You are going to be a machine shop? If so, how will you achieve higher efficiency vs existing machine shops? Or will you rent machines to firms when they need them? Would they be on-prem with the clien... A: Thanks for the questions! You more or less have the idea. Current machine shops are designed around maximizing the efficiency of a human operator performing low volume high mix (many types of parts) work. When companies like Apple set out to achieve higher throughput for their mass production they hire a company to build a robotic automation around their CNC machines to achieve maximum efficiency. They can do this because their volume is high but their mix is low. However, when they need to p... - Q: This sounds like a great idea. Do you have more details on the IP and unique technology you have for this that others don't? Related, why haven't others in the industry done what you are hoping to do? A: Julian, Appreciate your interest. At our core we have a software enabled process innovation. We are not heavily innovating in how machines are built or operate. Others in the industry are slowly adding more automation to their products. However, they are trying to optimize the existing process designed around human operators, while we are building a new one designed around automation. We believe the incremental approach of industry incumbents leaves too much value on the table, so our solutio... - Q: The use of robots in manufacturing depend entirely on the part being manufactured. How do you work with a part that can't be moved with end of arm tooling? What kind of accuracy and repeatability is the system going to have? What size parts are you going to be able to manufact... A: Nick, Thanks for your questions. We are building our capability slowly. Our first product offering is simple parts out of plastic and aluminum that don't require a fixture change. These are parts like signs and parts for hobbyists. As our capability grows we can offer more elaborate part set-ups and materials. The $20k will help us build our MVP which is a small grid of mills that will allow us to take very simple jobs. We want to prove our economics and get customer feedback before we raise ... - Q: I am interested in what you are planning to accomplish. I am an engineer and machinist so I have a feel for some of the problems you wish to solve. Are you working on this project at the present time? How much time per week? Have you invested any of your own funds? What so you... A: Douglas, Appreciate your questions. There are two people working on this full time. We have been working on this for ten months and hope to take our first beta customers in Late November. We have invested a significant portion of our savings into this company. The 20k will help us build our MVP which is a small grid of mills that will allow us to take very simple jobs. We want to prove our economics and get customer feedback before we raise additional funding. Protolabs focuses mainly on smal... - Q: What is the valuation of the company? I have been looking around on the company documents and on the SAFE details, but there hasn't been anything. It's always great to see startups from the SF Bay Area on Wefunder and to have the opportunity to invest in my community. A: Timothy, Thanks for reaching out. We are a very early stage company pre-valuation. We have been working on this for around 10 months and hope to take our first beta customers in Late November.
