Additive Insight

Earlier this year, Xerox announced the installation of an ElemX liquid metal 3D printing system on a U.S. naval vessel. It followed the deployment of a machine at the Naval Postgraduate School in California back in 2021 and served to represent the increasing play for metal 3D printing in the military sector. 

Weeks later, Tali Rosman, the Elem Additive General Manager at Xerox, sat down with Mike Pecota, a Contract Support subject matter expert for the Department of Defence, where he specialises in additive manufacturing (AM) to discuss additive manufacturing in the military. 

Across an hour of conversation, the pair discussed the opportunities for digital inventories in defence sectors, what considerations have to be made when implementing AM in military organisations, and the need for baseline quality standards in 3D printing.

On this week’s episode of Additive Insight, Sherri Monroe, Executive Director at the Additive Manufacturer Green Trade Association (AMGTA) joins us as our latest Executive Interview guest.

With a leadership background spanning both non-profit and for-profit organisations, Monroe joined the AMGTA back in June at what she describes as a ‘critical point’ in the development of the association, which was established by metal 3D printing specialist Sintavia back in 2019 to promote the environmental benefits of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies.

On today’s episode, Monroe talks to TCT about the AM industry’s commitment to sustainability, the importance of lifecycle assessment (LCA) , and why we perhaps shouldn’t be so quick to label something as ‘greenwashing’.

On this week's Additive Insight podcast, the TCT editorial team is back for another editorial roundtable covering the biggest 3D printing and additive manufacturing news from the last month.

Editors Laura Griffiths and Sam Davies discuss some major acquisitions including news that Nano Dimension has taken a 12% in Stratasys, and Markforged's recent addition of binder jet to its portfolio with the acquisition of Digital Metal. The team also take a look at the next generation of Formlabs selective laser sintering technology with the launch of the Fuse 1+ 30W, and explore new stats from CONTEXT which show a complete reversal of 3D printer shipment trends seen throughout 2020.

On this episode of Additive Insight, the TCT editorial team record live from the TCT 3Sixty show floor to bring you highlights from the UK's leading 3D printing and additive manufacturing showcase.

The team discuss launches from Wematter, WAAM3D and Construct3D along with key takeaways from the conference including sessions from Aston University, Boston Consulting Group, and TCT's new Global Perspectives Forum with Todd Grimm.

You will also hear a special Innovators on Innovators conversation between our two 2020 TCT Hall of Fame inductees Phill Dickens and Terry Wohlers, and some words from our 2022 inductee who was announced at this year's TCT Awards celebration, Elaine Hunt.

You can also hear a segment from a live fireside chat with Women in 3D Printing President Kristin Mulherin and this year's TCT Women in 3D Printing Innovator Award winner Eliana Fu.

On this week’s episode of Additive Insight, Casey Melvin, Co-founder and Co-CEO of THEFUTUREOFJEWELRY joins us as our Executive Interview guest. 

Melvin co-founded THEFUTUREOFJEWELRY with sister Janine back in 2017 with a mission to democratise jewellery through 3D printing. To do that, they developed a platform that allows customers to easily customise and create personalised jewellery products – starting with signet rings – at a more accessible price point.

On this episode, we discuss how a weekend getaway to Spain became the spark of inspiration for founding a company, how 3D printing is making traditional forms of jewellery more accessible, and much more.
