Good day everyone and welcome to this edition of A3 #therobotindustrypodcast. Welcome as well, to the future of manufacturing: it's on-demand. My guest for edition #60 of the pod is Greg Paulsen. Greg leads the Application Engineering team at Xometry, a global on-demand manufacturing marketplace. With 14 years of experience in advanced manufacturing, Greg's expertise includes additive manufacturing, machining, sheet metal, injection molding, casting, and quality assurance.

Here are some of the questions that I posed to Greg in the pod:

Greg, Tell me a bit about the company, you are a public company, number of employees?

How does Xometry work?

Idle machines are a manufacturers worst feat, you help fix this?

How many customers and how many manufacturers?

You are suggesting or setting a price?

How does the AI engine work?

How do you qualify the manufacturers on the network?

How do you guarantee the quality?

What happens when the price for a component is too low? How does your AI handle this?

What about materials/availability, a big challenge is supply chain?

Next big issue and expense for many companies is shipping, do you help here?

What are your financial instruments?

Your support line, what are some of the FAQs

Greg, thanks for coming onto the podcast. How can people get in touch with you?
