Elon Said I’m Wrong | Print Software Sucks | Interview with 3D Print Stop | Slant 3D Podcast Ep. 172
Portals: tinyurl.com/38pdkzuc
Here is our new oilstick Listing
Elon Musk says 3D printing is too slow and expensive for volume manufacturing. Gabe disagrees—and explains why scalability is about the entire manufacturing system, not how fast one individual machine produces a part.
We also dig into why 3D printing software and slicers still feel unnecessarily complicated, why AI may have finally crossed a major usability threshold, and how that is already changing the way Slant 3D thinks about hiring and automation.
Plus, updates on Portals and Teleport growth, new Slant 3D API improvements, Oil Stick’s Amazon rollout, factory capacity heading into the holiday season, and a conversation with Jordan from 3D Print Stop about building a profitable physical 3D printing retail store.
