And now as well, as I'm working more directly with companies, either through training or consulting on site, again, that conversation certainly has shifted, and I think we've hit an inflection point, you know, within the past one to two years, right, this has evolved to the point where a lot of things that we didn't know, or were uncertain about hadn't been figured out, we do know them. And it's been interesting, as you said, over the past 10 years, how much that conversation has changed.

And so we ended up doing a lot of research, both basic and applied with companies, DOD and other organizations trying to help them understand sort of the what, the why and the how of additive manufacturing. But we've been up and running over a decade now, have a range of both powder bed fusion and directed energy deposition and binder jetting, and a little bit of everything else.


Sure, yep, I'm co-director on CIMP-3D, our Center for Innovative Material Processing through Direct Digital Deposition, fancy way of saying we got a bunch of metal 3D printers and get to do cool projects.
