Print, Eat, Repeat Ep2: 3D Printed Flatware

Welcome to the second episode of Print, Eat, Repeat, the video series exploring the fascinating intersection of Arc Impact technology and the culinary world. This series was born from the technical lunch discussions between Erik Almstead and Jonah Myerberg, where they frequently dive into the weeds of additive manufacturing over a good meal. From large-scale production opportunities to unique, one-off specialized batches, we’re covering the full spectrum of what’s possible with our technology. In This Episode: We are taking a look at a beautifully crafted everyday item: 3D Printed Flatware. The Design: Jonah and Erik showcase a stunning, custom-designed set of stainless steel silverware, proving how metal binder jetting can turn functional dining tools into intricate works of art. The Process: Learn how the digital designs are transformed into physical parts using the DM Shop System™, before being sintered and put through a meticulous mass-finishing and polishing sequence, ending with a surprising natural ingredient for that perfect shine. Technical Advantages: Discover why metal binder jetting excels where traditional manufacturing methods like stamping fail, and how this tool-free process allows for endless design complexity without extra cost. The "Eat" Segment: For this episode's lunch break, the team is digging into a coveted giant cinnamon roll from Co-Dough in Newport, RI. We're putting this local favorite to the test to see if it truly pairs perfectly with high-tech engineering.
