"You can start with nothing and get to scale" — The Rise of New Manufacturers
In this conversation, Const Ivanov (DigiFabster) and Raymond Weitekamp (Polyspectra) discuss the launch of Core Zero, a new resin by Polyspectra, and its implications for the 3D printing and additive manufacturing industries. They explore the role of Kickstarter in funding innovative manufacturing projects, the transformation of 3D printing into a viable production method, and the rise of prosumer manufacturing. The discussion also touches on the importance of local manufacturing, the challenges faced by U.S. manufacturing in the wake of COVID-19, and the potential for customization in various industries. Ultimately, they emphasize the accessibility of manufacturing tools and the need for a resilient supply chain.
Takeaways:
Core Zero represents a significant advancement in resin technology for 3D printing.
Kickstarter serves as a vital platform for funding and validating new manufacturing ideas.
The transition from 3D printing to additive manufacturing is crucial for commercial viability.
Prosumer manufacturing is on the rise, allowing individuals to create and sell products.
Automation is key to making small-scale production feasible and efficient.
Local manufacturing can foster pride and economic growth in communities.
The fragility of supply chains was highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
There are untapped niches in manufacturing that can be explored beyond traditional sectors.
Customization is becoming increasingly important in consumer products.
The tools for manufacturing are more accessible than ever, enabling innovation.
