Getting to know the Liquid Metal Jetting technology powering Xerox's ElemX metal 3D printer
Manage episode 329892433 series 3141616
At 3dpbm, we have been following Xerox’s venture in AM ever since the company decided to invest to develop a new liquid metal printing process, invented by a New York startup called Vader. After nearly 5 years, a system based on this unique technology, the ElemX, is ready to enter commercialization.
Our guest for this episode, Arjun Tekalur is the Director of Engineering at Xerox and is the best person to help us understand how Xerox’s liquid metal printing works and if we will ever be able to say, “Xerox me that metal part”.
Arjun is an experienced researcher and skilled engineering professional with 15+ years of experience in manufacturing, corporate strategy, research and innovation, and higher education. At Xerox, he manages the team responsible for systems integration of ElemX 3D printers.
In his career he has created high-performance teams focusing on digital design and rapid qualification; managed portfolio encompassing research and applied technologies in advanced manufacturing, digitization, material and process qualification; and developed strategy to innovate and monetize digitization (tech road map creation, identify key gaps, create workflows).
Arjun is passionate about technology, innovation and digital transformation. He also holds an MS and PhD in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics from the University of Rhode Island.
