3D Printing | Practice: From Hobby Tech to Industrial Workhorse
from Big Ideas Only · host Montanus
3D printing isn’t just for fragile prototypes or weekend gadgets anymore.In this episode of Big Ideas Only, host Mikkel Svold visits the Center for Industrial 3D Printing at the Danish Technological Institute (DTI) to explore how additive manufacturing is used in real production today.The Guests of this episode Kristoffer Ryelund Nielsen (previously Head of Engineering) and Karl Frederik Fischer (PhD, Materials Science) will walk us through the machines, parts and business cases that make 3D printing a serious tool for industry.In this episode, you’ll learn about:1. Why “additive manufacturing” is more than prototyping and where it shines in production.2. Powder-based processes for plastics and metals3. How the industries are adopting 3D printing today4. The Concrete advantages in printing 3D5. Real printing examples, such as rocket components.6. Certifications and standards for medical and food-grade parts7. How does the future look like with 3D PrintingEpisode content00:04 3D printing beyond the Wish-printer stereotype01:58 “3D printing” vs “additive manufacturing” and why the term matters02:45 From prototyping to full-scale production parts06:37 When printing wins: faster lead times and optimized designs 16:57 The biggest opportunities haven't yet been discovered 18:02 Space example: consolidated rocket engines with fewer parts and better cooling 25:38 Enabling designs that were previously impossible 29:30 The future: mass customization and digital inventories This podcast is produced by Montanus.
