Designing with Autodesk
I wrote a little post over on the Autodesk site about the software we use and my thoughts on present & future of design and manufacturing. Love working with these guys!
Visit to Haas Automation
Enjoyed touring Haas Automation today. We're local to each other and it was awesome to see American manufacturing at its finest.
Yard of castings. One of the few outsources components.
Pretty typical assembly factory layout.
I used to do robot end of arm tool design so it was cool to see automated manufacturing implemented.
Tool changer on the biggest mill I've ever seen.
The 5 axis that cut the Formula 1 car plugs.
Tool changer assemblies.
Making chips. This is the machine I came to look at. *hint hint*
Tech in Motion TIMMY Awards Booth
Our demo booth came alive last night at the TIMMY awards. Such a pleasure to work with the Tech in Motion girls and awesome to see whats going on in the LA startup scene. Check our booth video here.
The real booth.

In the Press
We're really happy to be included in this SustainAbility article. Great insight into the future of manufacturing.
Check us out on We Are LA Tech too!
NYC CNC Porsche 930 Fuel Cap Collaboration
Porsche fuel cap we designed for an awesome youtube collaboration with John Saunders from NYC CNC!
Our render.
Our 3D printed prototype. We modeled the threads off a photo and it fit perfect! Check the video on Johns facebook page.
Another Throwback
It's been a week of meetings so far so in place of some fresh content, lets do a throwback to 2007/8. This was for a brushless quadcopter design I was developing way before the 'drone' market exploded. Might show some more of this in the future.
CNCing a mold.
Thermoformed parts pulled from the plug.
Automated Manufacturing -Robots!
Throwback to the robot end of arm tool design days for automated manufacturing at Tessy Plastics. Learned so much here!
Housekeeping
Having a 3D printer around can be very useful!
iPhone tripod mount.
Headphone parts.
Industry Experts
It was awesome to tour the new Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator and learn about the future of manufacturing from industry expert Curt Chan of Autodesk.
Softgoods Concept
Some of our work is on the simpler side of things. Purse concept for BCBGMAXAZRIA.
