3Degrees Discussions #156 - Killian Erickson - Bifrost Manufacturing

From South Bend, Indiana—welcome to 3Degrees Discussions. I’m your host, Mike Vasquez. This podcast is dedicated to the stories behind the innovators, entrepreneurs, and leaders shaping the 3D printing industry. In this episode, I sit down with Killian Erickson, CEO of Bifrost Manufacturing, an additive and advanced manufacturing company based in North Dakota. With more than a decade of hands-on experience spanning metal and polymer additive, aerospace-grade CNC machining, product design, tooling, and process development, Killian has built Bifrost into a full-service production partner supporting industrial, UAV, and defense applications. We dig into his journey, the challenges of scaling complex manufacturing workflows, and how Bifrost is helping customers move from prototype to production.
