  • Ep. 59 (1/16/25): How Green Bay's Coex 3D is bolstering additive manufacturing in the New North

    Ep. 59 (1/16/25): How Green Bay's Coex 3D is bolstering additive manufacturing in the New North
    Jan 16 2025
    Todd Louthain, owner of Coex 3D in Green Bay, joins Kate and Ann on this week's episode of the podcast, which ties in with the January 2025 IOM cover story on additive manufacturing, "Addition by Addition," that was released yesterday. Louthain bought Coex 3D and spun it off from The Village Companies in 2022, and today it is one of only 14 domestic manufacturers of 3D printing filament selling to the open market.


    Louthain is more than a manufacturer, however. Coex 3D prides itself on providing additive manufacturing services and consultations to Wisconsin companies, including manufacturers like Wisconsin Lighting Lab in our New North region, which is also featured in the January cover story.
