Building tools for you to manufacture local @itemfarm. Helping you see your role in humanity's future among the stars @stepsleaps.
Humanoids, drones, quantum chips- the US is showing signs of renaissance, but who will work the factories of this New Industrial Age? Thanks to Arena Magazine I had an opportunity to explain how we're tackling this problem @Itemfarm in 3 states now, & soon the whole country. 1/
Americans waste an absurd amount of thermoplastics every year. Our upcoming Recycler module for the Orchard, deployed to some of the largest retailers, will convert millions of pounds per year into consumer goods. Physical goods too cheap to meter Terrestrial ISRU via Itemfarm
The national brands are how we're going to get millions of Orchard units deployed, but I will always build our tech with this use case in mind- where someone just wants to bring the joy of manufacturing back into their communities.
I wanna rent a main street storefront, put a 5-axis cnc, laser cutter, robotic welder, & a bunch of robotic arms, to create a Main Street industrial vending machine that people can watch in amazement while enjoying some ice cream.
Happy America on the moon day. I hope we will be back real soon, and better this time.
Happy moon landing day! In 4 hours we'll have our weekly chat about Martian cities and what we may find when we're getting them set up!
Where were you #OTD (in fact, on this exact day – Friday, July 18th, 1969) 56 years ago? I can tell you where I was…on the way to the Moon! Happy #Apollo11 Friday!
no fucking way a man named Eli Dourado is breaking this story
Congrats to the team at @MarathonFusion for identifying a plausible, scalable process for transmuting mercury into gold. This is something that drove Isaac Newton insane.
Let’s make sure every high schooler gets this promotion code and they get to learn SolidWorks. Here's the link to the Solidworks for Makers promotion. discover.solidworks.com/solidworks-mak… Deadline is July 22.
While we filled the schedule with big names in manufacturing and government, we knew we needed grassroots voices. We were proud to give Lucas (@ScrutineerLuca) the stage and showcase the critical work he's doing teaching high school students. Will release his full talk soon.
The ReIndustrialize Summit was full of true humanity that is doing all it can to revitalize our manufacturing base. For those of you that have put your efforts into Workforce Development the mission is critical. I have met so many people that drummed the beat for my program…
btw we will be hiring mech and mfg engineers forever. send me a dm
Hadrian is announcing a $260m Series C lead by @foundersfund + @Lux_Capital + @MorganStanley for (Factory Expansion financing). We're also welcoming new investors @altimeter, @1789Capital + investments from existing investors @a16z, @constructcap, @137ventures and many others.…
If you're in Detroit for @reindsummit & your company is taking on interns send me a DM. We've got Orchard units in classrooms in NY, MI, & AR now (soon in CA & TX). Every one of those students is learning to love manufacturing- help us get them a bright start! #reindustrialize
A KPI of @reindsummit should be how many factories the attendees opened or manufacturing roles were hired between each year's event
manufacturing is dramatically under hyped we need lots lots lots more factories
A yummy book from NASA on exploration. ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/…
