## Summary

Omar Fergani, co-founder and CEO of 1000 Kelvin, explains how their AI-driven platform AMAIZE acts as a co-pilot for additive manufacturing engineers, reducing physical iterations by predicting thermal issues and optimizing print recipes. The company, based in Berlin with US operations, focuses on moving AM from prototyping to serial production by treating it as a materials processing discipline, enabling companies to print existing cast designs without modification. Fergani highlights use cases in oil and gas spare parts, partnerships with EOS and Autodesk, and the necessity of AI to address workforce shortages and scale production.
