![]() ![]() I have many techniques for developing integrated circuit boards in a quick turn fashion, but mechanical parts always have been a slow process. I have always been a faithful believer of rapid prototyping, and in 2010 3D printing was just starting to get some steam. I knew I would come back at some point and move onto the next adventure of starting my own business. You get new perspective when you live out of the country for many years and it gives you an appreciation for how blessed our country really is. I sold everything, moved on a boat, and sailed the Caribbean for 5 years with my wife and dog. ![]() ![]() Some of the ideas were radical, and sometimes they didn’t work, but in the end, I had 10 patents and a view for the next generation of technology to come.Īfter many years in an industry that keeps getting faster and faster, with more and more stress, I decided it was enough. I was always looking for ways to take the technology that we used and make it smaller, faster, better, and cheaper. The lasers we used were over two hundred thousand dollars apiece and the equipment sold in the millions. ![]() The technology was impressive and expensive. The machines we made could fire a laser pulse at a different location on a semiconductor wafer with nanometer precision and do these 200,000 times a second. We patented laser technologies that enabled dramatic shifts in the ability to manufacture new and exciting products that we now know and love like the smart phone, high density memory chips for your SD cards and thumb drives, and virtually every electronic device made. In my previous work, I was a system engineer and in executive management for a large Fortune 500 laser equipment company. Jay, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today. Today we’d like to introduce you to Jay Johnson. ![]()
