Welcome @Jason.Steadfast and thank you for sharing your journey!
Our aim w/ NORAMARK is to cut the noise and BS from online connections and enable it to have a similar impact as in-person meetings, while also scaling up. Our focus is 100% on US Manufacturers only. I hope we can help you to achieve your goals. We're constantly improving and adding new solutions to do just that. Thanks for joining us!

Hi! I work in workforce development in casting and forging for IACMI - the Composites Institute. I'm based in the Knoxville, Tennessee, area. I'm here to help people get access to free apprenticeship curriculum and free online training in casting and forging. Our main goal is to build a talent pipeline in advanced manufacturing so that we can reshore effectively. All about reindustrialization. https://www.noramark.com/iacmi-metal/

Hi everyone, Iām Ethan Copple, a systems scientist with a background in industrial engineering and anthropology. I'm wrapping up a Ph.D. in IE focused on complex systems analysis and improvement that examines healthcare delivery through a supply chain lens. I'll be graduating this fall and looking to transfer my skills to industry and the reindustrialization movement. Iām especially interested in the intersection of operations, strategy, and human factors. Excited to connect, share ideas, and contribute to the conversation, especially in relation to the infrastructures needed to reindustrialize.

Hello. My name is David. LinkedIn
I have been running Cyber City Circuits since 2018 in Augusta, Ga. We do a lot of PCB Assembly. We have three pick-and-place machines and can stay busy with them from time to time. It is feast or famine, am I right?
I also do a bit of PCB design work. Often, it is for people who already have a proof of concept with some Adafruit boards or such, and need someone to make it into a functional PCB for their product. It is a lot of fun.
I also write for Digikey's industry magazine. History of engineering kind of articles. It's all very dense material, and I imagine some are tough to get through. Expect to sit down for at least half an hour if you're going to read the Wildman Whitehouse article, for example. (https://cybercitycircuits.com/retro-electro-the-little-told-history-of-electronics/)
I specialize in making electronic PCB Event Badges. (www.BadgesBadgesBadges.com) While PCB Assembly and prototyping, testing, QC, etc., are the moneymakers, badges accounted for a large portion of revenue last year.
I have run many soldering workshops since 2019, teaching over 1,000 people in that time. I can teach up to 150 people in one day. I am the first person in US history to teach a US First Lady how to solder. Jill Biden crashed a summer camp I was teaching in the summer of 2023. That was pretty neat. If you know someone interested in having a large workshop, it is a traveling show.
I also offer a free 30-minute live one-on-one PCB DFM review if anyone here is interested. There is no obligation, and I may be able to save you money on your next production run.
Thank you for your time.

Hi David @CyberCityCircuits, I love the badges and want to order some in the near future.
How does the badge design work? Is it a collaborative process or is it expected that I would know how to design it? -
Welcome @CyberCityCircuits !!
