When I first met the Carbon team at Formnext, what struck me wasn’t flashy prototypes — it was finished products. Helmets, bike saddles and cushions already in use. That grounded realism defined my conversation with Jason Rolland, SVP Materials at Carbon: additive that isn’t a side project, but a tool for resilient, flexible, performance-led manufacturing.
When I sat down with Sofia Peruzzo, ESG Manager at SK TES, I knew we’d cover a lot of ground. Her insights in this episode offer actionable advice for manufacturers looking to prepare for the future — especially when it comes to regulation, recyclability and circularity.
I was delighted to be able to ‘stand in’ as the host for this episode because a lot of the topics discussed resonate strongly with my experiences in the additive manufacturing industry. As the Managing Director of Sustainability at the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and President of Engineering for Change, Iana was the perfect person to talk to about some of these key themes, specifically the role of engineering workforce development in enabling sustainable manufacturing.

The MANSUS x AMGTA penultimate episode has landed. This week with hear from Byron Kennedy, CEO, SPEE3D, an Australian manufacturing company at the forefront of metal additive manufacturing.
SPEE3D’s technology is redefining how critical industries—including defense, mining, and energy—approach manufacturing. It is natural to conclude that that such industries, by proxy, are not sustainable. And yet, they aren’t going away. The question then becomes: how do these critical industries think about their environmental impact to become more sustainable? SPEE3D has part of the answer.
In this episode we speak with Rainer Lotz, President EMEA at Renishaw. Rainer shares insights on how selecting the right parts and materials for additive manufacturing can lead to significant reductions in material waste, production time, and overall carbon footprint.
Rainer talks about Renishaw’s high-productivity AM systems, designed for efficiency and cost-effectiveness, and highlight real-world examples from industries like automotive and medical, where their technology is delivering measurable sustainability benefits. By leveraging compact, high-performance laser systems, Renishaw is helping manufacturers improve competitiveness while maintaining part quality and reducing environmental impact.
The conversation also explores the importance of industry collaboration through the AMGTA to accelerate sustainable practices across the sector. #SustainableManufacturing #3DPrinting #AdditiveManufacturing #Renishaw #AMGTA #MANSUS
