At its recent media day, HP marked 10 years since it first showed the world Multi Jet Fusion, the powder bed fusion technology that became the foundation of its 3D printing business. VoxelMatters sat down separately with Alex Monino, SVP and GM of Additive Manufacturing Solutions at HP, who joined the 3D printing effort in 2013 and has run the commercial side of it since. The conversation traces…
Additive manufacturing has spent the past decade trying to prove itself worthy of a rocket engine. When a small startup out of Colorado decided to build its very first rocket engine almost entirely out of 3D printed parts, a lot of people in the industry assumed it wouldn't hold up. Eleven years later, that company is Ursa Major, and the engine — Hadley — has flown more than ten hypersonic…

Some might not have realized it yet, but creating 3D models—whether for virtual worlds like gaming or for physical use in 3D printing—has recently become a heck of a lot more accessible. This shift is driven by a new wave of AI applications, like Tripo 3D, that can transform text prompts or 2D images into fully developed 3D models. VAST, the company behind Tripo, emerged from an open-source…
Robert Higham, Director of AMS, explains how he’s working with Rolls-Royce to transform old Tornado parts into components for the new Tempest fighter, opening a world of opportunities for the Royal Air Force and beyond.
Our guest for this new episode of the VoxelMatters podcast is Jonathan Myer, CEO of APWORKS. As an engineering company, Munich-based APWORKS has been at the forefront of advanced additive manufacturing for state-of-the-art materials – such as the increasingly popular Scalmalloy, which it brought to market - and applications used in motorsports and aerosapce, since it spun out of Airbus in 2016.…
In today's tech landscape, AI and manufacturing present great opportunities. Randy Altschuler, the founder of Xometry, a digital AI-driven manufacturing company, discusses its motivations, challenges, and prospects. Altschuler was inspired by the importance and potential of manufacturing and saw the opportunity to bridge the gap in the market using digital tools and AI. One challenge is the lack…
Mass production is the Eldorado of additive manufacturing. It is not easy to achieve and very few companies have been able to cost-effectively produce thousands and even millions of parts using AM technology. One of these companies is OECHSLER, a major manufacturer of polymer (and ceramic) parts for various key industries, including automotive and sportswear. The German company achieved several…
Today we welcome Brad Kreger, the new CEO at Velo3D, the largest US-based manufacturer of metal powder bed fusion 3D printers. Mr. Kreger joined Velo3D in December 2022 as the Executive Vice President of Operations, and was tasked with transforming the company’s processes, consolidating them after a period of rapid – perhaps even too rapid – expansion. When Benny Buller, the company’s founder,…
