Feb 10, 2021 Why is Copper the new darling to the 3D printing industry? Even before the pandemic, Daniel Martinez and his co-founders at Copper3D, a Chilean startup, had a grand vision for Copper-based nanocomposite materials, for 3D printing, and for non-additive manufacturing globally to produce products that have long-lasting anti-microbial products. This podcast is a recording of our weekly Instagram Live interview with Daniel. You can find the video version of this recording on our website 3dheals.com, our IG account, and our Vimeo channel.
