Additive Insight

On this episode of Additive Insight, our Executive Interview series continues with Makelab Co-founder and CEO Christina Perla. 

Perla founded Makelab, a Brooklyn-based 3D printing service, with her husband Manny back in 2017. At the time, the co-founders were freelancing as industrial designers and offering 3D printing as an additional service - but within two years, the 3D printing part really took off. Now Makelab runs a lab of desktop 3D printers, producing parts on-demand for companies from Quip to Nvidia.

On this episode, Perla talks scaling, the power of localised manufacture, DEI initiatives, and ambitions to become the modern day 'Kinko's of additive manufacturing.'

On the latest episode of the Additive Insight podcast, we bring you another Innovators on Innovators instalment which features Osseus Fusion Systems R&D/ Engineering Manager John Bohenick & 4WEB Director of Patient Specific Solutions Steve Zambrano. 

As engineers working at two mid-sized medical device companies, Bohenick and Zambrano share their insights around 3D printed implants. Throughout their conversation, they discuss the differences in development patient-specific and serialised devices; the key design considerations that need to be made for medical products; and the big opportunities in the implant space over the next ten years.

On this episode of the Additive Insight podcast, we bring you the latest instalment of our Innovators on Innovators series, featuring Professor Phill Dickens of Added Scientific and University of Nottingham and Stefanie Brickwede of Deutsche Bahn and Mobility Goes Additive. 

Having recently worked with a group that is exploring the use of 3D printing technology for spare parts, Phill has began to question the technology's suitability for the application. Meanwhile, Stefanie recently told TCT that she has seen 'so many companies' discovering they can use the technology for spare parts.

In this episode, the pair lean on their experiences to debate the applicability of additive manufacturing for spare parts, covering economics, lead times, designs and specifications. They also discuss what's needed for the AM industry to grow and where else they expect 3D printing to be applied.

On this episode of the Additive Insight podcast, we bring you the latest instalment of our Innovators on Innovators series, featuring GE Additive Operations Leader Stephanie DePalma and Protolabs Applications Engineer Eric Utley.

They join the podcast two and a half years after they collaborated with fashion designer Zac Posen to produce a series of 3D printed garments for the 2019 Met Gala. Throughout the episode, DePalma and Utley share their experiences of working with Posen and his team; recall the challenges of putting together the Met Gala garments; and ponder the future application opportunities for additive manufacturing.

On this episode of the Additive Insight podcast, we bring you the fifth instalment of our Innovators on Innovators series, featuring Candice Majewski of the University of Sheffield’s Mechanical Engineering Department and Alex Kingsbury, an AM Industry Fellow at RMIT University.

Despite never having met in person, Majewski and Kingsbury have long enjoyed discussing their work in additive manufacturing on social media platforms, with the former more familiar with polymer technologies and the latter specialising in metals. Over the course of their Innovators on Innovators episode, the pair discuss how they came to work in the 3D printing space, the importance of standards being developed to allow industrialists and academics to better understand each other, and their wishes for the future of AM.
