How it started (2018): - Bought a laser - Developed instant quoting system - Hired 3 people - We can cut metal with lasers! - We can ship it to your door! How it went for 7 years (from what I can remember): - Bought another laser - Hired 9 more people - Added 23k lines of codeCelebrating 7 years of sending, cutting, and sending. Cheers- Go build something. There's never been a better time.

00:00 - I was just trying to show the marketing team why we don’t bend 7075. It was louder in person I promise
00:00 - Looks like I’m getting into the business of selling leftover random blocks of aluminum. If I can shove these into flat rate boxes I think it’ll work. Does $4/lb sound fair?
00:00 - Pro tip: 3D print your equipment and use it to plan new facility layouts. So much better than a CAD floor plan
- our first actual-customer CNC parts have left the building. we’ll slowly ramp capacity over the next couple months
00:00 - we have a very wide spectrum of customers
00:00 - 7 decades of fabrication experience vs 10 years
- commissioned 3 more lasers at our texas facility. expect >30% reduction in pricing and lead times for volume orders, especially 1000+ units
- Go sign a lease on a manufacturing space and start reindustrializing. Here’s how: (1/30)

00:08fancy camera with a spinning lens so that we can see through coolant spray. made in the USA cnc livestreams coming soon- I lowered CNC prices a bit (more capacity is coming online this week). I still have a ways to go to beat offshore in qty 1-5. 10 units or more we’re doing pretty good. Beating lead time too
