Doug and Dave met when their kids were in the early Young Makers program. Now the children are adults and moved on, but we're still building, creating and experimenting with new materials and methods. Doug brings experience with modeling and fabrication using 3D printers and machine tools. Dave is a retired computer engineer and compulsive builder.
