Model Makers and Makerspaces

APMM 2014 San Jose CA

A client wanted a blimp on a pub crawler to use at SXSW

Our shop didn’t have the capability or space but ADX Portland made it

happen

ADX used their large CNC Router and other wood- and metal-shop tools…

…and their huge factory floor to assemble the blimp and fit it to a local

pub crawler

Makerspaces are popping up everywhere
