#686 – A Benchtop Pick and Place with Stephen Hawes

N/A • 21 januari 2025

Welcome, Stephen Hawes!

Chris interviewed Stephen back in 2020 for his second episode of The Contextual Electronics Podcast. It was when Stephen was still working at Formlabs and the Lumen/Opulo were a glimmer in his eye.
The Lumen v4 is a Benchtop Pick and Place machine that works with OpenPNP

Is this the year you should get a Pick and Place? Stephen won’t say yes (but I will)
