjects we should talk about?
