Episode Synopsis

Our Solutionology podcast shares behind-the-scenes stories of projects and problem-solving using a digital mindset. In Episode #25, Carl Douglass, DI Lab CEO, and Brian Douglass, DI Labs COO, have an in-depth discussion about quality with Hannah Kinder, DI Labs Production Manager. Quality can be a touchy subject in additive manufacturing because it often seems ambiguous and expectations can be wildly different between each client and project. Brian states that quality, which is considered a deliverable, and a digital mindset, which is a state of constant transition, can feel like oil & water. That’s because when people think of quality, they think of standardization and repeatability - not constant change.As the industry continues to evolve and mature, having a digital mindset is critical to our success, especially when it comes to quality. DI Labs is in a constant state of transition to new levels of performance, capabilities and standards of quality. As Hannah said in the wrap-up, change is inevitable especially if you want to be better. And we always do.Listen to the full episode to learn more.Chapters & Episode Topics: 00:00 Intro01:02 Structure of quality01:27 Digital mindset and quality - oil and water03:15 Quality is a tradeoff04:06 Definitions of quality05:50 Culture supports quality07:51 Our ISO9001 onboarding process11:53 Understanding client expectations15:45 How quality drives scrap rates18:59 Scrap from 10-25%19:11 Current improvementsMore Solutionology Stories Podcast Episodes: https://dilabs.cc/podcast/
