And we have another new podcast for you! This time Max and I discuss Formnext and I (hopefully) regale you with news from the front. We discuss how immense formnext was and what I thought that the most exciting things were that I saw. Then we make an abrupt pivot to discuss the ethics of 3D printing covering the right to access, digital divide, biohacking, medical hacking, people using 3D printing to enhance themselves for sports, radical plastic surgery, everyone wanting to be the same and a bugbear of mine, the prospect of Mark Zuckerberg living forever. We hope you enjoy this we really had fun with this one and can’t wait to give you more.
