Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AI Update in Additive Manufacturing: Design, Process, Workforce and Industry impact
Q: What were some of your more surprising experiences with these tools?
A standout experience involved using a Grasshopper/Rhino plug-in (Raven) to generate a parametric Visa Mount with a camera tripod attachment in a single shot, purely from natural language prompts and without manual UI interaction, illustrating how NLP-driven geometry can rapidly produce workable, adjustable designs.
AI Update in Additive Manufacturing: Design, Process, Workforce and Industry impact
Q: So maybe give us your current high level perception. So where is AI in the additive sector today?
AI in additive manufacturing has progressed from hype to practical capability, with improvements in language models, visual models, and surrogate modeling that enable text-to-geometry, design intent capture, and data-driven experimentation. While not yet delivering full design autonomy, it is increasingly useful for reducing repetitive work and enabling more ambitious design exploration, provided we also invest in data quality, physics-based training data, and standardized metadata.
How AM is Supporting the Grid
Q: What are some of the key learnings but also pitfalls that you fell into that could help somebody?
Find those killer applications that can demonstrate value, and focus on educating both engineers and the business side, especially finance.
AM in Turbomachinery: Deep dive in Applications, Materials, Production & Qualification
Q: When was that moment where you realized the true potential of the technology in the turbine machinery sector?
For me, it was when we were designing a completely new combustion system, and we developed a new approach... printed basically by end of the next day, and then in the next few days, it went into the test facility to be tested and worked there successfully.
Recent Policy Changes Affecting AM, Gen Z & New AM-Adopting Industries
Q: How has it changed to cover Additive?
Matt describes how it has become less strange to connect additive with daily life and the news cycle compared to previous years.
