A two-halves-in-one episode extravaganza (or is it H-A-F?). Tyler's voice is gone but Tate brings enough energy for both of us in this episode where we discuss the latest technology announcement from Stratasys. 

There is some disagreement amongst us! What role will additive manufacturing play in machine shops? Where are the opportunities in 3DP for trained machinists? Who will lead the charge in transitioning from CNC designs to AM designs? Tate and Tyler spar it out in this episode. 

The investment world is enamored with 3D printing, and in this episode Tate and Tyler discuss some of the latest news in the additive industry - mergers, acquisitions, SPACS, and more. 

Are filament-based metal additive technologies too good to be true? What's happening behind closed doors when you send parts to be sintered? Tate and Tyler share what they know about these "easy as plastic" metal additive options. NNDM news, a guest appearance from a Portuguese 3D printing legend, and (finally) a semi-professional intro... Episode 12 is "Can't Miss."

Topology optimization is all the rage in the additive industry - what is it, and why should you care? We dive deep into the theory of simulation-driven design.

Tate abandoned us but now that he's back, we decided to chat about CAD. Our experiences, advice, and thoughts on CAD tools. 

Tate and Tyler are talking about carbon fiber's intersection with 3D printing. Materials, technologies, conventional CF layup, and more. After listening, you'll finally have an hour-long answer to the question, "Do you print in carbon fiber?"

Fresh off the discussion of "professional" 3D printing, Tate and Tyler discuss the variety of careers available in the 3D printing industry. From Application Engineers to Material Scientists, there is a wide array routes toward a fulfilling career in additive. What are the skillsets needed? Education required? How do you find opportunities? Let's talk 3DP Careers! 

Are you a professional? Or a hobbyist? This is a classic juxtaposition in the 3D printing world, and everybody seems to have their own perspective on the definition of each. Tate and Tyler compare and contrast their interpretations, and find themselves in a discussion about setting expectations, delivering value, and focusing your own personal goals. 

2021 is here, and there is so much to look forward to! Tate and Tyler discuss skills they are excited to improve upon during this year, and discuss their personal approaches to content creation, self-improvement, and truth in advertising. Happy 2021!
