Episode 8: 3D printing in the food and beverages industry

In our latest 3D printing podcast, we chat to several experts working in (or alongside) the food and beverages industry. They reveal how additive manufacturing has already transformed this sector, and discuss the impact it will have in the future. 

The industry was already experiencing seismic change before the COVID-19 pandemic, with increasing numbers of companies incorporating 3D printing into their workflow. Now, various innovators working in the food and beverages sector share their current experiences, plus some insight into their strategic AM plans for the coming years. 

Our first guest is Ultimaker’s Jeremy Evers. As part of his role as Application Engineer, Jeremy travels around the world, supporting businesses with their 3D printing applications. Over the years, he’s worked with numerous companies in the food and beverages sector. He explains how these multinational businesses are using AM to streamline processes, boost output, and increase in-house capabilities. 

We next speak with industrial 3D design and additive manufacturing adoption consultant Steve Cox who works closely with traditional manufacturers seeking to test the waters of 3D printing within their businesses for the first time. 

And we conclude the episode with our conversation with writer and consultant Joris Peels (3DPrint.com). He gives us the journalist’s perspective on the industry’s developments, and how much potential 3D printing has to offer companies operating in this sector.
