With 3DTI, we have the ability to grow liquids, gels and pastes into any shape in high velocity. From bacteria, mycellium or yeast, we can help nature grow in a pre-set 3D shape. . . I find it fascinating where working together with nature has evolved into a symbiosis. Nature couldn’t make 3D yeast, but we also couldn’t multiply cells without it’s involvement. Nature can grow an apple tree, but it couldn’t fabricate a tree that grows 40 fruits from the same tree. . . This art project from Sam Van Aken is fascinating. Using an old technique of chip grafting and a lot of patience (8-10 years of patience) the result looks like that of an Avatar movie. . . By carefully cutting branches of various fruit trees and taping them back together, the pours slowly reconnect and the roots of the stem pump water to all the branches, giving the tree an ability to grow countless fruits from the same stem. . . . If you are interested in projects where 3D tech and nature are starting to blend as one, call me and let’s talk 3D. . . . .. .. #jannekyttanen #3dguy #3DTI #3dprinting #samvanaken #vanaken #40fruit #hybrid #artandscience #syracuseeu #chipgrafting #avatar #3dtechnology #bionic #nature
Are you a 3D company that believes in sharing ideas and open innovation? If not, what are you afraid of? Especially when all metrics point to the fact that by sharing ideas as early as possible with a diverse group of people it leads to better products which equates to a stronger bottom line. . . If you are a company who is not tapping into the open innovation mindset, you should be more afraid of becoming relic. To me, it is a lot like evolution - its natural and you can’t force it. You can plant a seed and nourish it a bit, but after a while, it starts taking its own course and there is nothing you can do about it. The same pattern is happening in companies today. Technologies are exponentially improving in all directions at the same time and it is physically impossible for companies to do it all on their own anymore. . . Which is why I believe that in order to survive, you will need to collaborate. For example, if you were at @formnext you may have noticed that Nexa 3D and XYZ Printing came out with an identical printer (different colors) around the same time. Or maybe I was the only one aware of this because I designed them both. Either way, the point is that this was done on purpose and in collaboration with each other. Why? Because both companies knew where their strengths and weaknesses lie and by working together they would be able to enter the market at the same time without competition but instead with stronger value. . . In addition to designing the printers, I enjoyed being part of these open innovation discussions. Seeing the bigger picture and making connections is something I am very passionate about. If your wondering if this type of collaboration would benefit your organization, let's talk 3D and I will help you build some bridges.

I love VR and I think its going to exponentially grow its market and applications like 3D printing. . . I am especially curious how VR will play a part in the future of gaming, which is already a 100bln business. That’s larger than movies and music combined. . . What I didn’t expect is that IKEA is already busy creating custom 3D furniture for this market. This crowd obviously has far different requirements since BILLY, KARLSTAD or BJORN may not be on their wish list. . . If you are a gamer and are looking into getting into 3D printing as well, here is another set of custom gear you can create. Did you know that there is an industrial quality 3D desktop printer, which let’s you print soft rubber and hard plastic from the same machine? You can easily match your phone, your face and your ears for a custom unit. If you use the gear for the whole day, comfort is most likely no1 on your list. . .

“People don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it. And what you do simply proves what you believe.” @simonsinek . . When most tech companies are started by engineers, it's understandable that when you are in the weeds of developing your alpha software and hardware it is harder to see the bigger picture. Even if you have passion for what you are creating, you must look at the other details, including how to communicate to your customer so they care. . . When I joined 3D Systems in 2011 as Creative Director, the discussion about updating the logo of the company wasn’t necessarily a daily discussion, but a weekly one for sure. Nevertheless it took about 6 years before it finally became a reality. When you have embarked on a trajectory many years ago, even a small change has extensive implications across the board and each stakeholder in the meeting room has a valid point. The designers just want make something iconic, while the CFO needs to agree on the costs and marketing needs to agree on how to implement the change from each flier to the toilet paper etc. . . If you are embarking on a journey of creating a new 3D brand/company, give me a shout. I can help set you on the right trajectory right from the start. Let's talk 3D - schedule a 15 min call with me.

Nature is so fascinating. 🌿 Why things grow may still be a mystery, but how things grow, we are slowly starting to get a hang of it. And what excites me the most is how Biology, Chemistry and 3D printing are all slowly starting to find common grounds especially in 3D bioprinting. . . My main interest around all this is in the world of manufacturing, especially as it pertains to 3DTI. Did you know that with 3DTI, we are able to grow any liquid, paste or gel type substance into any 3D shape? Solving challenges for typical small batch customization such as speed of production, scalability, excessive labor or even a lack of applications. . . Although it will still take some time to mature, there are plenty of areas we can look at which offer short term wins. For example my latest obsession, mycelium, which is the root structure of mushrooms. In essence, it is a programmable material enabling us to develop high performance and sustainable materials. . . One of the leading companies that caught my attention which is working with mycelium is @ecovative - a perfect partner for 3DTI and a great excuse to grow some mushrooms. 🤔 . .

Do you know what I love? When technology is starting to work! What I don’t love, is that I didn’t design it. 😮 . . Hands up to @autodesk and @nasa for their creative Jet Propulsion Laboratory - using generative design and 3D printing to their advantage when designing interplanetary landers. 🙌 . .
