Our guest on this week’s episode of Additive Insight is  Mitch Debora, CEO and co-founder of Mosaic Manufacturing.

Mosaic Manufacturing is a Canadian 3D printing technology developer. Its flagship Array technology, a cluster of its Element printers, enabled by a robotic automation system, is focused on layering core automation tools into additive manufacturing to enable the technology and its users to scale. 

Throughout the conversation, Debora talks about how setting up a 3D print service as a 19-year-old student lit the spark for Mosaic’s customer-centric focus, why users are interested in full end-to-end manufacturing systems, not just the 3D printer, and why he’s “overwhelmingly optimistic” about the future of AM.

On this episode of the Additive Insight podcast, TCT Group Content Manager Sam Davies is hosted by Rapid Fusion Managing Director Jake Hand and CTO Martin Jewell at the company’s offices in Exeter. 

Founded in 2023 by 3D printing distributor Evo3D, Rapid Fusion is developing and commercialising its own large-format additive manufacturing technology. 

Having launched its hybrid Medusa platform earlier this year, Hand and Jewell join the Additive Insight podcast to discuss the industrial opportunities for large-format 3D printing, how its new Medusa system works, and the UK additive manufacturing supply chain. 

They also provide insight on their collaborations with the likes of Rolls Royce and share their vision for the company moving forward.

On this episode of the Additive Insight podcast, we're joined by Major General Phil Prosser, who has served as a British Army officer and engineer for 33 years. 

In that time, General Prosser has operated primarily across engineering, logistics and supply chain, with tours in Afghanistan, Iraq and Kosovo, and a deployment to support the National Health Service’s Covid-19 effort in 2020. 

Through his current role as Director Joint Support in Defence Support, General Prosser is responsible for, among other things, building out supply chain resilience. This is increasingly bringing him into contact with additive manufacturing technology, with General Prosser joining the Additive Insight podcast to discuss the opportunities for AM in defence. 

Throughout the conversation, we touch on the MOD’s ongoing Project Tampa initiative, the development of digital part inventories, and the use of AM on the front lines.

In the latest instalment of TCT's Innovators on Innovators series, Kat Ermant, Lead Prototype Technician at Peloton, is joined by Brianne Malloy, Senior 3D Printing Engineer at Estee Lauder.

Over the past ten years, Kat and Brianne have forged careers in the additive manufacturing sector, working primarily in design, prototyping and product development at Peloton and Estee Lauder, respectively. Their academic backgrounds, however, are in fine art. 

Today, they come together to discuss their journeys from fine art undergraduates to additive manufacturing engineers, touching on how they get the better of imposter syndrome, the importance of networking for career progression, and their pursuit of additional qualifications while in full-time work. 

They also dig into the definition of an engineer and offer advice to graduates and young professionals.

On this episode of the Additive Insight podcast, TCT Group Content Manager Sam Davies is joined by Srini Kaza, the Executive Vice President of Research & Development at Align Technology.
 
Align Technology are not only considered to be the leader in the dental aligner market, but are also highly regarded as a 3D printing super user. 

The company has been utilizing 3D printing to produce aligner moulds for around a quarter of a century, scaling into millions of parts a week. 

Today, Kaza joins the Additive Insight podcast to take us through that journey, detailing the evolutions of the company’s manufacturing workflow, the challenge of requiring 100% yield, and the target of additively manufacturing end use aligners. 

He also offers advice to other manufacturers looking to adopt 3D printing and explains what R&D challenges Align is trying to address next.

On this episode of the Additive Insight podcast, TCT Magazine Group Content Manager Sam Davies is joined by Fortius Metals CEO Jeph Ruppert. 

Fortius Metals has spun out of Elementum 3D to develop and manufacture metal materials for large-format wire-based 3D printing technologies. 

Ruppert, who was appointed CEO earlier this year, joins the podcast to discuss the manufacturing opportunities with large-format wire-based AM, what he considers to be the company’s core competencies, and what the company is working towards on its product roadmap. 

He also touches on the future of multi-material 3D printed parts and his vision for the company.

For our latest Executive Interview, we're joined by Peter Richards, CEO of DEEP Manufacturing.

DEEP Manufacturing is a UK-based advanced manufacturing specialist, and a division of DEEP, a company developing next-generation underwater pressure vessels for subsea human habitats.

The company specialises in the application of wire arc additive manufacturing for complex large-scale structural parts in offshore, defence, maritime, energy, and aviation sectors, and has developed its own six arm robotic additive manufacturing platform - the HexBot.

On this episode, Peter discusses how the HexBot is pushing the boundaries of metal part production, the crucial role of standards in developing pressure vessels for human occupancy, and delivering a world first for subsea exploration.

On this episode of the Additive Insight podcast, we're joined by Lumas Polymers CEO Luke Rodgers.  

Rodgers has worked in the additive manufacturing space for more than 15 years, serving roles related to materials development at Stratasys and later Jabil.  

A few years into his stint at Jabil, the company launched a business dedicated to the development of specialized materials for a range of polymer 3D printing processes. Jabil Engineered Materials would go on to launch products such as the patented polyketone 5000 powder, but this year was the subject of an acquisition by Lumas Polymers. 

Purchasing patents, technical capabilities, expertise and equipment, Lumas Polymers is now set up to continue what Jabil Engineered Materials started, with Rodgers at the helm. 

Throughout our conversation, Rodgers reflects on the achievements of Jabil Engineered Materials, explains why Jabil sold the business to Lumas Polymers, and what we can expect from the company’s product portfolio. 

Rodgers also provides a temperature check on the AM industry and shares his vision for Lumas Polymers.
