Slant 3D

We Created Real Life Teleportation. Here's how:

This week -Mobile version of Teleport wildly improved -Tangled Tuff is in transit -Updated the Production quoting flow for faster checkout

What is everyone designing today?

@robotsailor Pretty much every industry is like this. Competitive advantages wear away and you compete purely on execution.

there will eventually be so many competing robotics companies that neither hardware or software will be a moat. the moat will come down to operational hours in the field. companies that deploy robots as operators outside of controlled environments will win.

You don't need molds You don’t need inventory You don’t need your own factory You can just sell physical products… digitally youtu.be/Hza4xhLRFns

If you run an ecommerce business you should be using Teleport. You can create and add new product to increase AOV with no up front investment in molds or inventory.

Pulled a bunch of data. Teleport users with 25+ matches have far higher performance than those below.

the art of 3D printing

We are looking for an SMB sales rep help bring Teleport to more ecommerce businesses.

Trying to perfect a 1-shot prompt to make a 3d printing app with the Slant API.

@alexgibson3d 100,000 is the default break even point of additive. We were doing that in 2020. It is far more scalable than molding. No warehousing, no mold, less shipping, less shrink. Organizations don't look at the lifecycle cost of a part

@Slant3D ...in more cases than many people might expect, but never all. Look, I've #3dprinted over 110,000 of one part, well past the theoretical break point with IM, and #3dprinting has killer advantages, but so does IM.

3D printing will obviously replace injection molding.

Teleport has crossed more than 11,000 businesses using 3D printing to increase their product selection and manufacturing.

On Demand Print Farms are the most difficult manufacturing problem on the planet. Every part has to be perfect even though every part is totally different.

There really seems to be an opening for a new shipping paradigm right now. USPS is broke. Ups and FedEx are too expensive, and Amazon has reached 1 hour delivery.

@AndrewASink You mean like every market?

It’s pretty wild to see that 90% of the desktop 3D printing market is dominated by just a few companies!

@emm0sh Respect your elders. They all are on linkedin

@joescalon Caged. 3DETA hasn't called us about it.

@Slant3D So are they free-range printers?

A print farm is a not a bunch of printers on a shelf.

@marco_dewey Already did. Slant3dapi.com Teleportpod.com 1000+ 3d printers on tap and operational in the Boise megafarm. 99 percent of orders ship in under two days.

@Slant3D can you build it?

If you are building to solve the hardest technical problems in America send me a DM I’m looking to fund you

@KAZI3DP Thanks so much for watching.

@Slant3D Keep up the good fight man, you're educating more and more people to be able to create things worthy of production. I truly appreciate it and I've learned a lot with more to come.

We got 23.5 millions views on YouTube last year. Few of our videos go above 100k We post three long form videos per week. We currently post 2 short form per day. It is a grind. But the job of the channel is to educate. And then Quantity begets quality.

@emm0sh This is the same problem we ran into with our system. The shop has to set rules and be very clear about them. From the business side people think this is limiting but it actually makes you more scalable anyway.

this is a case where the CAD companies couldn’t actually make the product better, and it wasn’t negligence on their part the problem with “show the engineer their mistakes in CAD” is that “mistake” is subjective. not only does it depend on the machine shop, it depends on the person within the machine shop the reason why shops like sendcutsend and protolabs can give you fast CNC DFM is because they have explicitly developed their guidelines and no matter who you speak to, they have a hard line on what they can and can’t do this isn’t true outside of these services. everything is a negotiation. i can get my local machine shop to cut hard internal corners but i have to buy them the EDM machine first and this takes us to the fundamental problem with CAD, or engineering software in general being useful per DFM feedback — it has to be driven by the downstream operators (people who are doing the actual CAM and cutting the actual parts) this is nearly impossible because it requires: a. your manufacturers giving you up to date and reliable information b. that information being objective (it often isn’t) c. ingesting it into CAD quickly/naturally d. it being presented meaningfully in your CAD application of choice d is impossible because c would require an interoperable format from ISO or ASME (i’m currently working on this with the ASME MBE committee, so good news there) there are scammy-ish startups out there like bananaz purporting to be doing this but for the reasons i’ve listed they are not (i’ve already tried involving them to solve c and they are not interested)
