Welcome to Almost Here, Almost Here, Round the Corner of Future Technology Podcasts with Richard Jacobs.

Future Technologies Boys to Transform Our Lives, for better or worse, are the focus of this podcast. Almost here

means these technologies are now here and starting to be used. We're just around the

corner from Bitcoin to artificial intelligence, 3D printing, blockchain, virtual reality, and more.

This is Richard Jacobs with Future Tech Podcast almost here Round the Corner of Future Technology.

And I'm here today with Cullen Hillkenny,

CEO of Three Diligent.com,

the number three, D I L I G E N T dot com.

And 3 diligent appears to provide software that helps bridge the gap between the 3D printing

machines that are out there and the fulfillment companies and the people that want to create various 3D objects.

Is that accurate, Colop?

Although in addition to software, I'd say we're also a services company. We describe ourselves a bit like Uber meets

Amazon for rapid manufacturing services in the sense that Amazon networked

retailers, Uber networked drivers, we've networked, rapid

RFQ and along with our team routed to the ideal supply partners for the job across North America.

And so with that distributed supply base we can deliver faster turnarounds and great prices

for extremely high quality industrial grade work and that is primarily

built around 3D printing that's where we grew up but we also do some CNC machining and urethane capping.

Okay, so a big part of the value is that you likely have built up a network of 3D printing fulfillment shops so when someone comes to you you
