A $4 part stuck overseas stopped sales of a $400 vacuum and pushed Spencer Loveless to find a better way. In this episode, Spencer - CEO of Dustless Technologies and Merit3D - shares how that moment led to scalable 3D printing for mass production, when additive beats injection molding, and why the next decade could reshape U.S.-based manufacturing. He also reflects on leadership, legacy, and building modern manufacturing jobs in Utah.
