Due to the nature of my job I‘m a huge SLS fan. I always need beautiful functional parts that last millions of cycles and I need them tomorrow (sometimes even yesterday if possible). We’ve just made our @formlabs Fuse 1 fleet twice more productive. Stay tuned for the full…

I agree and sometimes feel guilty about enabling more mediocre design. But in the end, more design (problem solving) is better than no design. And in good hands, the speed of iteration allows for even better designs, faster.

Just programming existing hardware, motors, actuators isn't enough -- that's like a toy programming language that can only use off the shelf blocks. You need full software control of the hardware design through digital fabrication processes like 3d printing. We need to increase…

Not only is YouTube Premium great, it's one of the few major ad-supported businesses offering a paid alternative. Paid social media is one of the only plausible solutions to the algorithm-driven polarization/rage-baiting/lowest-common-denominator content death spiral

Ignore what you read in the media - 3D printing companies are actually booming. At least 5 companies have grown from ~0 to >$200M in revenue in the last 10 years. You probably haven't heard about them because all but one are in China. Bambu Lab is now the largest company in 3D…

Sheet metal laser cutter that really works for $16k from @xToolOfficial . It's an amazing time to be a hardware engineer as you can get more and more parts at the push of a button.

Try calling Formlabs USA sales. Not quite Chinese level of responsiveness, but it will beat any US industrial company I know of.

728 mold sets for dental aligners from just two machines in 24 hours? For this project we set up a fully automated workflow around two @formlabs Form 4BL printers, paired with a wash station and curing machine. The printers themselves are excellent, but continuous scalable…

13 years ago, 3D Systems sued Formlabs for patent infringement. (Before we shipped a single unit -- literally based on a Kickstarter video!) Today, Formlabs gross profit exceeds 3D Systems. How: we focused on building stuff that people want to buy.
