How can using additive manufacturing for final production drive design complexity? Learn from Mike Van Staagen, owner of Van Staagen Design and VP of Advanced Design and Development for Cirrus Aircraft. In this episode of the Solutionology Podcast, Mike talks with Carl Douglass, P.E., and Brian Douglass about working with a company to design the internal body of a very specialized camera about the size of a soda can. He explains how leveraging the DI Labs Multi-Jet Fusion (MJF) capabilities for final production allowed him to drive complexity into his final design. Mike's solution included a single printed part, which he describes as “impossible,” that held over 20 components together and went through multiple iterations to add new features such as snaps, wire runs, and clips. Mike calls MJF technology for production "a solution that can grow with you."

How can companies stay ahead when customers increasingly demand anything, anywhere, anytime? The answer is Proximity—a simple idea with profound implications that makes sense of AI, renewable energy, precision agriculture, lab-grown meats, VR, 3D printing, and other digital breakthroughs. Proximity converts chaos into clarity. Join me and Robert C. Wolcott TODAY at 12pm ET for the virtual launch of our new book "PROXIMITY: How Coming Breakthroughs in Just-in-Time Transform Business, Society, and Daily Life" from Columbia University Press. In this live Zoom webinar today, Sree Sreenivasan (CEO of Digimentors) will guide us through a discussion on the Proximity concept revolutionizing every industry.

🎙️ Podcast alert! Whether you are a novice or an expert in additive manufacturing, I think you might learn from Olivier Diegerick. Olivier shares his thoughts on the most meaningful AM trends that have emerged in the last decade, why realising additive’s design freedom potential was his additive 'lightbulb moment' and how Siemens, as a super user of industrial 3D printing technologies itself, is informing its own additive solutions development. He also talks about artificial intelligence for additive manufacturing, smart factories, collaborating with AM machine vendors, and much more. #podcast #AdditiveManufacturing #3Dprinting https://sie.ag/5tEvcq

🎉 Back to work with a bang! As the festive vibes of the Lunar New Year fade, we're greeted with new work challenges and opportunities. Today, I'm thrilled to share this unique image of a Chinese dragon, crafted through AI-powered 3D printing. It's not just a seamless blend of technology and tradition but also a leap in innovative spirit. The fusion of AI with manufacturing services and 3D printing is unlocking endless possibilities. AI's data analytics can streamline production processes and reduce material waste, while machine learning can predict and solve issues during production, boosting efficiency and quality. These advancements are not only propelling the rise of customization and small-batch production but also revolutionizing traditional manufacturing. 😊🚀  #AI #3DPrinting #Innovation #Manufacturing #TechTrends (image build by DALLE3)

This week’s Additive Insight podcast with Olga "Dr.O" Ivanova is the last to feature a guest for the rest of the year. Olga was the 60th different guest to have featured on the podcast in 2023 as our audience grew 53% on the previous year. 2023 has also seen us record our most popular Innovators on Innovators conversation yet, our 100th episode, a special Through the Doors feature with GE Additive, live podcasts at the AMUG Conference, RAPID TCT, TCT 3Sixty, TCT Asia & Formnext, and just under 30 Exec Interviews. A huge thanks to Matt Whelan, Bradley Rothenberg, Terry Wohlers, Chris Connery, Ziad Abou, Fried Vancraen, Frank Carsten Herzog, Amy Elliott, Melanie Lang, Mark Abshire, Cambre Kelly, Prof Kate Black, Jessica Drazba, Alba Gonzalez Alvarez, PhD, Parastoo Jamshidi, Beth Ripley, Mathieu Desjardins, Patricia Wendling (twice), Kristin Mulherin, Matthew Shomper (twice), Duann Scott, Gaia Giladi, Avi Reichental, Bre Pettis, Robert Swartz, Steve Hoover, Chris Wyres, Richard Finch, Ph.D., Richard Hague, Andrew Allshorn (AMUG 🦕), Louise Callanan, Neil Hopkinson, Shrinivas Shetty, Callie Higgins, Stephanie Benight, Rush LaSelle, Ali Forsyth, Brian Birkmeyer, Chris Schuppe , Jason Lopes, Brian McLean, Andre Wegner, Cora Leibig, Spencer Loveless, Annie Wang, Rahul Kasat, Olivier Diegerick, Gary Turner, Doug Kenik, Paul Heiden, Pierre Gonnetan, Niall O’Dowd, Elissa Ross, Francois Minec, Duygu Gunay, Camila Uzcategui, Evren Yasa, Jonathan Rowley, Blake Courter, Olga Ivanova for their contributions. As we head into 2024, the first five Additive Insight episodes are already scheduled with insights from Peter Rogers, Andreas Bastian, Dr. Victor Roman, Omer Blaier, Victoria Sears, Nicole McMinn, and Blake Teipel on the way – but if you have something interesting to say about the additive manufacturing industry, or know somebody who does, then please get in touch. Sponsorship opportunities across our various podcast series are also still available. Carol Cooper is the person to talk to if you want to communicate your branding and messaging to our thousands of monthly listeners. Next up, Laura Griffiths, Oliver Johnson and I sit down to discuss the biggest 3D printing stories of a very eventful 2023 in a bumper episode that's out on Monday. #3DPrinting #AdditiveMfg #Podcast

🎙️ “In another 30 years, people are still going to want the technology to be, for example, more repeatable.” On this week’s Additive Insight podcast, Mechnano’s Olga "Dr.O" Ivanova addresses some of the 3D printing industry’s biggest challenges. Listen here >> https://lnkd.in/evwZ7C2j #3DPrinting

“The urgent task for humanity is to integrate everything we do into the web of life. And there's no better source of ideas than life itself, to show us how we can do this” - Michael Pawlyn In this week's bite-sized episode of The Circular Economy Show Podcast, hear architect Michael Pawlyn explain how biomimicry and technologies such as 3D printing can help achieve 'near perfect circularity' in the built environment: https://lnkd.in/dVK4h8kW

Is betting all your money solely on cutting-edge technologies a good idea? A method of light printing was recently developed. 3D printing technology constantly improves. We're designing progressively better neural networks and program advanced, helpful artificial intelligence algorithms. Robots make other robots. We have rovers on Mars and a Large Hadron Collider on Earth. We manipulate genes and design precision lasers. “Do you have a light?”, a friend of ours asked recently. And we were helpless. As if fire hadn't been invented yet! Advanced technologies on their own won’t save you. You need to know your tools, be prepared and respond to the needs of the situation, of your audience, your customers, and your own. #Oxymoronagency #Officestories

Just finished reading an insightful essay titled "Shaping the Future of Construction: Inspiring Innovators Redefine the Industry" from the World Economic Forum, and I'm truly inspired! 🌟 This essay highlights transformative innovations like 3D printing, AI, and modular construction that are set to revolutionize our industry. One fascinating example is how 3D printing is enabling the creation of intricate architectural designs that were previously too complex or costly. This not only accelerates construction timelines but also promotes sustainability by reducing material waste. Staying updated with these advancements is crucial for driving progress in construction engineering. Highly recommend checking out this essay for a glimpse into the future of our industry!
