Think you know how much bronze it takes to make memorial markers? In this episode, we talk with Dave Rittmeyer of Matthews International and get a surprising answer about the sheer volume of metal used for grave markers and other memorials. Dave gives us a fascinating look into the production process, from traditional hand-setting of letters to modern 3D printing, and shares his personal mission to "bridge the gap between art and industry" by connecting industrial arts and fine arts at universities. He also discusses the evolving culture of the foundry world, which has shifted from an "isolationist" past to a more collaborative and helpful community today. #podcast #foundry #manufacturing
