Talking Additive season 3: Looking back and ahead<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n

We\u2019ve reached the halfway point of the third season of our 3D printing podcast, Talking Additive. Already, this season\u2019s episodes have covered a broad range of topics, including introduction to our new CEO and a deep dive into additive manufacturing and STEAM. This week\u2019s Ultimaker blog will take a look at Talking Additive season 3 so far \u2013 as well as at the excitement it has in store for the coming weeks.<\/p><\/div>\n

The episodes so far<\/h2>\n

Meet Ultimaker\u2019s new CEO, J\u00fcrgen von Hollen<\/h3>\n

Host Matt Griffin and Ultimaker CEO J\u00fcrgen von Hollen sit down for an introductory session that covers J\u00fcrgen\u2019s previous roles in industry and emerging tech, the core philosophy that shapes his leadership and management style, and what it was like for him to join the Ultimaker team in the middle of a pandemic.\u00a0They also discuss his vision for the company\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

Optimizing Ultimaker Cura slicing for function<\/h3>\n

Matt Griffin sits with Doug Kenik, VP of Product at\u00a0Teton\u00a0Simulation, to speak about the company and its flagship product, SmartSlice for Cura, which embeds into existing slicer programs, assigning slicing parameters that make it possible to highly optimize printing time without sacrificing functional requirements. They also discuss Doug\u2019s professional background and the FFF industry as a whole. <\/p>\n

The next episodes<\/h2>\n

\nThe latter half of Talking Additive\u2019s third season will take a somewhat different approach. All remaining episodes will fall under the umbrella of two broader topics: Ultimaker\u2019s 10th anniversary and the future of work. Curious as to what these episodes might entail? Here\u2019s a quick teaser for each.\n
\n<\/p>\n

\n\nNew developments in functional prototyping and agile manufacturing<\/h3>\n

\nA look at how 3D printing is changing the game for the functional prototype by enabling engineers to design, iterate, and create prototypes that streamline manufacturing workflows for maximum return on investment.\n
\n<\/p>\n

Carpet floor\/concrete floor: How our workplaces are changing<\/h3>\n

\n\nA look at the evolution of the modern workplace \u2013 and how 3D printing enables a seamless blend of the \u201ccarpet and concrete floor\u201d working environments.<\/p>\n

The story of Ultimaker Cura<\/h3>\n

\n\n<\/h3>\n

How Ultimaker\u2019s popular slicing software, Ultimaker Cura, came to be \u2013 and a look at what it will become.<\/p>\n

\n\nWe are Ultimaker\n\n<\/h3>\n

How Ultimaker stays at the top of its game \u2013 by employing passionate people who love 3D printing technology.<\/p><\/section>\n

We\u2019re very excited for the future of Talking Additive \u2013 both this season and those to follow. We couldn\u2019t be prouder of the content we\u2019ve so far produced \u2013 or of the 3D printing industry as a whole \u2013 and hope you\u2019ll continue with us on our journey to celebrate, promote, and discover more about FFF technology.

\u201cWith Season Three we find Talking Additive both reflecting on the past decade of professional desktop 3D printing with the Ultimaker 10th Anniversary mini-series and forward to new trends and developments such as the larger role for 3d printing software, the widening AM ecosystem, and the future of 3d printing within education and workplaces,\u201d Talking Additive host and producer Matt Griffin says.<\/p>\n

„We couldn\u2019t be prouder of the conversations presented so far \u2014 and the consistent evidence they share of new routes for 3D printing to bring values to businesses. We hope you\u2019ll continue with us on our journey to celebrate, promote, and discover more about FFF technology in this season and those to follow!\u201d
