This week we present three conversations from IMTS, the giant manufacturing technology trade show that comes to Chicago every other year. In this episode we speak with Zach Kaplan, founder and CEO of Inventables, about why pure performance is played out, and the importance of accessibility in next-generation manufacturing tools.

Be sure to listen to the other two episodes in this series, #12 featuring Spencer Wright of The Prepared, and #14 with Elizabeth Koprucki from the University of Chicago's fab lab.
