![From the Court to the Lab: The Story of the Airless Prototype Basketball - Additive Snack Podcast
Additive manufacturing (AM) is not only a tool to enhance the performance of applications and create more agile supply chains – it’s also becoming a tool to increase brand value and awareness. Today, we dive into the story of the innovative engineering and viral marketing of the first ever 3D printed, Airless Prototype Basketball developed by Wilson Sporting Goods.
Host Fabian Alefeld is joined by Dr. Nadine Lippa, Innovation Manager at Wilson Sporting Goods, and Tyler Webb, Sports Marketer and Co-founder of Uncle Charlie. Nadine, the brilliant mind who led the product development of Wilson’s Airless Prototype Basketball, shares behind-the-scenes moments from the project’s origin to meeting Shaquille O’Neal and Mark Cuban courtside. Tyler, the creator of the viral video that sent ripples across the internet, shares how he made the Airless Prototype Basketball the most-seen additive manufacturing application ever created.

![AMs Role in the Nuclear Industry with Westinghouses Adam Travis
The nuclear industry is an underestimated technology that has a substantial impact on daily life. With an uptime average of ninety-three percent, nuclear power plants in the U.S. are three times more reliable than low-carbon technologies. Plus, that reliability makes the technology a smart choice to use as a backbone for future grids.
To gain a wider understanding of nuclear power and the future role of additive manufacturing (AM) in it, Host Fabian Alefeld speaks with the Global AM Program Leader of Westinghouse Nuclear, Adam Travis. Along with other achievements in the AM space, Adam and Westinghouse recently celebrated the printing of their 1000th fuel flow plate for use in the nuclear industry. Adam shares Westinghouse’s AM journey and provides a glimpse into what is next for Westinghouse in the realm of nuclear power.
