| 0:07.0 | Future Technologies is poised to transform our lives for better or worse for the focus of this podcast. Almost here |
| 0:14.3 | means these technologies are now here and starting to be used. We're just around the |
| 0:18.8 | corner. For Bitcoin to Artificial Intelligence, 3D printing, blockchain, virtual reality, and more. |
| 0:25.0 | Hi, this is Richard Jacobs with Future Check Podcast, |
| 0:29.0 | almost here around the corner technology. |
| 0:32.0 | And today I've got an interview about 3D printing from |
| 0:35.0 | Rob Badoor, general manager of the America's division of Proto Labs. Rob, how you doing today? |
| 0:42.2 | I'm doing well, thanks. How are you? Proton today. |

| 1:18.1 | manufacturing processes very rapidly. |
| 1:21.0 | So we actually offer seven different manufacturing processes today, three of which |
| 1:26.4 | are 3D printing, but we also offer a variety of injection molding and CNC machining technologies for manufacturing parts and ultimately products for companies. |
| 1:40.0 | All right, so within the 3D printing worlds, do you help engineers design |
| 1:47.0 | objects to be 3D printed or do you just do the fulfillment in the printing? |
