Additive manufacturing in the defense industry and STEM education, with CAPT Brad Baker, US Naval Academy

CAPT Brad Baker of the US Navy served for years as a high-ranking officer aboard nuclear submarines, but considers his most rewarding duty to be training future military leaders at the United States Naval Academy (USNA). There, he directs the MakerSpace USNA, introducing additive manufacturing technology to Naval Academy students. In Talking Additive’s latest episode, he speaks about the use of 3D printing – and Ultimaker 3D printers – at the USNA, as well as how FFF technology prepares students for future careers in the military and engineering fields, where additive manufacturing technology is quickly becoming widespread.
