    Manufacturing Revolution: A Conversation With the Godfather of Additive

    As we step together into the future, what do we want the legacy of additive manufacturing to look like, and what actions can industry professionals take now to get us there? In the season two finale of Laser Focused, Renette speaks with Greg Morris, CTO of Zeda to unpack these questions, and more. Greg has been involved in the 3D printing industry for over 25 years, was inducted into the TCT Hall of Fame, and will receive the 2024 AMUG Innovators Award for metal 3D printing contributions. He served as an ambassador for 3D printing and was part of the broader team that helped revolutionize the design and production of gas turbine engine parts, using additive metal at GE Additive. Together, Renette and Greg explore the last 25 years of innovation in additive manufacturing, and the exciting developments coming up in the future. They also discuss how to democratize the technology, promoting more diversity and inclusion in the industry, to bring even more creative minds together for success.

    From Horsepower to Laser Power: Can Additive Manufacturing Turbocharge the Auto Industry?

    So far in this season of Laser Focused, we’ve explored space, peeked at aviation, and taken a step into our past  to improve our future. In this episode, we come back to  Earth to talk about something that touches many of our lives daily : the automotive industry. In this episode, Renette sits down with Ante Lausic, Lead Process Engineer at GM. Ante has over a decade of experience in the automotive, aerospace, and additive manufacturing fields and wrote a doctoral thesis that combined 3D printing with the high strength of nanocrystalline materials. Renette and Ante discuss how GM is utilizing AM-enabled manufacturing to streamline complex designs and explore a whole new world of possibilities in the automotive industry. The pair also delve into the importance of education in additive manufacturing and how GM provides their engineers with the tools to explore these emerging technologies.

    Guardian of the Galaxy: An Interview with a Real-Life Astronaut Wrangler

    What’s the next step after managing a man who walked on the moon? For Christina Korp, it’s connecting the space curious to the space serious. In this episode, Renette speaks with Christina Korp, Astronaut Wrangler, Producer, & Founder of Space For A Better World. After a decade of managing Buzz Aldrin, Christina knew there was more work to be done to attract people to work in space, and educate humankind on the benefits space exploration can have right here on Earth. We’re still facing a significant talent gap in the space industry, which  needs curious, passionate individuals across a variety of professions, not solely in the math and science realm. Renette and Christina explore how Christina’s non-profit organization, Space for a Better World fosters an entertaining and educational space for people  to learn more, and perhaps take one big step towards an exciting and fulfilling career. The pair also discuss what we got wrong with the STEM movement, why Christina often refers to it as a mistake, and what we can do to promote education around the space industry.

    Silicon Valley's Frankenstein: Dissecting the Human Heartbeat Beneath AI’s Code

    What is the connection between Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and the emergence of AI in 2023? While some may dismiss this as tenuous, our guest is here to tell us otherwise. In this episode, Renette sits down with Jeanette Winterson, award-winning author of 12 Bytes, a new book of eye-opening essays on the intersection between artificial intelligence and humanity. Renette and Jeanette discuss the importance of looking into our history, from real world events like the Industrial Revolution to works of fiction like Frankenstein, to inform our future. Jeanette details how collaboration could lead to a better future for humanity, and why she prefers the term “alternative intelligence” to “artificial intelligence”. The pair also dig into Jeanette’s work with UK based deep-tech company PhysicsX and their mission to impact the climate and human health.
