Episode 22 of Printing Money comes with a twist: this episode is from a live recording on the Formnext stage at IMTS on September 9, 2024. We were lucky enough to have Danny joined by Dave Burns (Senior Advisor, AMT) for an executive perspective on the additive manufacturing (AM) markets, replete with decades of first-hand experience, first as CEO of Gleason Corporation and then as a co-founder and President of ExOne (now part of Desktop Metal).
First we talk through Dave’s career, with a focus on the founding of ExOne in 2005 through its IPO in 2013. Then we view the current state of the 3D printing industry, discussing market capitalizations, transaction values, and investing for the long game. This is followed by a look ahead at the drivers to propel the AM industry into maturity, with a focus on applications. Last, we have the heretofore unique chance to field questions from our live audience.
Please forgive us any audio imperfections. Considering this was recorded live using an iPhone and amid a crowd of 100,000+ IMTS attendees, we are proud of it, and thankful to have such a great podcast producer (thank you, Jake!).
So, please enjoy Episode 22, stay tuned for coming episodes, and browse our recent discussions while you wait for the next ones.
