Advanced Air Mobility with Industrial 3D Printing:
Application Development for Next Gen Drones
Sebastian Frank from EOS Additive Minds hosted Emil Wörgötter from DyeMansion to discuss critical post-processing solutions for 3D printed drone components. The session highlighted DyeMansion's integrated Print-to-Product workflow, covering cleaning, surfacing, chemical smoothing, and coloring processes. Key benefits include improved mechanical properties through vapor fuel surfacing that seals surfaces against moisture and oil absorption, enhanced aerodynamics through reduced surface roughness, and customizable coloring for tactical applications. The vapor fuel process significantly improves fatigue resistance and part longevity while maintaining dimensional accuracy. DyeMansion's automated cleaning and finishing systems enable consistent, repeatable results crucial for serial production, with over 1,200 systems deployed globally across 500 customers in 50 countries.

![Advancements in Cutting-Edge AM Research from Ohio State University | Additive Snack Podcast
Imagine printing a car part for the racing industry as your first additive manufacturing (AM) project, earning a process engineer position with Honda Aerospace, and following that up by becoming the AM technology leader at Ohio State University. This is the inspiring story of today’s guest.
Joining host Fabian Alefeld is Ben DiMarco, AM Technology Leader and Principal Engineer at Ohio State University’s Center for Design and Manufacturing Excellence (CDME). In this conversation, they explore Ben’s contributions to lattice structures, process monitoring, and innovative technologies such as nLIGHT and cold metal fusion. They also touch on Ben’s role and passion for workforce development.

![3D Printing Offers Opportunity to Custom Bike Designers with Kris Henry | Additive Snack Podcast
Bike enthusiasts understand the importance of quality welds, dynamic suspensions, and low-maintenance bikes. But to have a bike custom designed to their unique specifications is a dream come true. Today’s guest not only builds custom bikes he designs the parts using additive manufacturing (AM).
Today, host Fabian Alefeld speaks with the owner and founder of 44 Bikes, Kris Henry, and EOS’ Spencer Thompson. Kris shares his passion for creating custom bikes and describes how he uses the design and supply chain aspects of AM to make handcrafted custom bikes accessible to a larger user group. Spencer offers insights into the state of AM adoption by small business owners, highlights the partnership opportunities available to manufacturers, and shares the hurdles independent builders face in the AM space.

Key Takeaways:
[2:11] 44 Bikes was born of Kris’ love of bicycles and his passion for designing things.
[8:48] The benefits of additive manufacturing in building custom bicycles.
[20:07] 3D printing offers small shop owners and bike enthusiasts a whole new level of design.
[26:29] Supply chain challenges and speed to market increase AM adoption in small businesses.
[34:22] When only a few parts are needed, finding manufacturers to partner with is a big hurdle.
[36:03] The lack of protocols or universal standards for additive manufacturing creates a huge learning curve for independent builders.
