Brian Kippen is back after nearly four years to talk about an incredible period of growth and change at KAD Models. From teaching machining to acquiring a wire forming business, adding a MAM with automation, and managing three facilities across two coasts—all while raising a toddler. We dive into the cultural challenges of bringing precision work to a fast-paced prototype shop, the reality of machine automation ROI, and why delegation is harder than it sounds.
