Additive Insight TCT Magazine

On this episode of the Additive Insight podcast, we're joined by Slice Engineering CEO Dan Barousse.

Throughout our conversation, Dan explains the challenges Slice Engineering is addressing through its delivery of extrusion 3D printing consumables, the capabilities of its product portfolio, and the impact he expects AI to have in 3D printing.

We also discuss the prospect of consolidation in the extrusion 3D printing market and the adoption of desktop 3D printing solutions in the defence space.

On this episode of the Additive Insight podcast, Plastometrex CTO Dr Jimmy Campbell joins us to discuss the company's PIP Testing technology.

Profilometry-based Indentation Plastometry (PIP) is a method for obtaining a material’s stress-strain curve from an indent profile by using accelerated inverse finite element analysis.

Throughout the episode, Campbell explains how PIP technology works, where it can be applied, and the impact it can have on quality assurance, parameter optimisation, materials development and much more.

We also get his thoughts on the progress being made in the additive manufacturing sector.

On the latest instalment of TCT's Innovators on Innovators series Flow-3D Senior CFD Engineer Allyce Jackman sits down with Hexagon’s Director of Business Enablement Jeff Robertson.

Throughout their conversation, the pair discuss computational fluid dynamics in additive, why industry has struggled to adopt simulation and computational tools, and the economic challenges for AM.

They also ponder whether investment into AM will continue based on current market performance and discuss a billion dollar opportunity for the industry.

On this episode of the Additive Insight podcast, we're joined by Colin Hautz, the CEO of ArcelorMittal Powders.

ArcelorMittal is one of the largest manufacturers of steel in the world and has set up the ArcelorMittal Powders business to bring steel powders to the additive manufacturing industry.

Hautz has been appointed to lead the new business unit and joins the Additive Insight podcast to explain the motivation behind the new venture.

He also discusses how ArcelorMittal Powders will differentiate itself in the AM market, while explaining the materials manufacturing capacity at its atomisation plant in Spain, and the application opportunities he sees in automotive.

On this episode of the Additive Insight podcast, TCT editors Laura Griffiths and Oliver Johnson discuss their week in Chicago at the 2024 Additive Manufacturing Users Group Conference.

They talk about conference highlights including a keynote talk from Jason Lopes on the 3D printing story at Legacy Effects, and a special Innovators Showcase conversation between Todd Grimm and metal additive manufacturing pioneer Greg Morris. 

Plus, technology launches from the show floor, key conversations and some previews of AMUG content still to come in the next issue of TCT Magazine.

On this episode of the Additive Insight podcast, TCT Group Content Manager Sam Davies is joined by Joe Laurienti, the founder and CEO of aerospace company Ursa Major Technologies.

Laurienti founded Ursa Major as the first pure play rocket propulsion company in America in 2015, having previously worked on SpaceX and Blue origin engine projects.

In setting up Ursa Major, Laurienti and his team have aimed to develop technology that can allow companies to double launch capacity and solve supply chain risks at a lower cost.

Through that endeavour, the company has been leveraging additive manufacturing technology, and Laurienti joins me today to share how AM enables the designs of Ursa Major’s rocket engines, how the company inspects its complex components, and its focus on developing alloys for metal 3D printing.

We also touch on the potential impact of Ursa Major’s Lynx approach to manufacturing solid rocket motors and what a 138 million dollar Series D round will mean for the company moving forward.
