Stefan Hermann is an engineer who spent 15 years at Liebherr Aerospace and Transportation. Rather surprisingly, he switched from making LPBF landing gear components possible & simulation to having his own YouTube Channel. CNCKitchen, therefore, was going to be a very different YouTube channel. And Stefan has taken his engineering rigor to desktop printers, material testing, 3D printing tips, layer height and part strength as well as 3D printer reviews. We talk about simulation, test, failure modes and much more with Stefan in an enlightening talk.

Scott Dunham models all the data at Additive Manufacturing Research. He has been predicting the growth of the 3D printing market in segments, materials, and applications for over a decade. We talk to Scott about his favorite applications and growth areas. Some of his insights and predictions may surprise you, but you’ll definitely enjoy this conversation. For much of it, we delve deeper into suppressors because Scott owns and tests them while having written a groundbreaking suppressor 3D printing report back in 2017 that predicted a lot of the growth in this market segment; a new 2024 report solidified his work in this area.

In this episode of the 3DPOD, Founder and Managing Director of ModuleWorks, Dr. Yavuz Murtezaoglu, joins the conversation to talk about the often less visible role of CAD/CAM software in modern manufacturing. With strong experience at ModuleWorks, Yavuz brings a thoughtful and wide-ranging perspective on how digital manufacturing tools support both traditional metal cutting and the growing hybrid and additive landscape. The discussion offers listeners a clear sense of why CAD/CAM matters more than ever as manufacturing workflows continue to evolve.

Jeff Thornburg has a wealth of experience, starting in the Air Force, Aerojet, NASA, SpaceX, and more. His experience in additive and space has now led him to start Portal Space Systems. Portal wants to make maneuverable satellites. This could be a real asset in case space is militarized, but even if it is not, more flexibility, different orbits, and additional capabilities could change what satellites can do. Taskable satellites and new propulsion systems can have a real impact on our planet and beyond. Jeff talks us through additive manufacturing in propulsion and why 3D printing in space is important.

3D printed suppressors are one of the largest and fastest-growing applications in 3D printing. Our colleague Scott Dunham first wrote a report on suppressors in 2017, before the boom, and we released another in 2024. But why exactly are suppressors in demand? And how does one make a good suppressor? To answer that, we spoke with Sean Bernstein, a former US Special Forces soldier with over 12 years of service in the Marine Corps. We talk about his remarkable journey to mastering CNC and 3D Printing. We learn a lot about suppressor design and what is important about suppressors. His company, Irregular Design Group, is using OneClick 3D printers to make an outstanding suppressor, and the future looks bright.

Alexander Oster has done an episode with us before, five years ago. There, we learned about his early start in 3D printing and his work thus far. Now we talk to Alex about his passion for open source machine control software. To make a more manufacturing-oriented, connected Additive Manufacturing landscape, Alex wants to offer an open-source framework. The idea is that this framework will accelerate custom machine development and let machine builders make newer machines, innovative machines, and custom machines much faster. The framework will take care of all the major stuff for everyone, leaving machine builders’ own developers free to work on competitive advantages and unique points to their machines.

Holger Schlüter is one of the people behind SCANLAB, a pivotal company in additive manufacturing. SCANLAB makes the light engines that power a lot of the 3D printing market’s machines. He gives us a look into the state-of-the-art and what is possible. Holger’s vision on additive and his technical perspective are a new way of looking at progress in 3D printing. This is sadly a criminally short episode; some Internet issues on my end made this a very difficult one to complete, so apologies for the inconvenience. Still, it’s more than worth it, given Holger’s knowledge and the importance of SCANLAB to the industry.
