3D printing technology has experienced a real boom in recent years - now even houses are being printed and now also batteries! We talk to the former CEO of Blackstone Technology, Holger Gritzka, about a new manufacturing process for lithium-ion batteries from the 3D printer. Currently, only the electrodes for LFP and NMC cells are printed. In the medium term, however, entire batteries are to be printed, and as solid-state batteries at that. Prof. Helge Stein of KIT classifies whether this will really be possible in large quantities and what potential 3D-printed solid-state batteries bring with them.

The episode was recorded before Mr. Gritzka left the company.
