My name is Erik. I'm a former process engineer that worked in manufacturing who made a career change into software engineering. Currently I'm the technical lead on the factory software team at Formlabs. We are responsible for the software used in assembling, validating, calibrating and analyzing our 3D printers and peripheral devices.

I think a lot about how manufacturing and software are similar and the lessons they can learn from each other. Sometimes I write about those things here.
