In this episode, we are joined by David Martinez of 3DLAC. Brought to you by PCBWay (https://jle.vi/pcbway) and OctoEverywhere (https://octoeverywhere.com/welcome?id=podcast).

Born out of the Clone Wars RepRap Spain community over a decade ago, 3DLAC has transformed how makers tackle first-layer adhesion on FDM 3D printers. Now, 3DLAC is the go-to bed adhesion solution trusted by 3D printing professionals and hobbyists around the world.

In this episode, David shares the origin story behind 3DLAC, how the team developed an alternative to Kapton tape, and how their dedication to chemical research and product innovation helped them create 3DLAC Plus and other upcoming solutions. With over 10 years in the market and distribution in 50+ countries, 3DLAC has become a staple in 3D printing toolkitsโ€”supporting materials like PLA, ABS, and PETG with ease and reliability.
