Jonas Galle is founder and CEO of ValCUN. ValCUN is a Belgian based company that has developed a new technology for metal 3D printing with the focus on aluminium with the goal to make metal additive manufacturing affordable, initially towards industrial production and eventually towards makers.
Because Jonas is a maker/hobbyist himself and only starts projects where normal peoples stops:).
The idea for ValCUN was triggered by the question: "Why is nobody printing metals like polymer FDM? Because that would make things way more easier for metal AM". In many hobby projects (including the ones of Jonas') required metal and preferrable aluminium as this is easier to process with outstanding weight-strength ratio. Many dedicated hobbist have basic milling machines but when more complex shapes are required CNC milling/3D printing would be desired. A single step aluminium FDM process could solve many problems (not limiting to hobbyist but also industry).

In this video we’re joined by Ankur Verma of 3DUnplugged and the DAKSH toolchanger project. Brought to you by PCBWay. Register at https://jle.vi/pcbway and get a $5 welcome bonus!
Starting off by building his (and India's first) Voron 2.4 printer in the pandemic days, Ankur has been involved in exploring multi-material 3D printing over the last few years. His first foray into this exciting and challenging world was the IDEX Switchwire printer with two independent heads in 2022 - the first one to bring Hybrid CoreXY/CoreXZ kinematics into Klipper.
Shifting his focus next to the multi-headed tool changer ecosystem, he designed and released the WP-DAKSH V1 Tool Changer with six independent tool heads. It utilized an innovative servo-based locking mechanism along with 3D printed parts to deliver a reliable and fast tool changer experience.
The latest release from him, DAKSH V2 Tool Changer, further brings down the tool change time from v1's 9 seconds to an ultra-fast sub-4 seconds, while adding to the reliability and fast printing aspects. DAKSH V2 Tool Changer is also fully mechanical without the need for a servo or motor-based locking mechanism and can be fully assembled using only 3D printed parts and off-the-shelf components, bypassing the need for machined parts.
A software engineer by training, he has also been working on incorporating intelligence into the multi-material printing workflow with predictive toolhead management and error detection systems built into the DAKSH Tool Changer.
