 WTFFF 257: 3D Printing With Pellets | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:10:10

An interesting and new type of Tech Tuesday that came from listener Cory Smith where full scale office chairs, the seat and back, were 3D printed in a single piece. To be able to create this chair design the printer is a modified delta 3D printer that uses plastic pellets instead of filament. Another good advancement and we can see that more furniture scale parts are being made.

The quality of the colors they sent actually made the test 3D printed pieces look less like a cheap plastic item and made them look more real and higher quality. Be sure to check out the blog post for photos of the colors and our test prints.

 WTFFF 244: Estimating the Power of 3D Printing with Ron Hollis of CLSI | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:43:22

An incredible interview with one of the earliest adopters and mover and shaker in 3D printing, Ron Hollis. He's been fascinated with 3D printing since the early '90s back when it was only referred to as rapid prototyping. He has a wealth of knowledge and business lessons to learn from such as how current 3D print companies should follow his business model with Quick Parts and how they are missing out on utilizing a key asset of their business. It was fascinating to hear about where everything we are doing today came from and why this economy has worked, along with some surprises that came from potential business failures.

 WTFFF 243: Can One 3D Printer Really Fit All? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:15:51

Tom and Tracy Hazzard dive deeper into a question that came up in the previous episode. Are most 3D printers on the market today jack knives? If a 3D printer is trying to be all things to every market, are they serving any specific market well? Maybe making 3D printers specific to the exact objects you want to make would produce better results. They even give a business concept out to all WTFFF?! listeners to illustrate this point.
