    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.

    Additive Manufacturing on the Shop Floor: Hype, Reality, and Where It Actually Works, Ep #37

    Mark Barfoot, VP of Global Sales at Exact Metal, discusses the practical application of metal additive manufacturing in machine shops, moving beyond hype to real-world use cases like jigs, fixtures, and end-use parts. He explains that while the technology is maturing, success requires designing for additive (DfAM) rather than simply replacing CNC machining, and highlights the importance of facility safety, powder handling, and building internal expertise. Barfoot notes that laser powder bed fusion is becoming more accessible for job shops, with lower-cost machines enabling production runs of thousands of small parts, provided the geometry justifies the cost.

    The Digital Warehouse: A Look Inside Additive Manufacturing w/ Melanie Lang

    Melanie Lang, Co-Founder and CEO of FormAlloy, discusses the evolution of additive manufacturing from prototyping to production, focusing on Directed Energy Deposition (DED) technology. She explains how DED uses laser energy and metal powder to build or repair parts layer-by-layer, enabling multimaterial solutions and large-scale builds without support structures. Lang highlights aerospace applications like rocket nozzles and heat exchangers, where DED combines copper alloys for thermal properties with nickel superalloys for strength. She also addresses the industry's shift toward viewing manufacturing as a 'digital warehouse,' where digital files replace physical inventory, though she notes that trust and certification standards are still evolving.
