  5. The HARDEST Thing to do in 3D Printing - Making Awesome 169 (nice)

    16 januari 2024 · 1 uur 44 min

    Afspelen
    3D Printing itself is not as difficult as you think, but we see a VERY common pitfall in 3D Printing: Design. The tech around printers has gotten SO GOOD, but the learning curve for design is still pretty vertical. Lees meer

    Knowledge bases are seemingly always outdated and getting started is daunting and with programs like @adskFusion changing their UI often, even tutorials a few months old are not very useful.

    So, let's talk about this, and how we may look to solve it, because unlocking your ability to #3ddesign will unlock your ability to 3D Print without frustration!

    Topics to cover:

    Why design is so hard

    Limitations

    Open vs closed source

    Free vs paid

    AND MORE!!

  10. Patents in the 3D Printing Industry. The Right and Wrong!! - Making Awesome 163

    21 november 2023 · 1 uur 27 min

    Afspelen
    Patents, a dirty word in the 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing industries for hobbyists, but as you get closer to professional and industrial, they become a part of doing business. You can use a patent in a way that benefits a community as a whole or as a way to stifle competition and maintain market superiority. Let's talk about how patents can protect innovations and drive growth, particularly for small businesses transitioning from hobby to full-time ventures in the 'making' space. But there are some potential drawbacks, including limitations on creativity and the risk of stifling industry-wide innovation. Lees meer

    Topics to cover:

    How patents were originally intended

    How patents are currently used

    How the PTAB has hurt small inventors

    How to use patents correctly

    Why patents are often used to hurt rather than help

    AND MORE!!!

    Contracts. No one likes them, some, recently of course, decide that they do not matter for them, and violate the deal. This is bad. Let's delve into the vital role that contracts play in our personal and professional lives. Join us as we explore why contracts are essential for clarity, trust, and legal protection in various contexts, from business partnerships to everyday transactions. Specifically Non Disclosure Agreements (NDA) and Media Embargoes have been at the forefront in the 3D Printing industry as of late. These agreements matter and allow companies to not only market and build hype but limit when content creators and journalists can publish videos and reviews. Lees meer

    Contracts in Business

    Clarity and Communication

    Enforceability

    NDA vs Embargo

    Common Pitfalls

  18. "I WILL JUST FIX IT MYSELF" 3D Printing and Right to Repair!! - Making Awesome S3E51

    19 september 2023 · 1 uur 32 min

    Afspelen
    Right to Repair is a BIG deal and 3D Printing is an industry where the "Fine I will just do it myself" kind of people will thrive. Giving control to repair back to the consumer turns the normal game of cat and mouse for parts around on the manufacturers, with some taking note, and others pushing back. 3D Printing shows that with a few hours or less on CAD, some filament and/or resin, you can solve a lot of problems around your house and feel empowered by not relying on companies to sell you the parts to do it. It is an awesome feeling, so lets talk about it! Lees meer

    Topics to cover:

    Origins of Right to Repair and why they matter

    How 3D Printing naturally compliments

    Limitations of 3D Printing in repairing

    Intellectual Property Issues

    Sustainability

    Manufacturer pushback

    What can WE do to make a difference

    AND MORE!!!

    What is a reasonable price to charge for your time?

    Why is it reasonable?

  40. Common Business Failures and How to AVOID THEM!! - Making Awesome S3E29

    10 april 2023 · 2 uur 14 min

    Afspelen
    This week we are talking all about failure. Yes, it happens, and it is INCREDIBLY common in businesses, especially new ones. Some failures are common across any small business, others more focused on the #makerbusiness. Let's talk about them, how to see them before they are a HUGE issue and then how to prevent, and deal with them should that arise. Lees meer

    Topics to cover:

    Lack of market demand: A business may fail if there is not enough demand for the product or service it offers.

    Poor management: Incompetent or inexperienced management can lead to poor decision-making, inadequate planning, and insufficient cash flow.

    Insufficient capital: A business may fail if it doesn't have enough money to cover its operating expenses and stay afloat.

    Lack of differentiation: If a business fails to differentiate itself from competitors, it may struggle to attract customers.

    Failure to adapt: Businesses need to adapt to changes in the market, customer preferences, and technology. Failure to do so can lead to obsolescence.

    Ineffective marketing: Even the best products or services won't sell if they aren't marketed effectively. Businesses need to have a strong marketing strategy to reach potential customers.

    Poor customer service: Customers are the lifeblood of any business. If a business fails to provide good customer service, it may lose customers and harm its reputation.

    Economic factors: Economic downturns, recessions, and other external factors can negatively impact a business's profitability and viability.

    Competition: Competition can make it difficult for a business to attract customers and generate revenue, particularly if it's in a crowded or oversaturated market.

    Supply Chain and Scaling issues: Keeping a flow of supply can be difficult as scaling occurs keeping the business from growing as it needs to.

    Pricing: DONT BE TOO CHEAP!!!

    AND MORE!!

    This week we will talk about Additive vs. Subtractive Manufacturing, or more commonly known as 3D Printing vs CNC Milling vs Injection Molding. Each has their own value with 3D printing being amazing for short run prototypes, initial small batch manufacturing, and general rapid prototyping. CNC Milling is great when you want to make metal, polymer, or specific parts that are not easily made on a 3D printer, but with even entry level machines costing 5-10x of a 3D Printer, the cost of ownership goes up a ton. When it comes to production nothing can really compete with Injection Molding, but the upfront costs can be VERY scary! Let's talk about it! Lees meer
