Automation Night on Wednesday 5/9 7pm at Pumping Station:One

[Sacha De'Angeli]

Hi folks,

Blog post with pretty pictures is here.

The second Wednesday of every month is Automation Night, dedicated to hobbyist and professional automated manufacturing tools like 3D printers, CNC mills and lathes, laser cutters, cake frosters, and wire benders.

Are you interested in at-home automated manufacturing? Do you like the idea of owning your own 3D printer, laser cutter, automated mill, router table, or other astounding automatons? Then this is the night for you!

Please attend if you’re interested in learning more, already have an automated tool at home, want to show off your latest build, or just want to meet locals who are into this exciting technology!
