In this episode of The Builders, we dive headfirst into the evolving world of industrial 3D printing with Oscar Klassen, CEO of JawsTec. What started as a single SLS printer and a six-month experiment has grown into a full-blown manufacturing operation with 20 machines and a game-changing quoting engine.
Oscar walks us through how JawsTec is lowering the barrier to entry for makers, entrepreneurs, and businesses to bring physical products to life—whether you’re printing a single prototype or scaling up to thousands. From unique materials like Nylon 12 and titanium to custom textures and rapid iteration, we explore what’s possible when technology, grit, and strategy collide.
If you’ve ever wondered how products are actually built in the modern world—or how 3D printing is quietly reshaping the manufacturing landscape—this episode is for you.
