Founder

Jack Heslin

Jack is a Delaware-based entrepreneur who has spent decades at the intersection of sales, manufacturing, and business development — guided by one core belief: nothing happens until something is sold.

He founded The 3D Future Edge, a strategic intelligence newsletter helping manufacturing and supply chain professionals cut through the noise and understand how AI and additive manufacturing are reshaping industry. Jack brings a no-nonsense, sales-first perspective that sets 3D Future Edge apart from purely technical publications.

He's focused on a mission to build the go-to strategic intelligence resource for the future of manufacturing.

Quirky Fact

Jack genuinely believes there is an alternate universe where the New York Giants never lose. Sane people have tried in vain to dissuade him of this belief — but to no avail.

Co-Founder

Nyshawn Burton

I am a Senior Web Engineer who looks at the world of AI and 3D printing through a builder's eyes. Instead of just looking at market numbers from the outside, I use my experience with large-scale data systems and compliance to evaluate how these manufacturing technologies actually work.

My fast-paced AI research workflow allows me to dive deep into unfamiliar tech stacks and pull out clear insights. I focus on studying the fast, secure digital networks that factories need to survive, giving us a realistic view of how modern manufacturing is changing.

Quirky Fact

I believe the internet is a place!
