# VM Podcast S3E1: LEAP 71 and the code to the future of advanced manufacturing

Get ready for an electrifying start to the new season of the VoxelMatters Podcast! Our guests for this first episode of 2024 are Josefine Lissner and Lin Kayser, co-founders of [computational engineering firm LEAP 71](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/leap71/).

In 2024, we're diving headfirst into the boundless world of additive manufacturing, exploring a wide range of applications that span industries, materials, and parts.

To kick off this journey, we've got an extraordinary story to share with you. Brace yourselves for a game-changing narrative about a company that's not just redesigning parts for AM but reimagining them – through code!

Meet LEAP71, the pioneers of a revolutionary computational engineering approach to part design. They aren't just transforming the way we create some of the world's most cutting-edge products; they're also shaping the future of 3D printing, making it an indispensable cornerstone of tomorrow's manufacturing.

LEAP 71 has wowed us with their mind-boggling creations (you can see some of their latest work in the photo gallery below), collaborating with industry giants such as AMCM and the Fraunhofer Institute. While we've heard about parametric and generative design for at least a decade, LEAP 71 has taken a quantum "leap" beyond existing 3D design software.

Furthermore, they are achieving this by open-sourcing much of their knowledge, including their advanced PicoGK ("peacock"), a geometry kernel for Computational Engineering Models, which was released under the permissive [Free and Open Source (FOSS) Apache 2.0 license](https://github.com/leap71).

In this episode, we sit down with the masterminds behind LEAP 71, who also happen to constitute the company’s entire workforce. Together, we unravel how they're harnessing software algorithms to craft the next era of exceptionally complex physical products, from rocket engines to energy-efficient heat exchangers or electric motors.
