We are fortunate to have Steve Kranz, a senior material scientist at Origin to chat about his life journey as a material scientist for 3D printing, what is an Open Additive Production system, how Origin pivoted in this pandemic and his various hobbies outside of work, including his life long interest in being a storyteller, and a recent publication of a memoir of a prisoner ( "Archie: Gold in the Fire" ). Steve will be a speaker at the material science panel at 3DHEALS2020 in June 2020. The rest of Steve's more in-depth written interview can be found here.
