New Podcast: Mfg Spaces - Carl Bass

  • Fusion godfather, CEO of AD
  • DFM tool 👏
  • Automated CAM (obvi but what does that mean for jobs ?)
  • How do we automate router work?
  • Job shop work needs automated quoting. Wasting WAY too much valuable time.
  • Engineers and designers learn better faster with instant tools (quotes, DFM)
  • integrated data in model files - drawings are silly when we have “perfect models that are just missing how far from the model they can go”
  • Carl - “it’s like if you feed your dog then pick up the shit and try to figure out what you fed your dog”

AMA

  • Patrick - I’d love to hear the difference or similarities between the “customer journey” at PDX CNC vs LB. What’s the customer service experience, ya know?
  • Dylan - On a scale of 1-10 how much do you like softjaws, and why did you say 1?
  • debrisbrooms - You magically receive 1000 sq/ft to your shop. What do you do with it?
  • astonjcreative - For Jem Tymbr and Justin increase of 3d printed homewares and their longevity
  • Alex (masterbowater) - configurations!
