## Summary

Harshil Goel, founder and CEO of Dyndrite, explains how his background in mathematics and mechanical engineering led to the creation of software that solves complex additive manufacturing challenges. He details Dyndrite's unique approach to build preparation, materials and process development, and qualification, highlighting a Python-integrated interface that allows engineers to automate tasks and optimize production. Goel discusses specific customer success stories, including significant time savings in labeling and rapid prototyping of Inconel parts, while arguing that mathematical modeling, rather than AI, is the key to accelerating industry qualification processes.
