In our latest 3D printing podcast episode, we talk to Danielle Glasbergen-Benning, who is an Application Development Specialist for DSM Additive Manufacturing.
In our first episode, we visit L’Oréal headquarters in Clichy, France to chat with Matthew Forester, the company’s Additive Manufacturing Technical Manager.
Our third episode is an interview with key members of the Ultimaker team, who share their knowledge and insight into the evolving role of FFF 3D printing, in both manufacturing and design.
Taking an initial idea to the final product can be daunting. We strive to help you understand, with clarity, all the steps required to get there.
While additive manufacturing enables a totally new era of complex parts, it is still necessary to have a robust toolset that allows an engineer, designer, or product team to fully utilize these new manufacturing capabilities.
