Within Tolerance Episode 274 - Brian Kippen of KAD Models


Listen Later

Brian Kippen is back after nearly four years to talk about an incredible period of growth and change at KAD Models. From teaching machining to acquiring a wire forming business, adding a MAM with automation, and managing three facilities across two coasts—all while raising a toddler. We dive into the cultural challenges of bringing precision work to a fast-paced prototype shop, the reality of machine automation ROI, and why delegation is harder than it sounds.
