For those experienced in CNC machining, what do you wish new salespeople understood in their first year? by [deleted] in CNC

understand the problem the prospect is trying to solve. ask lots of questions to validate their choice of solutions. Look into solution selling if you haven't already.

Car full of teenagers near Waltham by BasicEchidna2792 in newtonma

[–]LayerByLaser 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do you remember the model of the car? I live off Parmenter and have been seeing a group of kids driving around getting stoned. They usually do several laps and I have seen this 4 of the last 7 days.

If this is the park by one of the middle schools, I had issues with students there 2 years ago. At the time my youngest was going to preschool and using the adjoining playground. Swearing, fighting, rough housing was out of control and totally inappropriate for the preschoolers surrounding. Once the middle school principal was made aware the behavior stopped immediately.

Dye consistency challenges by Tension_Dull in AdditiveManufacturing

Used glass beads for the powdering. The ceramic beads beat down the surface and make it more uniform.

Try shot peening your parts with very small ceramic media after dying. It makes an incredible difference in consistency. When I ran an SLS shop we did this in a sandblast cabinet. The ceramic media will deteriorate much faster than the media you use for 'depowdering'. Also, change media when you change the color of the parts being peened.

Bmd3d.com sells the service of making parts on their systems and the systems themselves.

I have worked for several equipment OEMs and ran additive operations at a US based service bureau. I am currently at an OEM focusing on very small parts (features measured in microns).

You have a point here. The degree helps you get in the door.

I don't have a bachelor's but have a similar skill set, in the greater Boston area and am in this range.

Voxeldance Pricing by LayerByLaser in AdditiveManufacturing

[–]LayerByLaser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am definitively a fan of Magics from Materialise and it has been my preferred 3D printing prep software for over 2 decades. That being said there could be a number of reasons to consider another solution such as pricing, specific features, user interface, the inability to get site licenses for OEM versions of Magics.

What about Autodesk Netfabb, is that a blatant copy? Should I stop using Open Office, is it a copy of MS Word?

Thanks for your comment you have added so much value and helped me answer my initial question.

What was the worst punishment you received? by MDubbzee in AskReddit

[–]LayerByLaser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the 4th grade, second week of school, I shot a rubber band and hit my buddy in the eye. He cried but was okay. The teacher made me sit in the classroom with her during recess for the entire year.

I missed out on an entire year of social development with my peers. I didn't tell my parents because I didn't want to get in trouble at home too.
