Show Notes
Matt Parlmer is the founder and CEO of General Fabrication Company, a self-reproducing factory company.
We cover the origins of Gen Fab in the realization that we now have the tools to build machines that build themselves (see: The Von Neumann Constructor), the possibilities created by small modular manufacturing in electronics, robotic wet labs, and more; building a vertically integrated industrial company, light industrial parts farms, the need for American industrial policy to include civilian industry in re-industrialization strategy, levers for re-shoring American manufacturing, the unexpected passing of our good friend, Nick Simmons, and the future of General Fabrication.
