Ep. 28: Jonas Galle of ValCUN: Desktop Metal 3D Printing is Coming Sooner Than You Think

This episode is brought to you by PCBWay. Check them out at https://jle.vi/pcbway for all your fabrication needs!Jonas Galle is founder and CEO of ValCUN. ValCUN is a Belgian based company that has developed a new technology for metal 3D printing with the focus on aluminium with the goal to make metal additive manufacturing affordable, initially towards industrial production and eventually towards makers.Because Jonas is a maker/hobbyist himself and only starts projects where normal peoples stops:).The idea for ValCUN was triggered by the question: "Why is nobody printing metals like polymer FDM? Because that would make things way more easier for metal AM". In many hobby projects (including the ones of Jonas') required metal and preferrable aluminium as this is easier to process with outstanding weight-strength ratio. Many dedicated hobbist have basic milling machines but when more complex shapes are required CNC milling/3D printing would be desired. A single step aluminium FDM process could solve many problems (not limiting to hobbyist but also industry).🤫 Get behind the scenes and exclusive content on my Patreon: https://patreon.com/thenextlayer💬 JOIN MY DISCORD: https://jle.vi/tnl-discord🔗 LINKS 🔗👉 ValCUN's website: https://www.valcun.be/🛒 RECOMMENDED GEAR: 🛒📍 Complete list of 3D Printing accessories: https://kit.co/jlevi/3d-printing📍 Complete list of my videography gear: https://kit.co/jlevi/content-creation📍 My favorite 3D printing filament: https://jle.vi/polymaker📍 My favorite 3D printer right now: https://jle.vi/voronkits | https://jle.vi/bambu (supports 3D Print General, who’s channel was deleted) 📍 My favorite BUDGET 3D printer right now: https://jle.vi/sovol📍 Check out the official TNL merch: https://shop.thenextlayer.com/📍 PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING THE CHANNEL BY SHOPPING USING MY LINKS!
