Dr. Pritam Poddar is the CEO of PrisAM, a 3D printing company developing lightweight lattice structures for aerospace and defense applications. His company uses robotic arms to print directly in 3D space rather than traditional layer-by-layer methods, enabling faster production of large-scale parts up to 12 feet long. He discusses the funding journey from university accelerators to SBIR grants and explains how hybrid manufacturing combines 3D printing with CNC machining to reduce material waste. Watch as Pritam shares how they secured Air Force contracts through government accelerator programs and developed innovative core materials that outperform traditional honeycomb structures.
