AM RadioAM Posts We Saw On Social MediaAdditive manufacturing (AM) tends to see popular media coverage when a consumer good is 3D printed. 3D printed houses and fashion grace headlines at the moment. On social media, however, additive manufacturing is a daily topic of conversation for users, students and entrepreneurs. As digital editor for Additive Manufacturing Media, I have the pleasure of observing and engaging in some of those conversations. On this episode of the AM Radio podcast, Peter Zelinski and I review eight AM-related social media posts that caught my eye in recent weeks. Among the topics we discuss are machine modifications, a deba...2023-02-2735 min

AM RadioAdditive and Composites, Composites and AdditiveAdditive manufacturing is creating new opportunities for fiber-reinforced polymer composite materials. This has implications for the promise of AM and implications for the composites industry. In this episode, Peter Zelinski of Additive Manufacturing Media is joined by Jeff Sloan of sister brand CompositesWorld. They talk about composites replacing metal, large-format 3D printing for tooling, and other aspects of the overlap between these two worlds. Also, what does the acceptance and adoption of composites into part production, and the way this played out in previous decades, signal about the way ahead for an even newer disruptive technology, additive manufacturing?

AM RadioWhen 3D Printed Composites Replace Metals, Plus Blockchain for Additive Can 3D printed polymers reinforced with chopped or continuous fibers be a suitable replacement for metal parts? In this episode, Julia Hider and Stephanie Hendrixson discuss at least three scenarios where this is taking place--and two of them happen to involve training devices related to aerospace. (Possibly a precursor to printed composites replacing metals on flight-worthy aircraft?) Then, our hosts dive into blockchain and its usefulness for protecting and distributing 3D printable files. This episode is brought to you by CompositesWorld. Mentioned in this episode: How Werco replaces metal aircraft co...2022-04-0419 min

AM RadioFinishing's Role in Additive ManufacturingA 3D printed part is rarely complete straight off the printer, and many additive manufacturers are accustomed to performing some level of cleaning and surface finishing. But postprocessing need not stop there. Electroplating, powder coating, anodizing and other processes can add improve the appearance, provide greater resistance and add functionality to 3D printed parts. On this episode of AM Radio, host Stephanie Hendrixson welcomes the show’s first guest expert: Scott Francis, editor in chief of Products Finishing (a sister brand to Additive Manufacturing, published by Gardner Business Media).
