In this episode of the Elevate the Game Podcast, Jorge Abreu sits down with Dr. Jason Jones, a leading authority in industrial 3D printing and hybrid manufacturing. Dr. Jones breaks down complex manufacturing concepts in a way that’s easy to understand and shows how innovation, automation, and curiosity are reshaping how things are made.
Dr. Jones explains why traditional assembly-line manufacturing isn’t always the best solution and how hybrid manufacturing combines 3D printing with CNC machining to unlock speed, flexibility, and efficiency. He shares how his team is helping manufacturers adopt advanced technology without needing massive production volumes.
The conversation also dives into leadership, learning through mistakes, and why allowing room for experimentation creates stronger teams and better outcomes. Dr. Jones discusses the power of industry standards, networking through standards committees, and how service to the industry helped expand his expertise and influence.
You’ll also hear how AI and automation are transforming manufacturing workflows, moving the industry closer to fully autonomous, digitally driven factories. Dr. Jones wraps up by sharing exciting developments in automated quality inspection using ultrasound technology to verify parts as they’re being produced.
