From the Fish Fry Vault: The Great Shark Cafe

Published: July 17, 2020, 2:12 p.m.

Since Fish Fry is on short hiatus (don’t worry, new episodes will be coming back soon!), I thought I would share another of my all-time favorite episodes.  When we talk about the best Fish Fry podcast episodes here at EE Journal, my producer Larra Morris is always quick to point out that her favorite was “THE SHARKS!” 

Since March of this year, FATHOM Dynamic Advanced Manufacturing has pivoted their business to connect 3D printing manufacturing to help the medical community in some pretty amazing ways... but back in 2017, we were talking about 3D printed trackers for great white sharks.

What do 3D printing and great white sharks have in common? This week’s episode of Amelia’s Weekly Shark Fry of course! My guest Rich Stump (FATHOM) and I chat about how FATHOM is working with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute to create 3D printed video tracking devices for great white sharks in the California coastal region. Rich and I also discuss the details of the Great White Shark Café Challenge and the future of 3D printing in the world of oceanic research."
