VoxelMatters Podcast

Our guest for this new episode of the VoxelMatters podcast is Jonathan Myer, CEO of APWORKS.

As an engineering company, Munich-based APWORKS has been at the forefront of advanced additive manufacturing for state-of-the-art materials – such as the increasingly popular Scalmalloy, which it brought to market - and applications used in motorsports and aerosapce, since it spun out of Airbus in 2016.

First as Chief Product Officer and no...

In today's tech landscape, AI and manufacturing present great opportunities. Randy Altschuler, the founder of Xometry, a digital AI-driven manufacturing company, discusses its motivations, challenges, and prospects. Altschuler was inspired by the importance and potential of manufacturing and saw the opportunity to bridge the gap in the market using digital tools and AI.

One challenge is the lack of awareness about additive man...

Mass production is the Eldorado of additive manufacturing. It is not easy to achieve and very few companies have been able to cost-effectively produce thousands and even millions of parts using AM technology.

One of these companies is OECHSLER, a major manufacturer of polymer (and ceramic) parts for various key industries, including automotive and sportswear. The German company achieved several world’s first in terms of serial prod...

Today we welcome Brad Kreger, the new CEO at Velo3D, the largest US-based manufacturer of metal powder bed fusion 3D printers.

Mr. Kreger joined Velo3D in December 2022 as the Executive Vice President of Operations, and was tasked with transforming the company’s processes, consolidating them after a period of rapid – perhaps even too rapid – expansion.

When Benny Buller, the company’s founder, stepped down as CEO late last year (h...

In 2024, we're diving headfirst into the boundless world of additive manufacturing, exploring an array of applications spanning industries, materials, and parts

To kick off this journey, we've got an extraordinary story to share with you. Brace yourselves for a game-changing narrative about a company that's not just redesigning parts for ...

In this episode, we will discuss two of the biggest additive manufacturing-related announcements coming from the Paris Air Show.

With these two major and highly strategic announcements, Oerlikon is consolidating its leadership in advancing metal AM part production for aero and space applications.

The company revealed it worked with Airbus to industrialize the AM process for serial production of antenna clusters, which resulted in ...

In this week’s episode of the VM podcast, we conversed with Andy Jeffery, a serial entrepreneur with a long-standing history in the 3D printing industry that stretches back to the early nineties. Jeffery’s journey through the 3D printing industry offers a unique narrative - encompassing the founding of companies, exploration of diverse materials, and an ever-evolving interest in sustainability.

Jeffery’s first venture into 3D print...

Our guest in this episode is Franco Cevolini, CEO of CRP Technology. CRP is a very interesting company because it has been active in the AM industry for well over two decades and has built unique expertise in both AM production services and advanced AM powder materials.

Services are offered mainly via polymer PBF technologies, such as SLS and HSS, catering to advanced automotive and aerospace users. Materials are offered under the...

In this episode of the VM Podcast, we catch up with Chad Beamer, Applications Engineer managing the US-based application center for Quintus Technologies, the global leader in high-pressure technology. 

Quintus designs, manufactures, installs, and supports high-pressure systems in three main areas: densification of advanced materials, sheet metal forming and high-pressure processing for food and beverage innovation, safety, and shel...

Using a process that in some way is similar to high-end industrial material extrusion, ValCUN produces parts directly using liquid metal. Developed with a fully automated production chain in mind, the Molten Metal Deposition (MMD) process is ideally suited for any factory floor, without complex intervention and interruption of current workflows.

This approach reduces manufacturing lead times, easy and affordable operation, and is c...

It’s been an intense start of the year for 3D printing, with tons of news coming out, our Automotive AM Focus eBook, the MIDO eyewear show in Milan and the AMS conference in New York City already in the books.

But it never stops in additive and today we are here with Ido Eylon CEO of 3DM Digital Manufacturing, to talk about a technology that is going to change the way polymer laser powder bed fusion – the process commonly known as ...

No metal AM hardware company has been able to gain rapid adoption in the aerospace segment as Velo3D. The company started just a few years ago and it has already grown into a publicly listed entity on track to reach nearly 100 million in yearly revenues. 

Its machines are used to produce many of the most high-profile rocket engines and rocket engine parts, with growing applications in aviation and in the energy segment. They a...

Additive manufacturing has a special place in the space beyond our own planet. It has emerged as a clear enabling technology for an entirely new generation of commercial companies targeting orbit, deep space, the Moon, and Mars.

That’s why I could not be any happier to welcome today’s guest, Tim Berry, Head of Manufacturing at Launcher. Launcher is one of the clearest examples of the amazing results that a space startup can achieve...

Today’s episode brings together two companies that represent at the same time, the history and the future of additive manufacturing: AM Flow and Midwest Prototyping.

Midwest Prototyping is a leading AM service provider that started in 2001 with the purchase of a desk and one stereolithography machine. Both of these shared an office with founder Steve Grundahl, who is our guest today.

Steve got early exposure to rapid prototyping te...

Today’s NDT technologies, based on CT or X-ray scans, are costly and extremely difficult to use. But one company, Theta Technologies is changing all this by introducing a new NDT system based on nonlinear acoustic technology. How does it work and what will this mean for today’s and tomorrow’s digital additive manufacturing production workflows?

Today we have the opportunity to ask this to the Chief Executive Officer of Theta Techno...

Space is the “initial” frontier for AM. One of the industrial segments where AM production made the most sense from the very start and where AM has helped enable the development and growth of a new, vibrant commercial space industry.

Today we get to speak with one of the companies driving this new age of space across many segments. The Satellite Applications Catapult is one of a network of UK technology and innovation companies tha...

Today’s guest is Markus Seibold. For those who don’t already know him, Markus has led the AM service and production activities at Siemens for over 10 years.

His deep understanding and contagious passion for additive manufacturing as a transformative technology have enabled him to work at some of the most significant cases for AM industrialization, through Siemens’ internal AM factories and through the acquisition, internalization a...

At 3dpbm, we have been following Xerox’s venture in AM ever since the company decided to invest to develop a new liquid metal printing process, invented by a New York startup called Vader.
