They make swarm 3D printers that build massive objects - AMBOTS

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.

AMBOTS makes swarm 3D printers. Their system strategically moves 3D printers around so that they can collaborate together. Multiple 3D printers print at the same time, each being assigned a specific chunk of the model.   Learn more about AMBOTS: https://www.ambots.net/  Find all other episodes of the podcast: https://3dprintauthority.com/

Chris and I have been Twitter contacts for a while now, and not too long ago he reached out and wanted to chat about belt printing.  Chris Venturi3D Twitter: https://twitter.com/technosworld Tinybelt Kickstarter: https://tinyurl.com/tinybelt-ks

Justin hosts livestream maker hangouts on YouTube AND he’s going to be one of our Tinybelt beta testers. He suggested we live-stream a chat about Powerbelt3D's history, how I got into 3D printing, and the Tinybelt Kickstarter project. Check out the original full video live stream here: https://youtu.be/zK-NJoIu7as  Learn more about the Tinybelt: https://tinyurl.com/tinybelt-ks

Spencer is a normal working person with a few years of experience 3D printing with a couple different machines. In my opinion, feedback about a product should come from a broad range of different types of people - not just content creators. I'm happy to have him on board the beta testing team.

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.

This episode is a little different - but it's a super honest conversation about 3D printing. Grant runs a 3D printing service in Tampa Florida and makes a ton of online content. He will also be beta testing our next-generation conveyor belt 3D printer, so we got to talk about what he's looking forward to, worried about, and the project as a whole.

After working in aerospace for years, Melanie and her co-founder saw an opportunity to transform how large complex metal parts were made. They looked at every technology possible and identified Direct Energy Deposition as the best option.   Their metal 3D printers do not have the typical build size and material constraints that you find in more traditional DMLS systems - and they even print multi-metal hybrid parts seamlessly.   Learn more about FormAlloy: https://www.formalloy.com/   Find all episodes of the Podcast in full video, audio, and extras: https://3dprintauthority.com/

Sergey was laid off work and jumped at the opportunity to work on a big idea. He wanted to make a metal 3D printer that was actually affordable. He created a system that deposits metal and sand precisely into a crucible which gets fired to make a fully dense part in metal, glass, or ceramic.

Robert Bagheri has had a long career in start-ups and electronics. His latest project is Sakuú - a company building a 3D printing platform that is truly remarkable.   Learn more about Sakuú - https://www.sakuu.com/    It is capable of printing with metals and ceramics at the same time, which opens up a new world of possibilities. One that has had plenty of traction so far is solid state batteries - an essential technology for the future of electric vehicles.   Find all episodes of the 3D Print Authority Podcast: https://3dprintauthority.com/
