New Season of Talking Additive Podcast: "Because the world needs 3D printing now"
Season 3 premieres with Ultimaker's CEO Jürgen von Hollen on the need for responsive manufacturing during COVID-19
Talking Additive, the 3D printing podcast exploring the impact of additive manufacturing, launches season 3 today. The third season kicks off with Jürgen von Hollen, CEO at Ultimaker on the need for local additive manufacturing at times where markets are constantly adapting, and global supply chains are failing. Furthermore, customers and allies share first-hand learnings on the impact of 3D printing both professionally and personally.
Talking Additive, hosted by Matt Griffin, Director of Community Development at Ultimaker, already inspired thousands of listeners worldwide with in-depth conversations on the impact of additive manufacturing in organizations like L'Oréal, ERIKS, The US Naval Academy, and more. Season 3 charts the increase in capability and business value that FFF 3D printing delivers to companies through the lens of the rising role of 3D printing software.
The first episodes feature:
Ep. 21, March 23rd: "Meet Ultimaker's new CEO, Jürgen von Hollen"
Ep. 22, April 6th: "Optimizing Ultimaker Cura Slicing for Function, Doug Kenik VP of Product at Teton Simulation."
Ep. 23, April 27th: "Embedding STEAM across the curriculum with the 3D Makerspace, Caroline Keep, SPARK Penketh."
This season also features a new mini-series around the Future of Work and an Ultimaker 10th Anniversary series where the first decade of desktop 3D printings rapid evolution will be celebrated.
Jürgen von Hollen, CEO at Ultimaker: "I joined Ultimaker during the global pandemic. Talking Additive gave me an even better understanding of why the world needs 3D printing now. It cannot be that companies let failures in their supply chain impact their level of innovation, production, and flexibility while there are fully integrated additive manufacturing solutions available that help to take back control. I'm truly passionate about this and therefore very honoured to speak with a 3D printing expert like Matt in Talking Additive."

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs
Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
