The Biggest Influencer in 3D Printing - Joel Telling, The 3D Printing Nerd

Consumer 3D printing and industrial additive manufacturing (AM) are more closely related than many in the industry realize. Supply chain considerations, material development, and the ever-growing need for a robust workforce are valid concerns for both movements. 

 

In this episode, Host Fabian Alefeld speaks with YouTube influencer and content creator Joel Telling, the 3D Printing Nerd. Together, they dive into the fascinating interface between consumer and industrial 3D printing. Joel transitioned from software development to becoming a leading voice in the 3D printing industry with more than 600k subscribers to his 3D Printing Nerd YouTube channel. Joel is a key voice in the industry, an additive expert himself, and a friendly face to EOS in the 3D printing industry.
