How long until we have the ability to print anything anywhere with 3D printing? - Justin Liguori

Justin is the Principal Materials and Manufacturing Engineer at Ursa Major Technologies and used to run materials at SpaceX Questions we cover on the show: Is it possible to 3D print engines or motors using additive manufacturing with metal?  Do those engines/motors have different design constraints? What time frame would it be until a consumer/tinkerer could get their hands on something affordable that could help them build motors/engines at their house? What is the impact of AI on the design process for additive manufacturing? Who are some other people I should interview in the space to get an idea of where this is headed? Ursa major exists because of 3D printing Shortens the window Will this change the automotive industry? Will 3D printing ever challenge traditional manufacturing? Powdered fusion How many other companies have been created  What is a thrust chamber? What are the key components to a rocket? What are the downsides to making 3D parts? Are those downsides changing with material sciences? What is the future of space mining and are we going to get there? How much is a metal 3D printer? How is all of this going to change China’s future? Is china keeping up with the US in terms of 3d printing? What is going to happen with Germany? What about asteroid mining? Does Ursa Major What does it mean to have a high capacity, low launch cost? Falcon engine is heavy Dragon capsule is the only returnable part of the engine What is your optimism or pessimism for humans conquering the solar system? What are the industries that are outside of satellites? How do you find the problems that AI is good at solving? Why did you get into this? What do the manufacturing  What is the percentage of parts of a rocket that are off the shelf? What are the major innovations in materials development? New alloys Tailoring alloys to specific needs What is the future of manufacturing? How has AI changed tailoring alloys? What are the jobs of the engineer that will be AI’ed out? What is the role of craftmanship as AI changes things? How is titanium helping medical additive manufacturing? What is directed energy deposition (DED)? Wire fed DED CNC plasma  Powered bed binder jet Ceramic sand How far away are we from a star trek future where we can print anything?
