Alex and Matt discuss the evolution of 3D printing: Going from hobbyist to hustling for yourself or working for a business using a 3D Printer. The importance of hands-on experience, tinkering, and starting with a more challenging 3D Printer to start can prime great growth for anyone interested in 3D printing.
Alex highlights the value of 3D printing in business, citing his experience in aerospace and the benefits of rapid prototyping. Matt shares his journey from hobbyist to founding a 3D printing business, stressing the need for problem-solving and adaptability. While both hosts emphasize that leveraging 3D printing's flexibility and speed to innovate and inexpensive up-front costs (compared to injection molding) can make Additive Manufacturing a valuable asset to a company or individual when making parts for business.
If you have a 3D printer and want to go to the next level, this is the podcast for you. Learn about all the ways you can use your 3D printing skills to make money - either for yourself or for a company.
