Spencer Loveless’ story is a compelling one. It’s a tale of a family business starting from nowhere and becoming successful. Then subsequently, it is a tale of manufacturing in the USA against all odds. This is a very topical story, but it is also a crucial story for 3D printing. His firm Merit3D uses a technology that most have only seen at trade shows, Photocentric. Furthermore, he’s not running a traditional service bureau.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that whomever coined the phrase Detroit: Paris of the Midwest, had not spent a lot of time in Paris prior to doing so. Detroit is kind of like Gotham but with Batman refusing to leave the suburbs where he lives in his mansion. The first day was cold with stinging winds that made my eyes water.

The Dutch electronics firm was a pioneer in lightbulbs and later leveraged its expertise into X-ray tubes, radios, shavers, and cassettes.

Now, the firm has partnered with Canadian aluminum powder firm Equispheres to make LPBF printing with aluminum possible. Of course, you could already 3D Print with aluminum, but the loose powder is potentially explosive. Generally, all powders from flour on down are explosive. Additionally, LPBF printers can potentially catch fire, which is not exactly a wonderful thing, and worse yet, on an oil platform. Now, both firms say that they’ve made 3D printing everywhere a lot more likely.

Yes totally! Distributed manufacturing by clusters of inexpensive machines along with automation would considerably lower part costs.
“RIP 3D Printing” by @pilz. Interesting thoughts about the status of the #AdditiveManufacturing industry. Would you agree these opportunities: software to efficiently manage multiple printers, manage #3DPrinting parts/designs, automatic build mgmt? https://t.co/oyFeC8iSAs
