Sarah Jordan, a seasoned expert in casting, forging, and metallurgy, is channeling her extensive knowledge into an innovative 3D printing technique with which she founded Skuld. Her startup's specialization in lost foam casting has led it to pioneer a 3D-printed foam casting method. Despite Sarah's characteristic humility, it is apparent that she and her team have constructed a sophisticated factory capable of producing low-cost metal parts. By streamlining the casting process, this new technique not only offers economic advantages but also accelerates time to market compared to conventional methods. While Skuld may not yet be a household name, its groundbreaking work has the potential to disrupt not just the world of 3D printing but also the broader manufacturing landscape.

So, it has been 200 episodes of the 3DPOD! That is incredible! We really didn't think it would be this much fun and last this long. We've had incredible guests and still love doing this for you! We would like to thank you so much for your support over the last five years. Five years is a long time, and we really appreciate our loyal listeners and the time you have given us. We hope that you've laughed and learned, and we hope to have 200 more episodes!

3DPOD Episode 200: Joris and Max Wax Philosophic on Five Years of Podcasting

About a decade ago, entrepreneur Graham Bredemeyer started Collider, a company that combined the best of 3D printing with injection molding. Now he runs CADChat, which hopes to make sharing and discussing CAD files more social. The young entrepreneur also talks about his time at Zverse, Shapeways, Adaxis, and Essentium. This episode of the 3DPOD provides a look into entrepreneurship and a new generation that is more "3D printing native" than the engineers from before.

Neil Hopkinson, a pioneering 3D printing researcher, played a pivotal role in developing a body of research that is widely utilized today. He also invented High Speed Sintering (HSS), also known as Selective Absorption Fusion (SAF), and successfully commercialized this technology. This journey, of course, was a lengthy process, which he is now completing at Stratasys (Nasdaq: SSYS). We discuss powder bed fusion, the current state of research, and what it takes to bring a new technology to fruition.

Lithoz is a pioneer in the 3D printing of technical ceramics, initially using a ceramic-loaded stereolithography process and later adopting multiple technologies. Johannes Homa, a researcher turned entrepreneur, discusses his transition from academia to business. In this episode of the 3DPOD, our conversation covers ceramics, the development of technologies, and business growth. Johannes provides insight into Lithoz and shares how the company is advancing the use of a new class of materials.
