In this episode of the Slant 3D Podcast, Gabe explains why customers will accept visible layer lines when a product solves a real problem—and why blaming surface texture often hides a weak product, poor positioning, or ineffective sales strategy.We also discuss major changes across the 3D printing industry. Meshy reportedly raised $400 million for AI-generated 3D models, while BigRep entered restructuring and Fusion3 moved toward shutting down. Gabe breaks down why some 3D technologies are attracting major investment while traditional printer manufacturers continue to struggle.Additional updates include lower Teleport pricing, automatic support detection, faster order turnaround, Portals advertising tools, TikTok affiliate integration, Oil Stick production, and continued development of the Slant 3D API.Finally, Gabe revisits the Smarter Every Day BBQ knob and explains why manufacturing speed should be measured across the entire production system—not by the cycle time of one printer or molding machine.🔗 OTHER IMPORTANT LINKS 🔗Connect to a 1000+ Machine 3D Print Service:https://www.slantpod.com/Need a Modeling Software?

We look at the cost of buying new spools, return shipping, processing used spools, environmental tradeoffs, and why collapsible spool designs could make the entire idea much more practical.We also cover the latest shakeup at Nano Dimension, the accidental release of Prusa Index CAD data, and why hardware companies should expect competitors to reverse engineer their products.Later, Gabe sits down with Gabriela Trueba, founder and CEO of Womp, to talk about building a new kind of 3D design software. They discuss Womp's roots in 3D printing, signed distance fields, real-time ray tracing, building their own GPU servers, AI-generated 3D models, and making CAD approachable for a completely new generation of designers.This episode is brought to you by Portals — a way to upload a 3D model, set your profit, and sell physical products without operating your own print farm.🔗 OTHER IMPORTANT LINKS 🔗Connect to a 1000+ Machine 3D Print Service:https://www.slantpod.com/Need a Modeling Software?
