In their words
- What problem are you solving?
- Mining and ag gear is scrapped whole for want of one component, and there's no regional capacity to remanufacture.
- Who does it help?
- Contractors, farms and any maker who needs short-run metal work.
- What is the innovation?
- A shared remanufacturing workshop with reverse-engineering and short-run fabrication for other founders.
- What are your barriers?
- Machine time is the bottleneck; skilled staff are hard to hold.
- What do you need?
- Apprentices, a second CNC, and steady short-run work to fill the gaps.
- Would you like to collaborate?
- Yes — bring me your prototype, I have the machines.
