Michael had worked at start-ups before, but was drawn to Markforged for how they focus on hardware and software that work harmoniously together. Markforged was an early leader in carbon fiber 3D printing, and has matured into a publicly traded company with machines all across the globe.   We talked about:  • How to identify problems that 3D Printing can solve  • How to educate engineers on where 3D printing makes sense  • How distributed manufacturing will affect the future.   And everything in between.

Sarah is a metallurgical engineer, which means she has a deep knowledge of the inner structure of metals and alloys – at least much more than myself as a simple Mechanical Engineer. https://fabrisonic.com/ She’s a product manager at Fabrisonic, a start-up in Columbus Ohio who has an incredibly unique take on metal 3D printing. Fabrisonic’s technology: • involves no heat • is hybrid additive and subtractive • can print in nearly any sheet material • can print large metal parts This makes it useful for an unimaginable amount of more use cases than the status-quo of metal 3D printing – DMLS. You can find the video, audio, and all other podcast episodes on our website: https://3dprintauthority.com/fabrisonic

Every year different organizations will publish their own version of “The state of 3D Printing”. These reports are super interesting to me, especially because they’re all different! 2020 was a wild year. The status of manufacturing and 3D printing is evolving at an accelerated rate. In this episode I stepped back from interviews and analyzed 3 different reports. I pulled out what I think are the most important highlights, and you can digest them all in under an hour. What do you think about these types of reports? Are they useful for learning, or only as a lead magnet for the companies that publish them?
