Open Hardware Manufacturing Podcast

Join Stephen and Lucian on an exciting episode of the Open Hardware Manufacturing Podcast as they chat with Bar Smith, the innovative mind behind the Maslow CNC. We hope you enjoy this talk about the world of open-source hardware and community building as Bar shares his journey from a random thought to creating a revolutionary CNC router, the Maslow 4.1.

You will learn about the struggles of developing a large-format CNC router that allows anyone access to fabrication tools while keeping everything open-source. Plus, you'll discover how Bar's unique approach to open-source development and community engagement has shaped the evolution of the Maslow project.

Whether you're a maker, an entrepreneur, or just curious about open hardware, this episode offers valuable insights into the power of collaboration and innovation.

Don't miss the chance to support Bar's latest Kickstarter for the Maslow 4.1, a testament to the ongoing journey of making CNC technology accessible to everyone. Click HERE for the Kickstarter link and be part of this exciting project!

In this episode of the OHM Podcast, We explore the critical phases of product development: Engineering Validation Test (EVT), Design Validation Test (DVT), and Production Validation Test (PVT). We discuss the importance of each phase in transforming a bare-bones concept into a market-ready product and emphasize the need for structured validation processes to ensure that products meet their intended specifications and can be effectively mass-produced.

Join us as we delve into:

• The significance of product validation and the role of the Product Requirement Document (PRD)
• The differences and objectives of EVT, DVT, and PVT
• How empirical testing and user feedback shape product development
• Insights into managing engineering teams and collaboration across disciplines
• Real-world examples from their experiences at Form Labs and Opulo

It's here! The LumenPnP V4 is finally here, and we wanted to share some of our design decisions and explain why we made some of the choices we did. From wants to necessity, it wasn't easy. It took years of feedback, but we couldn't be happier with what has come from all of it. We wouldn't be where we are without the help of our community and the hard work they put into this as well. Thank you!
