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.
