![]() ![]() ![]() Talking Additive launches new episodes on Tuesdays, every two weeks. Welcome to the 22nd episode for the Talking Additive podcast. How does adopting additive manufacturing positively benefit a business today? How is the role of 3D printing evolving within design, manufacturing, education, and our lives. On Talking Additive we sit down with business leaders, innovators, and allies, to discuss the impact of adopting 3D printing in their businesses. More on this and other topics on Talking Additive! And what he sees as the trajectory of FFF technology bundled with the assistance of increasingly sophisticated automation software, such as SmartSlice for Cura. This week we sit down with Doug Kenik, the Vice President of Product at Teton Simulation to talk about Teton Sim and their flagship product SmartSlice for Cura.Īnd through this discussion, cover Doug's background as a researcher into failure simulation with composite materials, his work as a product manager on Generative Design at Autodesk. As Teton Sim promises on their homepage: "better parts, printed faster, and with less material." With this tool designers can assign safety requirements for loads for their parts, select performance materials right inside of Cura, and then use Teton Sim’s patent pending technology to automatically assign slicing parameters that make it possible to reduce print time by 30 to 50% without sacrificing the functional requirements. ![]() ![]() In September, 2020 Teton Simulation launched a unique FFF slicing optimization tool, SmartSlice for Cura. Matt Griffin: Hello, and welcome to Talking Additive Episode 22. You know, I talk to people and material suppliers specifically, a few noted that this is very similar to what injection molding was like back when it started to become more mainstream. "There's a few things in the additive space that I just find so amazing. ULTIMAKER INNOVATOR HIGHLIGHT: Stick around to meet Tom Gray of Make 48, a highlight from the 2020 Ultimaker Innovators list!ĭoug Kenik: "That's really important to understand that you have so much control over an additive process, especially around extrusion, that you can drastically change the behavior of a component just by changing two or three things, maybe one thing." Firehole was acquired by Autodesk in 2013, and Doug was moved into Product Management. Before that, he worked as a developer and application engineer at Firehole Composites. Prior to joining Teton, Doug served as Product Manager for Generative Design at Autodesk, where he helped commercialize the technology from the office of the CTO, take it through a Beta program for customer feedback, then bring it to market with a global team. The company’s aim is to replace the standard print-break-repeat prototyping cycle to speed up development and reduce production time and cost. Teton Simulation develops software technology that enables automatic validation and optimization of 3D print parameters to ensure performance and manufacturing requirements are met. Matt and Doug will also delve into Doug’s extensive professional background, his expertise in researching the performance of continuous strand composite materials in injection molding applications, and the trajectory of FFF technology. As Teton Simulation promises on its home page: “Better parts, printed faster, and with less material.” This week, host Matt Griffin sits with Doug Kenik, VP of Product at Teton Simulation, to speak about the company and its flagship product, SmartSlice for Cura. SmartSlice, which was launched in 2020, embeds into existing slicer programs, assigning slicing parameters that make it possible to highly optimize printing time without sacrificing functional requirements. ![]()
