In the second half of my conversation with Rocky Parkerton, we look ahead at where AZ3DPrint is going next and how he’s leveling up his entire operation. Rocky breaks down his future machine tool plans, why he’s doubling down on capability, and how his spin-off company Regolith Forge is becoming the platform for his product-design ambitions. We dig into the engineering mindset behind creating in-house products, solving real problems in the marketplace, and what it takes to merge job-shop work with true product development.
We wrap things up with a quick-round of questions, some solid advice for machinists and shop owners, and a deeper look at how Rocky is building a business model centered on creativity, craftsmanship, and long-term vision.
If you’re a machinist, a shop owner, or someone who wants to build something of your own, this episode is packed with inspiration and forward-thinking ideas.
