In this conversation, Joris Peels and Brent Wright interview Duann Scott, the head of the 3MF Consortium, about 3D printing, software, and the future of file formats. They discuss the benefits of the 3MF file format, its security features, and the implications for the 3D printing industry. The conversation also covers lattice structures, implicit files, and the importance of data communication in 3D printing. The conversation delves into the use of implicit modeling and lattice structures in 3D printing, the benefits of bypassing the meshing process, and the potential for streaming slicing. It also explores the concept of systems-level approach in design, the role of computational workflows, and the importance of seeking expert advice. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the speed of iteration and the liberating nature of additive manufacturing.
