Recreate the Future is a business and tech podcast hosted by startup founder Manuel Siskowski. In each season he interviews cutting edge experts from one technology niche. Season 1 will be all about the future of production based on decentral manufacturing and 3D printing. The 30min episodes are deep dives with experts to learn something new each time.

3D Print Shops and Commercial Licenses - Uriah from Cubee 3D I S1E01

Uriah is the founder of Cubee 3D - a marketplace and network of 2,500 3D print shops. Check out the episode one of season one to dive into the field of commercial licensing, print shop business and the question if we will all have a printer at home one day.

Creating a 3D Printing Marketplace - Mikolas from Printables I S1E02

Everyone in 3D printing knows Prusa printers. But today we want to better understand why and how they built their super successful marketplace Printables. Mikolas from Prusa joins us to explain their current strategies, what updates are coming and how many people are working just on the slicing software. In addition we go in detail on the status and outlook of brands supplying their desins to users.

How to monetize digital 3D printable products as a designer - Ales Boem I S1E03

Ales Boem is one of the most prominent designers in 3D printing. His incredible works range from every day household items to beautiful vases. In this episode Ales share his vision of product creation for the future and how the job of designers shift including their business model. The big question is how to monetize your designs in this completely digital world? Finally we dive deeper into sustainability and critically challenge how sustainable printing products can be.

Circular Manufacturing & Batch Production - Julien from Batch.Works I S1E04

What would happen if we completely rethink production? Well, Julien did exactly that. His company Batch.Works offers circular manufacturing of products that takes the whole product life cycle into consideration. We talk about the three stages of Pre-Making, Making and Re-Making and what this means for product design and manufacturing.

Mass Customization & Design Automation - Vegter from trinckle 3D I S1E05

Low production quantities and customization are key benefits of additive manufacturing. In mass production and injection moulding design costs are neglectable. But with low volumes the cost of design and engineering per piece can become problematic. With a shortage of labour on the horizon design automation can be a key solution. Vegter from trinckle 3D joins us to explain what design automation is, when AI will become relevant here as well and how we can achieve mass customization. You can definetly be sure: designing parts will become much easier and the user interfaces will change dramatically.

Plastic Recycling & 3D Printing Materials - Ronan from Reflow I S1E06

Let's face it: we are already deep inside the plastic crisis. 3D printing can be either part of the problem or a solution to it. Reflow decided to work on the solution side. Reflow has pioneered an approach to recycle discarded plastic into a range of exceptional, sustainable materials for 3D printing. Ronan from Reflow finally joins us to discuss the huge topic of plastic recycling. What's the state of recycled 3D printing filament? How do waste streams work and what can be used for new materials? The world of materials is super excititing and we all should dig much deeper into the world of the stuff that we consume everyday. This episode should be a great starting point.

User Generated Design in 3D Printing - Pierre from Cults 3D I S1E07

The team of Cults has managed to gather 60,000 designers to create over 1,000,000 3D printable designs. The single largest independent marketplace for things to print is the go-to destination for paid designs and commercialization for creators. Learn how they built their huge inventory of more than a million designs solely by building a good marketplace infrastructure for users and designers. We discuss a lot about the future of designs, spare parts and when finally the big brands will join the game. This episode is a great start to better understand the mechanics of marketplaces and how to thrive in the world of additive manufacturing.
