Art, AI, 3D printing, welding with the guys from Netflix's Metal Shop Masters
In this special episode of The Fabricator Podcast, Josh Welton takes over as host and sits down with Luis Varela-Rico, Ivan Iler, and Frank Ledbetter. These three wildly different artists from the hit Netflix show Metal Shop Masters talk with Josh about metal art, artificial intelligence (AI), laser welding, 3D printing, and mixing old and new technologies in art.
They delve deeper into discussions about the 3D-printed stainless steel bridge in Amsterdam built by Dutch additive manufacturing company MX3D, legendary metalworker and custom automotive fabricator Ron Covell, and using LiDAR technology to take a 3D scan of Frank's head.
