GoAdditive - 3D Printing Pros

AI image generators like DALL-E and Midjourney are the new hotness. Is this tech the future ancestor to the engineering software of tomorrow? Tate and Tyler go back to their roots on this audio-only episode. 

What happens when one public company purchases a chunk of another public company on the open market? Is 3D printing about to have it's Elon-esque "hostile takeover" moment? Tate and Tyler discuss the recent news involving Nano Dimension and Stratasys.  

VulcanForms comes out of stealth, Hasbro lets you live out childhood fantasies, a car capable of driving upside down, and the most powerful influencers of Azerbaijan. This episode has it all and then some.

Tate rights a wrong, and jumps into a discussion about an important topic, "When will 3D printing move past pet projects?" With major automotive OEM using 3D printing in production vehicles now, are we there yet?

Tate and Tyler confront an important question: when it comes to integrity within 3D printing journalism, are they actually part of the problem?

Will a 3D printing startup 10x their employee count between now and 2025? Tate and Tyler continue a discussion around the economy and how 3D printing companies may navigate changing tides. 

Implicit modeling, 3D printed ears, a crazy old rocket man, and an AI-like rapper round out the discussion. 

Will 3D printing displace millions of jobs? Or will Industry 4.0 have a positive lasting impact on the average worker? Following a discussion about 3DP startup valuations, interest rates, and market behaviors, Tate and Tyler dive into a heated debate over the future of automation and the workforce. 

In this week's pod, we wonder out loud whether or not the new Stratasys and Ultimaker entity will rightly be called "MakerMaker" or "Ultibot?" That, as well as overview President Biden's "AM Forward" initiative. 

A classic episode - the guys riff on a wide variety of topics, some of which are even 3D printing related. Clear 3D printing material, powder bed fusion competitors, supply chain woes, show & tell, and ongoing projects. A little bit of everything for all the printheads out there!

This episode has a "back to school" vibe. The guys recap their field trip to Silicon Valley, including a visit to Autodesk Pier 9, an autonomous car manufacturer, and a mystery EV manufacturer. Tyler reviews some compelling research into minimizing anisotropic FDM properties, and Tate schools him on the meaning of a word that literally nobody uses correctly. The episode finishes with a brief history lesson on 3D printing technology.
