Modern Day Rocket Man: How Launcher CEO Max Haot Is Using Metal 3D Printing to Win the Space Race

Welcome to another installment of the exciting podcast series Laser Focused, brought to you by Velo 3D! This is a show that takes you on a journey of discovery with the leaders that are revolutionizing how we think of additive manufacturing. Join the CMO and Brand Disruptor at Velo3D, Renette Youssef, for in-depth conversations with industry professionals discussing their own innovations and how to make the impossible possible. This week she is joined by Max Haot, the Founder and CEO of Launcher. Launcher is a developer of some of the world’s most efficient, high-performance rockets for small satellites. He is here today to discuss how they have utilized 3D printing with the building of their rockets and all the work they continue to do at Launcher. Hear about Max’s journey from getting started in Europe with building websites for giant brands like Manchester United FC, the European Tour of Golf and even the Patriots, to making the leap to the United States and starting his own company called Livestream and then Meebo. From the internet to aerospace, we get a first hand look at the story of Launcher, what they are trying to achieve and hear about what sparked this exciting and game changing venture. Did you know Launcher recently purchased a metal additive solution from Velo3D to push their progress forward? These days satellites are getting smaller and smaller, think the size of a loaf of bread or a grilled cheese, and Launcher has been working hard to build useful solutions to getting them into space. As technology and humans around the world advance, we are establishing a greater need for infrastructure in space and Launcher is helping facilitate that. So what are you waiting for? Hit that play button and get ready for a great episode of Laser Focused, presented by Velo3D, where together we innovate without compromise. Follow UsTwitter @VELO3DMetalFacebook @velo3dInstagram @velo3dPresented by VELO3Dwww.velo3d.com
