Additive Insight

On this month's Additive Insight editorial roundtable, TCT Head of Content Laura Griffiths and Senior Content Producer Sam Davies discuss March's biggest 3D printing and additive manufacturing news stories.

Following similar moves by Desktop Metal and Markforged over the last few months, we discuss VELO3D's announcement it is to go public with special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) JAWS Spitfire, Stratasys launching a line of powder bed fusion systems based on High Speed Sintering, Carbon making its Design Engine software available to all subscribers in a '10x type product launch', and DyeMansion unveiling its next-generation post-processing technology.

On this episode of the Additive Insight podcast, Laura Griffiths, TCT Head of Content is joined by Jonah Myerberg, Co-founder and CTO at Desktop Metal.

The additive manufacturing company first made a name for itself as a pioneer of office friendly metal 3D printing with its compact Studio System, and, on the other end of the adoption curve, a Production System aimed at, you guessed it, serial production.

Since then, Desktop Metal has secured household names like Ford, Google and BMW as customers and expanded its portfolio with more metal platforms, carbon fibre and most recently, polymers, in a huge deal with EnvisionTEC.

During our conversation, we discussed how this acquisition fits in with what Desktop Metal is calling Additive Manufacturing 2.0, becoming a publicly listed company, and how 2021 is well positioned to be the year of AM applications.

For our latest Executive Interview, Nora Toure, Director for Sales and Service Factory Operations at Fast Radius and founder of Women in 3D Printing joins us on the Additive Insight podcast.

With a background in additive manufacturing spanning online 3D printing services at Sculpteo to heavy industry at Ivaldi and now, working with one of the world’s leading digital factories at Fast Radius, we spoke to Nora about supply chain, where additive manufacturing fits in and the importance of diverse teams and perspectives.

On this month's Additive Insight editorial roundtable, TCT Head of Content Laura Griffiths and Senior Content Producer Sam Davies discuss February's biggest 3D printing and additive manufacturing news stories.

Continuing the trend for consolidation, we discuss Stratasys's acquisition of RPS as it ramps up its ambition to be "the first choice for polymer 3D printing", the launch of ExOne's new office-friendly metal 3D printer based on Rapidia's water-based technology, Desktop Metal eliminating the debinding step with its upgraded Studio 2 system, and the Digital Manufacturing Centre's integration of Enable Manufacturing's Additive Casting technology.

On this episode of Additive Insight, TCT Head of Content Laura Griffiths is joined by Tali Rosman, Xerox Vice President and General Manager for 3D Printing.

The well-known 2D print giant made its play for the additive manufacturing market back in 2019 with the acquisition of start-up Vader Systems and its Liquid Metal 3D printing technology. Since then, Xerox has gone on to introduce its first metal system, the Xerox ElemX, and recently announced the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) as its first installation.

We spoke to Rosman about Xerox’s history with 3D printing, which began long before that 2019 acquisition, Xerox’s commitment to being its own first customer with its AM products, and the company’s pragmatic approach to ensuring additive can be easily integrated into existing workflows and supply chains.

On this week's episode of Additive Insight, our Executive Interview series continues with a conversation with Carlos Zwikker, Chief Commercial Officer at AM-Flow.

The Netherlands-based start-up is a developer of automation technologies which tackle the post-printing parts of the AM production workflow. Combining 3D-shape identification and a mix of hardware and software intelligence, AM Flow addresses those important end-to-end process steps which need to be considered in order to position additive manufacturing as a scalable production technology.

Speaking with TCT Head of Content, Laura Griffiths, Zwikker discusses the company’s latest developments, why these solutions will be necessary for 3D printing to reach its true manufacturing potential, and the readiness of the AM market for this level of automation.
