This is Tom and Tracy on the WTFFF 3D Printing podcast. We’ve got an interview today with the CEO of Collider, which is a company we’ve talked about briefly in our episode about the Inside 3D Printing show in San Diego. They were one of our favorite companies that we met on the show floor there. Just a really cool machine, and what their vision is and where they come from. We were just fascinated by the whole team there. We really were. There’s a lot to talk about. This is a really good … [Read more...]
End User 3D Printing
Today we are bringing you a follow-up interview that was mentioned in our episode with Brandon Davis where we talked about his mission with the new Blue Dragon and end user 3D printing, of FFF 3D printing. I think this is really interesting that we’re focusing on people who are really choosing FFF printers for end use production. This has happened multiple times now. I really liked doing that because I think that 3D printing, the obvious use of it has been prototyping, rapid prototyping. … [Read more...]
Applied 3D Printing, with Brandon Davis
Today, we’re going to talk about what I think is the mantra so far for the year, applied 3D printing, applications of 3D printing, applied technology. I feel like we’re at that stage in 3D printing where that has to be happening. The use studies, cases that are working. We’re shifting out of it being theoretical into being applied. I think especially with what we saw at CES this year with Titan Robotics. To me, what they have been researching and doing with Autodesk over the last year or so with … [Read more...]
Scan The World Initiative, with Jonathan Beck
Today, we're going to take a deeper dive into scanning, and in particular 3D scanning art, and on an initiative that is really trying to scan the whole world in reality. It's pretty ambitious. We've got Jon Beck on the show. He's Project Manager at MyMiniFactory for the Scan The World project. It is very cool. It is the idea that they're going to scan sculptures around the world in hopes of 3D print art preservation and 3D scanned art preservation of course. Also, to really make these 3D scans … [Read more...]
