In today's Slant 3D podcast, we dive deep into the world of 3D printing filament production, discuss the challenges faced in the industry, and explore the possibility of creating our own filament brand. We also touch on 3D Systems' recent fine, the innovative Titan Craft project, and Nano Dimension's attempt to buy Stratasys. Find out why we're considering entering the filament market and how we could differentiate ourselves by providing high-quality, affordable PLA or PETG filament. We also explore the benefits of producing and selling filament, including increased accessibility and addressing problems in filament manufacturing by being end users ourselves. We delve into the recent news of 3D Systems being fined $27 million for sharing proprietary government files, stressing the importance of protecting client files in the 3D printing industry. We also discuss the innovative Titan Craft project, which enables users to create custom 3D models and figurines, and the potential for similar software in other areas of 3D modeling. Lastly, we discuss Nano Dimension's bid to buy Stratasys for $1.3 billion, providing some background on both companies and their respective focuses within the 3D printing industry. Don't forget to leave your feedback on our filament production idea and how it could potentially improve the industry and lower costs for people trying to create new things.
