The team of Cults has managed to gather 60,000 designers to create over 1,200,000 3D printable designs. The single largest independent marketplace for things to print is the go-to destination for paid designs and commercialization for creators.

Pierre Ayroles is one of the co-founders and joins us in this episode to better understand user generated designs. Learn how they built their huge inventory of more than a million designs solely by building a good marketplace infrastructure for users and designers. We discuss a lot about the future of designs, spare parts and when finally the big brands will join the game. This episode is a great start to better understand the mechanics of marketplaces and how to thrive in the world of additive manufacturing.

Let's face it: we are already deep inside the plastic crisis. 3D printing can be either part of the problem or a solution to it. Reflow decided to work on the solution side. Reflow has pioneered an approach to recycle discarded plastic into a range of exceptional, sustainable materials for 3D printing.

Ronan from Reflow finally joins us to discuss the huge topic of plastic recycling. What's the state of recycled 3D printing filament? How do waste streams work and what can be used for new materials? The world of materials is super excititing and we all should dig much deeper into the world of the stuff that we consume everyday. This episode should be a great starting point.

Low production quantities and customization are key benefits of additive manufacturing. In mass production and injection moulding design costs are neglectable. But with low volumes the cost of design and engineering per piece can become problematic. With a shortage of labour on the horizon design automation can be a key solution.

Vegter from trinckle 3D joins us to explain what design automation is, when AI will become relevant here as well and how we can achieve mass customization. You can definetly be sure: designing parts will become much easier and the user interfaces will change dramatically.
