Timothy Wangler was kind enough to join me for 2 hrs discussing some of the nitty gritty details behind concrete 3D printing along with other materials showing promise for the future.

3D printed wood is made possible by combining wood fibers with recycled plastics. Morten illuminates some of the benefits and challenges of working with this type of material in this podcast episode. It's awesome hearing about some of the concrete alternatives that can also be fabricated into housing on a large scale. Hopefully the future continues to bring new exciting material breakthroughs.

Shashank Shekhar is the CEO & founder if MiCob, the automation firm working with the Military Engineering Services Department of India. As we have seen with some other countries, there are some military applications for 3D printed concrete which are being explored. Although we can't get into the details on a podcast we do cover the general concepts in this insightful episode. I am really grateful Shashank took the time to join me from the other side of the world virtually and share a slice of his vast experience with us.

On my 3rd visit to the Boxabl Factory I finally got to sit down with CEO Galiano Tiramani for a Podcast! We discuss how far they have come from the first few units they had when I first stopped by years ago to the 300 units they have built now, 100+ of which are sitting in the parking lot!  https://automate.construction https://www.boxabl.com/

Jason Jones is the CEO of R Squared out of Austin Tx. I stopped the demo unit he 3D printed in cementitious mortar and we recorded a podcast inside. I hope you don't mind my dog was in and out in between swims in the pod and running around with the cattle on the farm.

In this episode of the automate construction podcast Nick Holden and I discuss his start up contour 3-D and how they printed the first permanent 3-D printed building in Australia. This was a tremendous accomplishment and they did it for a TV show which is extremely popular in the land down under. We get into discussing why contour decided to build their own concrete printer Nick Holden entrepreneurial background how he built his career to where it is today and what he believes contour has in store for the future as they seek to automate construction.

Meltio is a Spanish startup developing metal printing extruder heads used around the world. Their system uses lasers to melt the inconel or other materials into a very dense custom formed part not limited by traditional casting or forging restrictions. This technology is opening up new design opportunities to make parts lighter and less wasteful.
