Show Notes

It's been a while since we covered 3D printing here. Who better to chat with about it than Blake Teipel, who joined us for our Episode 87? He co-founded Essentium, maker of high-speed extrusion 3D printers and materials, and they were just acquired by Nexa3D. Now Blake is Chief Strategy Officer for the combined company, and he'll be there at the helm taking Nexa3D into the future.

Despite some doldrums in the industry right now, Blake is bullish on that future. Tune in and hear him talk about the industry's strengths and opportunities, including fast-improving hardware, software, and materials. He gives us his thoughts about the need for industry consolidation and how companies can position themselves for success.

With GlobalData recently predicting that the 3D printing global business will reach $70 billion by 2030, the insights Blake has to offer are crucial if  you're wanting to learn what's what in additive.
