The annual Maker Faire is a venue for inventors and entrepreneurs with a focus on science and engineering. We have never attended before, but this year it was different. Hyrel, the company currently employing our son, Jon, was there to display their wares.
It rained most of the day, but that didn't seem to dampen the spirits of the many patrons who found a way to enjoy many of the hands-on exhibits.
The Hyrel 3D printer is unique in an ever-growing field by featuring "hot-swappable" printer heads. We are thrilled that Jon has a job he enjoys so much! We met some of his bosses and co-workers and can see why he is happy there.
The Hyrel 3D printer can print with 4 printer heads simultaneously.
It can also print using a variety of materials - Clay, Plas cine, Sugru, Silicone RTV, Porcelain, ABS, PLA, Nylon, T-glaze, PEEK, Polypropylene and more.
Another booth featured a company that does unique welding. Below they transformed an ordinary armchair into the most comfortable, if impracticable, cycling machine.
Happy Birthday, Kate! Hope you have as much fun as this kid!!!
Jon, an early Happy Birthday to you!! Love you both so much!!
