We had the pleassure of having David Hewlett, who you might know as Doctor Rodney McKay from the sci-fi show Stargate Atlantis, in our HQ during the Prague Comic Con weekend. We talked about 3D printing in education and filmmaking, about 3D printing in STEM, which is a topic close to David's heart, and about many other topics us 4 nerds found exciting! :)

AI is everywhere now, but are there any real practical uses for it in 3D printing? Are we developing any AI assisted tools? How are creators on Printables using AI to create models? We tackled these and many more questions in our latest Prusa Podcast.
