The Arrival of High-Volume Metal Additive Manufacturing w/ James DeMuth

The Manufacturing Executive · 7 Apr 2026 · 28m · Episode 304

What this episode covers

James DeMuth, Co-Founder & CEO of Seurat Technologies, explains how his company’s 'area printing' technology disrupts metal additive manufacturing by increasing throughput to compete with conventional methods like casting and machining. He details the technical limitations of legacy laser powder bed fusion, such as speed and variability, and describes Seurat’s parallel laser approach that reduces production time from years to days. DeMuth discusses the economic implications for US manufacturing, arguing that high-volume additive can reshape supply chains by enabling local production and reducing inventory, while calling for public-private partnerships to counter Chinese subsidies.

    AM at a Crossroads: Incodema3D Proves What's Possible at Scale

    Sean Whittaker, founder and CEO of Incodema3D, explains how the company evolved from a sheet metal prototyping shop into one of North America's largest metal additive manufacturing operations, now scaling to over 50 Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) systems. He details the strategic shift from prototypes to high-volume production, emphasizing vertical integration, the maturity of Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM), and the critical role of AFM Capital's investment in accelerating expansion. Whittaker highlights specific applications in thermal management, defense, and energy, noting how reshoring and automation are driving the industry's transition into a scalable, capital-intensive manufacturing model.

    AM as a Moat: How Annihilator Created a Competitive Advantage in Broadhead Manufacturing

    Brandon Brodie, co-founder and CEO of Annihilator Broadheads, explains how a failed elk hunt inspired the creation of a broadhead with a unique 'scoop' design that creates high-pressure and low-tension wound channels. After validating the concept through plastic prototypes and an improvised Instant Pot wind tunnel test, Brodie faced severe supply chain failures with investment casting and metal injection molding suppliers, leading to massive scrap rates and lost dealers. To save the company, he brought metal laser powder bed fusion in-house, learning to operate 5-axis CNC grinding and metal printing to achieve tight tolerances and enable complex geometries like the Katana broadhead. Brodie outlines how this additive manufacturing moat allows for rapid innovation, new product lines, and future contract manufacturing partnerships.

    The Revolution of Beam Shaping for Additive Manufacturing with Alex Kingsbury of nLIGHT

    Alex Kingsbury, AM Market Development Manager at nLIGHT, explains how beam shaping technology, specifically the AFX laser, revolutionizes additive manufacturing by manipulating laser profiles from Gaussian to ring shapes. She details how this innovation stabilizes the melt pool, reduces spatter and porosity, and delivers 2x to 8x productivity gains without sacrificing material properties. Kingsbury also discusses nLIGHT's vertical integration, the transition from defense to commercial applications, and the industry's shift toward larger, multi-laser systems enabled by 2kW beam-shaped lasers.

    Scaling Additive Manufacturing — Special IMTS Edition

    Fabian Alefeld interviews John Wilczynski, Executive Director of America Makes, about the current state and future scaling of additive manufacturing (AM) at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS). Wilczynski explains that while AM technology is mature, the primary challenge is distributing this knowledge to traditional manufacturers and building the necessary workforce and supply chain ecosystems. He highlights that demand signals remain difficult to calculate, making it hard for business owners to justify initial investments in equipment. The conversation emphasizes that additive manufacturing is not a standalone replacement but a component of a broader manufacturing value chain that must be integrated with conventional processes.

    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.
