3D Print Authority Adam Fasnacht

Michael had worked at start-ups before, but was drawn to Markforged for how they focus on hardware and software that work harmoniously together. Markforged was an early leader in carbon fiber 3D printing, and has matured into a publicly traded company with machines all across the globe.  

We talked about:
• How to identify problems that 3D Printing can solve
• How to educate engineers on where 3D printing makes sense
• How distributed manufacturing will affect the future.  

And everything in between. Learn more about Markforged: https://markforged.com/

AMBOTS makes swarm 3D printers. Their system strategically moves 3D printers around so that they can collaborate together. Multiple 3D printers print at the same time, each being assigned a specific chunk of the model.

Chris and I have been Twitter contacts for a while now, and not too long ago he reached out and wanted to chat about belt printing.

Justin hosts livestream maker hangouts on YouTube AND he’s going to be one of our Tinybelt beta testers. He suggested we live-stream a chat about Powerbelt3D's history, how I got into 3D printing, and the Tinybelt Kickstarter project.

Spencer is a normal working person with a few years of experience 3D printing with a couple different machines. In my opinion, feedback about a product should come from a broad range of different types of people - not just content creators. I'm happy to have him on board the beta testing team.

Sarah is a metallurgical engineer, which means she has a deep knowledge of the inner structure of metals and alloys – at least much more than myself as a simple Mechanical Engineer. https://fabrisonic.com/

She’s a product manager at Fabrisonic, a start-up in Columbus Ohio who has an incredibly unique take on metal 3D printing. Fabrisonic’s technology:

• involves no heat

• is hybrid additive and subtractive

• can print in nearly any sheet material

• can print large metal parts

This makes it useful for an unimaginable amount of more use cases than the status-quo of metal 3D printing – DMLS.
