The Tech Between Us

In this episode of The Tech Between Us, guest host Matt Campbell speaks with Bob Johnson, Principal at Johnson Consulting and Advisory, to examine the fundamentals of urban air mobility (UAM) and advanced air mobility (AAM). They discuss how cities, airports, and OEMs prepare for this new mode of flight that complements existing trains, planes, and automobiles. Bob explains how vertiports connect airports to central business districts, why cargo and emergency response will lead early adoption, and what it takes to safely integrate these systems into national airspace. Learn how technology, infrastructure, and public acceptance converge to make on-demand aerial transportation possible.

In this episode of In Between the Tech, Mouser speaks with Stefanie Brickwede, Managing Director at Mobility goes Additive (and Medical goes Additive), about how 3D printing is moving beyond prototypes to real impact. Stefanie explains why AM is as much change management as it is technology, and how user-focused networks are lowering barriers around cost, training, certifications, and standards. Explore the expanding materials landscape – polymers, metals, resins, ceramics, concrete, and bio-materials – and the use cases they unlock: lightweight aerospace parts, regulated medical and dental applications, on-demand spares for rail and heavy equipment, jigs and fixtures for production, and even early work in printed food and tissues. We also dig into AI’s role in design, quality, and digital inventory—turning physical warehouses into printable catalogs and enabling Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) and functional integration.
