Advanced Post-Processing Unlocks 3D Printed Production Tools for Regulated Industries
This EOS DyeMansion session demonstrated how advanced post-processing enables 3D printed production tools for regulated industries. A media-free gripper showcased the transformation from raw printed parts to production-ready components.
DyeMansion's Vapor Fuse technology uses FDA-certified benzyl alcohol to create watertight surfaces without material removal, enabling millions of operational cycles. Their workflow includes cleaning, surfacing, and coloring with full regulatory documentation.
Key insight: Work backwards from end-product requirements. With proper certification and process control, manufacturers can deploy 3D printed production tools in regulated environments like healthcare and food manufacturing.

![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.
