| 3D Print Metal – Titanium Anniversary with Rich Merlino, David Hall, and Dr. Cesar Terrazas of Addaero | 10 Sep 2015 | 00:46:26 | |
Reaching 100 WTFFF?! Podcast episodes is a milestone for us and to commemorate it, 3D Print Metal additive manufacturer, Addaero printed the Angel design that started it all for us, only this time instead of PLA, it is printed in Titanium. Using Electron Beam Melting or Powderbed Fusion Technology, 3D Print Metal manufacturing is changing the geometric constraints on aerospace, underwater, space and other industrial (and consumer) applications for machined parts. Rich Merlino, David Hall and Dr. Cesar Terrazas talk not only about the process and application of 3D Print Metal but have dissuaded any preconceptions that 3D Printed parts on a plane are unsafe. In fact, Tracy is convinced that she would rather be in a plane with 3D Print Metal parts – without all the machining and handwork involved in traditional fabrication, it should be safer! We talk also about what’s holding back widespread adoption and the types of projects that can benefit from additive manufacturing especially when looking at high mold costs and low initial volume. The guys at Addaero even gave us some special tips for 3D Print Metal design – Wall thicknesses greater than 1/2mm are best Do you have 3D Print questions?

| Critical 3D Print Operations with Aaron Roy of 3DPrinterOS | 03 Sep 2015 | 00:39:19 | |
Perhaps you think 3D print operations and the operating system is the least interesting topic for a podcast and you would be in good company with us as well. Everyone said we had to see and talk to 3DPrinterOS for ourselves and they were right! The 3D print operations are absolutely critical to smooth running for any business, school or makerspace, but it doesn’t have to be complex and confusing. Our guest, Aaron Roy discusses with us their mission for making the 3D print operations and workflow streamlined so that deployment can be the same no matter what printer you add. Imagine that… a system you easily learn once and allows you to grow and expand with the technology instead of having to overhaul the system every time you make a change or addition. The data tracking and details of the 3DPrinterOS system although fairly intuitive to learn, have rich depth. So, we decided to add a visual to the podcast mix. Be sure to see the video on either YouTube or embedded below for a quick guided tour of the functions and features including the management of 3D printer farms and multiple users. Don’t let the overly techie topic scare you away, these 3D print operations are critical to clarifying exactly how you might deploy and manage 3D printers in your organization. 3DPrinterOS Do you have 3D Print questions?

| Pitch a 3D Print Business | 30 Jul 2015 | 00:39:05 | |
Who knew that picking one winner for our 3D Print Business Mentorship Contest could be so tough? Our three finalists all have a great business idea and passion for 3D Printing. The real debate might just be – Who can we help the most?
READ THEIR PITCH:
Eduardo Martini – Brazil The idea of the business is to produce and sell special gifts using a 3d printer and a laser cutter. The prices for toys and gifts are increasing and the ability to choose a thing that a person will like in the color she wants and have a laser cut card to go with it will be amazing. We will ship it nation wide. The product can be bought just printed or with an optional finishing like epoxy resign, acetone vapor, hand sanded, also available the option of airbrushing the product in different colors. On the website will be a rank of the most bought products and suggestions for special occasion.
Kelechi Ojinnaka – Nigeria – Afera3D
I am building Africa’s best and leading 3D printing service bureau and 3D printing market place. We will provide online access to individuals and companies across Africa who desire to bring their creativity to life. We will be the continent’s leader in providing the best solutions in 3D printing technology and services. We will be driven by innovation tailored towards exceeding our customers’ expectation. With our strong knowledge of the local economy and our passion for 3D printing, we will build a service with global standards well suited for Africa. Our bureau will enable people from the most remote place have the ability to create and market their creativity. We are the future of Africa. We are Afera3D Technology.
Michael Williams – USA – Melange.co My business will be a store front for all things crafted, with a makerspace in the background. I like to make things as well as teach others to make things. I plan to rent out shelf space to makers for selling or even just exhibiting. I want to have 3D printers available for people to see in operation, and for them to purchase. I want to have touch displays setup for customers to do simple customizations and order customized parts from them. I want the makerspace to be like the wizard behind the curtain. I feel the average consumer doesn’t care how it’s made, and too much detail may even scare them off. So we’d only show them down the rabbit hole, if they want to know how something is made.
Stay tuned tomorrow for the winner. Who would you pick?

| Why Does My Recurring 3D Print Suddenly Change? | 16 Feb 2016 | 00:10:20 | |
In this WTFFF?! episode Tom & Tracy answer a technical and practical question from a listener who prints the same type of objects over and over again. The question is: Why does a part that I have printed regularly and successfully over a long period of time all of a sudden have problems when I go and print it? That always surprises me. We’ll get a print off the printer, and there are gaps and holes and things. But we just printed this, and everything seems to be working, but all of a sudden there is a problem. Or something doesn’t form properly. There are several reasons why this can happen. We will run through the three most typical reasons as to why?

| 3D Scan Clean-Up | 22 Jul 2015 | 00:09:44 | |
Leave yourself a lot of time for the 3D Scan clean-up. We had our scans made in early May and just finished cleaning them up and improving them for the best 3D Print output possible. There are multiple areas that might need clean-up and repair like: 1) any blank or missing areas of data; 2) any misinterpretations of shadows or textures; and 3) any aesthetic improvements such as making Tracy taller or giving Tom more hair!
