On this episode of the Additive Insight podcast, we're joined by Velo3D CEO Arun Jeldi.
Jeldi is a serial entrepreneur, currently running four different businesses. He took the reins at Velo3D at the beginning of 2025, after Arrayed Additive’s acquisition of the company in a debt for equity exchange.
Since then, Jeldi and his team have been working to revive Velo3D, expanding the company’s business model to include a parts production service, aiming for profitability by 2026 and listing the company on the Nasdaq stock exchange.
Joining the Additive Insight podcast, Jeldi explains what motivated him to acquire Velo3D, why he felt it necessary to launch a parts production business, and why he was comfortable listing the company on the Nasdaq so soon.
He also highlights the importance of ongoing materials qualification programmes with DOD organisations and provides insight on his plan to make Velo3D a century-old company.
On this episode of the Additive Insight podcast, we're joined by Rapid Liquid Print CEO Schendy Kernizan.
MIT spinout Rapid Liquid Print made waves earlier this year when it introduced its Levity 3D printer at RAPID + TCT, bringing a unique process to the market that aims to overcome the current limitations of 3D printing technology.
On this episode, we discuss the technological advancements behind its ‘gravity free manufacturing’ process, the applications and materials its unlocking, and why RLP is intentionally positioning itself, not as a 3D printing company, but as a manufacturing process that could spark the world’s next great idea.
On this episode of the Additive Insight podcast, we're joined by Croom Medical R&D Manager Dr Shane Keaveney.
Croom Medical is an orthopaedic device manufacturer that produces more than 250k implants every year. The company was founded in the 1980s and began exploring the suitability of additive manufacturing technology for the production of such devices around 15 years ago.
Today, Croom Medical would consider itself an expert user of laser powder bed fusion, having deployed the technology to create porous structures that facilitate bone in growth for several years. The company also commenced an R&D project in partnership with Global Advanced Metals on the 3D printing of tantalum in 2020.
As Keaveney joins the Additive Insight podcast, he shares his thoughts on how materials development is helping the company advance with AM, explains why Croom has focused so much R&D effort on the printing of tantalum, and details how it works with organisations outside of the medical sector.

On this episode of the Additive Insight podcast, we're joined by Lumas Polymers CEO Luke Rodgers.
Rodgers has worked in the additive manufacturing space for more than 15 years, serving roles related to materials development at Stratasys and later Jabil.
A few years into his stint at Jabil, the company launched a business dedicated to the development of specialized materials for a range of polymer 3D printing processes. Jabil Engineered Materials would go on to launch products such as the patented polyketone 5000 powder, but this year was the subject of an acquisition by Lumas Polymers.
Purchasing patents, technical capabilities, expertise and equipment, Lumas Polymers is now set up to continue what Jabil Engineered Materials started, with Rodgers at the helm.
Throughout our conversation, Rodgers reflects on the achievements of Jabil Engineered Materials, explains why Jabil sold the business to Lumas Polymers, and what we can expect from the company’s product portfolio.
Rodgers also provides a temperature check on the AM industry and shares his vision for Lumas Polymers.
