I have been an entrepreneur since 1983. Historically 90% of start-ups fail. I have yet to bankrupt one (knock on wood). People ask me how I did it. So we are going to do a series on Dan’s Business Secrets or Dan’s BS for short.
Jim is too modest. His automatic gaging and welding software is too cool. Rather than the 2 programs which were originally necessary, Jim created a single adaptive program that uses touch work to determine the position AND version of the part. Using this data Jim’s program adapts to any dimensional inaccuracies.
Last week I hosted a tour of ARC Specialties for a group of high school teachers. The field trip was part of The Research Experience for High School Teachers in Design and Manufacturing Presented by the University of Houston* and Associate Professor Weihang Zhu. See:https://lnkd.in/egrmAgt
I have used induction heating my whole career. It has been both fascinating and frustrating.
My first job was in the Hughes welding research lab and I loved it. But my lab experience started as a youngster going to my mom’s radiation mutation genetics lab at UT Austin.
I’m a long time advocate of narrow gap welding. The advantages are tremendous, but the challenges are too.
Thanks for the comments & questions regarding Additive Manufacturing (AM) and material properties. Our motto, see below, really is our mission statement. We learn when you send us problems.
