anyone else having trouble hearing? I'm getting very choppy audio

My audio is good

I'm good too Gordon

I just re-logged in, much better now, thanks. :)

Yes, I can see it.

Im sorry, im hbeen having problems with zoom, is this a lathe?

very nice

What sort of part is it?

*Is being made

What is your target sales price for this machine?

Are these in demand for the automotive industry? Or what industry is this machine being targeted to?

is this just a wood lathe or

is this computer controlled

How is the heat dispersed?

So, it can also do this to metal, not just wood?

So it is like a combo of a lathe and a cnc machine. got it.

how much does it cost to produce?

And would this be able to handle milling aluminum? Steel? What material limits?

are these machines developed in Taiwan?

how would you advertise this produc and what is your competition?

How long did the patenting process take to complete? Did you have to go through the patenting process in multiple countries?

Soyou’re business is operating out of Taiwan now?

What CAM software do you use?

what does CNC stand for?

How have prospective customers responded? Are you targeting specific markets?

Are you targeting hobbiest as well or mostly manufactures?

How long to fully produce a machine like this

So your business start up was in college

? Did you have partners

For non-turning processes e.g. milling is there a vice? Or how do you hold the material?

20K US for the patents?

How long did it take to perfect it to this model?

Wow.

would you be able to cut costs by usig your machines to make certain parts for you machines, like 3d printing companies?

Does Fusion have a post for it?

g code, cool

What countries are you going to be selling to?

How many models are you planning on producing?

How is it shipped and assembled?

How is the coolant handled? I see the nozzles...

How difficult is it to program each job... i.e. does it take a lot of specialization?

Specialized fliud im geussing

would you be able to cut costs by using your machines to make certain parts for you machines, like 3d printing companies?

Did you have a business plan timeline and did you meet that goal or did it take a shorter or longer amount of time?

very cool

did you conduct a feasibility analysis or anything like that when you started this venture?

Is the system sold as a complete system or would you be also selling a "Makers Version"?

Is constant maintenance needed? And are there any improvements you are looking forward to make?

If you could give your past self one piece of advice what would you say?

so we would need to break out the milling vs turning activities until a full Post processor was written,

Did you envision owning your own business?

How do you plan on expanding your business?

If the machine breaks down, what is the process for it getting fixed? Would there be a warranty? Do you foresee this being used mainly for only specialized products and not for mass production?

Does the machine run on 120V single phase?

thank you!

Franz... (How do you plan on expanding your business?) Yes, it is in scope.

Are both chucks powered, or does one act almost as a live center? Or possibly are the motors sensored to keep the synced?

Are the controls stepper motors or have full servo feedback?

What kind of warranties, if any, would be in place?

what is the overall mission of your company?

Does it come with a specific tooling package or will it accept common collets/etc.

are you planning on a tool changer for the vertical mill?

Who would you consider your closest competitor?

How will we find this product when you release it? Company name, website?

how do you differentiate from other competitors

https://www.swissmakcnc.com/ is ready

What is your companies overall goals?

Has covid had a significant impact on your business?

I presume you have a design and utility patent then?

What are things to consider when moving a business to a different country? What was the visa process like and what other things are there to consider such as language or accessing finances?

If so do you have protection when manufacturing overseas?

Do you think you will eventually bring production back to the U.S. or do you see that as unreasonable no matter how successful your business gets?

You should send a machine to michael reeves. hes a very popular robotics engineer youtuber

Life is good in Tiawan.

Those that know know.

How did you find your team?

I've spent a lot of time in Xiamen.

Cool machine! Thank you for demo!!

Looking toward Tiawan.

Thank you!

Thank you

What was the best advice you have gotten during this whole journey?

Impressive!!!

Yeah that was awesome!!!

Thank you!

I was in awe

do you have social media we can follow mfor updates?

Thank you, Perry! What an inspiring journey! We appreciate you taking the time to share with our Sierra College community.

Thank you so much!

What was the hardest part of moving your business to taiwan?

Was that link to your website?

Thank you!

Wishing you success!

Ryan Mollier’s computer broke down and was wondering if there are any YouTubers you specifically had in mind to review it?

For the most part your competition is pretty small? Or you lead the market for this product

How many suppliers do you use? or do you manufacturer the parts yourself?

5?

%?

Is there anything that a CNC machine can do that this machine cannot?

All good here.

how can I buy one

did you give a price already? price range?

Very cool!

damn, that's cheap

inexpensive

Is there a social media or i website i can go to to show my dad

?

They need to get the Post written for Fusion.

The trick with Fusion is that they look at either Milling OR Turing... not both.

well my dad works at the autmotive department at arc and i thought hed think it would be a good investment

...at the same time.

William, Fusion does have a Mill-Turn option

Ah... running them one at a time, ok.

Thanks, Perry! And Steve!

I am definitely inspired!

Me too!
