The spinout company from our group (current and past members, Thomas Sun and Robert Hoye), NanoPrint, is moving fast along with its first prototype machine nearly built. We are grateful to Maxwell for allowing us to start up there. We are also grateful for the networking opportunities with other start-ups in Maxwell.
The group wishes farewell to Erik, who has been with the group and wider DMG for over 2 years! Erik has been incredibly helpful to all group members, you will be missed!
