He'll be doing a Sydney meetup Tues March 13thNot announced at the time of recording, but John will be doing an "open house" at mHub in Chicago on September 9th. This will be the night before IMTS, also in Chicago.It was great having John on to tell us about machining and mechanical concerns. While we normally focus on electronics on this show, it's increasingly important to have a broad view of the product development cycle and the various processes required to get something created for the market. We think NYCCNC helps beginners get a footing in the field. Be sure to subscribe!
