The Cool Parts Show Returns With Special Quarantine-Edition Episodes

When the coronavirus-related workplace closures and stay-at-home directives came, we had just posted Season 2 of The Cool Parts Show and we were working on Season 3. We paused much of that work and I might have thought we would stay paused … except for all the activity in and around additive manufacturing (AM) that has come out of this crisis.

We are now getting ready to film and share a series of special quarantine-edition episodes, completely unplanned as recently as a couple of weeks ago. Companies appearing in past episodes of the show are doing important work during this time — we will revisit them to update their new stories. Then, we’ll tackle the way this crisis has led to one of the most important scale-production applications for AM: testing swabs.

The quarantine-edition episodes start next week. Subscribe now so you don’t miss them. And in the preview below, catch a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the way we will be practicing social distancing in the way we film. Stay tuned!
