Additive Evolution: Navigating Orthopedics and the Shift in Manufacturing with Derek VanDenDriessche

Additive Snack · 17 Oct 2023 · 25m · Episode 5

What this episode covers

Derek VanDenDriessche, VP of Sales and Business Development at Precision ADM, explains how his contract manufacturer supports medical and aerospace clients through a three-step additive manufacturing process from prototype to serial production. He details the strategic value of partnering with a specialized contract manufacturer versus vertical integration, citing high capital expenditures and the scarcity of experienced AM engineers as key barriers for OEMs. The conversation highlights Precision ADM's partnerships with EOS, TicoMet, and the Orthopedic Innovation Center to accelerate speed to market for complex orthopedic devices like tibial trays.

    S7E32 Steven Szymeczek | From Taking Things Apart to Teaching Engineers How to Build

    Steven Szymeczek, a mechanical engineer and adjunct professor at Boise State University, discusses his journey from designing crop-duster components to launching a product development business and now managing a university lab. He details the challenges of early entrepreneurship, including the difficulty of pricing projects appropriately and the importance of building a network of manufacturing partners rather than relying on unreliable early 3D printing technology. Szymeczek also explains the rapid evolution of additive manufacturing, highlighting the shift from messy resin printers to accessible, fast systems like Bamboo Lab and Formlabs X1, and how these tools enable engineers to fail early and learn quickly. Finally, he describes his current role at Tech Help Studio Blue, where he leads a product development lab that gives students hands-on experience with real client projects, ranging from 3D-printed combat robots to medical devices.

    Post print: The dirty little secret of additive manufacturing

    Jeff Mize, CEO of PostProcess Technologies, explains why automated post-printing is the 'dirty little secret' of additive manufacturing, detailing how his company digitizes the manual support removal and surface finishing steps. He discusses the evolution of 3D printing from low-volume prototyping to high-volume production in automotive, medical, and aerospace sectors, emphasizing the need for open architecture and integration with MES systems. Mize also highlights how automation addresses labor shortages and supply chain vulnerabilities by enabling on-shoring and mass customization, while sharing insights on building a resilient startup culture.

    Following Your Passion in 3D Printing with Greg Paulsen

    Greg Paulsen, Director of Application Engineering at Xometry, explains that 3D printing is an umbrella of technologies rather than a single miracle tool, debunking the myths that it can do everything and that it is a monolithic process. He describes prototyping as shifting from the high-cost, low-iteration constraints of analog film to the rapid, low-cost iteration of digital cameras, allowing for faster design validation. Paulsen highlights aerospace as a key industry for metal additive manufacturing due to the ROI from part consolidation and weight reduction, while noting that cosmetics and cost remain barriers for high-volume consumer goods. He concludes that CAD design is the true barrier to entry, as the software capabilities must evolve to fully leverage the freedom of additive manufacturing.
