3D Print Metal – Titanium Anniversary with Rich Merlino, David Hall, and Dr. Cesar Terrazas of Addaero

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 One cubic foot overall build volume Complexity is fine – even preferred Be careful of traps – areas smaller than 40 thousandths that might trap powder MENTIONED LINKS: Addaero Manufacturing Kohler Faucets Boston Dynamics Vicki Somma – TGAW Thanks to all our subscribers and binge listeners.
