Audio

Description

Alex and Matt discuss the transition from prototyping to production with 3D printing. Emphasizing the importance of design FOR additive manufacturing (and not just printing any file you found on the internet). They highlight the power of iterative prototyping to refine designs and the variety of plastics available for 3D printers, and what they are good at. They close the podcast out discussing the big picture ideas of producing parts for someone like managing expectations, part quality, and the amount of work it really take to produce parts in bulk at the quality the customer is happy with. A great introduction to the grind that is 3D printing and making lots of parts. It's VERY rewarding...but it's also no picnic. If this episode get's you excited about making parts with a 3D printer, you might be built for this life. Join us! Links: Alexander G.
