VoxelMatters’ Post

Great #podcast with Xometry’s CEO talking about their vision of #AI in #manufacturing, our strong Q2 earnings, and more!

Here is the podcast to listen to if you want to learn more about Gen AI and why it is different from previous set of general purpose technologies like steam engine, electricity, printing press. Gen AI is first automation that is going to affect knowledge workers, hence there is no running away from it. Embrace it, make it part of your life. Sooner the better!

In the latest episode of the Impressions Xchange podcast, I joined Cory Francer and Ashley Roberts to discuss our recent research, 'Artificial Intelligence in the Printing Industry: The Journey Begins'. Our conversation covers how AI is transforming workflows, driving innovation, addressing challenges, and creating new opportunities for businesses in the printing industry. #PrintingIndustry #ArtificialIntelligence #Podcast https://lnkd.in/gfH6a8rr

Podcast Recommendation: I recently had the pleasure of listening to Stephen Hooper share his insights on Amazon Web Services (AWS) industrial insights. His deep understanding of the industry and ability to cut through the noise and clearly communicate the transformative impact of #AI was truly enlightening. Key Takeaways: Beyond the Hype: Despite the inevitable buzz, AI is the most groundbreaking technology for manufacturing in the past three decades. Economic Impact: AI-driven manufacturing will unlock more economic growth and prosperity. Technological Advancement: The rapid maturation of AI technology is enabling complex applications, such as converting 3D designs into printing or machining instructions (recipes), as demonstrated by CloudNC and 1000 Kelvin in CNC machining and additive manufacturing, respectively. A Tool for Engineers: AI is the long-awaited solution for engineers, offering to augment their capabilities significantly. Although initial imperfections are expected, AI's rapid evolution promises a bright future for those willing to adopt and adapt. Considering the recent development of MBRL and LSTM, we are merely at the beginning of the event; the true tsunami (2027) wave has yet to arrive. My strongest recommendation is to start adopting and adapting to the disruption now. Don't wait :) https://lnkd.in/dnjNQfTA

It was fun to continue a tradition with SPEE3D's Steven Camilleri of catching up once a year to record a conversation for the podcast. Among other things he shared was the enduring consideration of “how do I make a perfect space printer?” “How do I make sure that by the time people are talking to us about putting manufacturing capacity on the moon or in the orbit of the moon – in the Gateway station that’s coming up – that we’re the default answer. Because our process is the right process. “Fundamentally you’ve just got to be able to make a giant pressure vessel by additive manufacturing and I think you’ll win that. That’s my personal view. Because those are very hard to make and very important to have.” Episode 101 is available to stream at the link or download via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast and other places. Episode guide 1:30 – Marking the company’s decade anniversary. 2:18 – About 100 machines in the field. “Feeling a little mature” now. 3:06 – The importance of vision and knowing the problem you’re trying to solve. 4:08 – The influence of the casting industry and its issues on SPEE3D’s approach. 6:08 – Calculating costs versus casting. 8:58 – The EMU machine on display at Land Forces. Two shipping containers full of gear. The origin story of this product and development with the Australian Army, learning about the context of the user. 10:10 – Some of the novel problems for AM presented by expeditionary use. “Insects turned out to be a big problem in the field.” 13:20 – Celebrating the highly-capable local companies in SPEE3D’s supply chain. 14:38 – Building large parts and the place of these. The shortcomings of established methods like pit casting and what SPEE3D wants to improve on. 16:30 – Thermal expansion issues. 17:50 – The TitanSPEE3D machine under development. Driven by market demand, particularly US DoD. “There’s real opportunity here.” 18:55 – The importance of manufacturing large metal objects, such as pressure vessels, off-planet.
