EnRoute Workshop a Success

I am pleased to report that we held our EnRoute Workshop in Denver on October 23-24, and by all accounts it was a success.  We were very pleased with the turnout - we had EnRoute users here from as far away as Massachusetts, California, and Texas, and as close as here in the Denver area.  We also had some users here from different parts of Canada.  It was a great group of people, and we all had fun exchanging information and ideas.  I hope that our users were energized by the workshop, and I know that our EnRoute team was energized.  We have already been exchanging ideas about how we can make the next one better. One of the things I asked for from each participant was a 'Wish List' of things they would like to see in EnRoute.  I plan to compile the list of responses and then discuss them here in the coming weeks.  I have looked through the lists and there are a lot of good ideas to consider.

Thank you to everyone who participated.  It was a lot of work, but well worth the effort.  Right now I am looking out my window at over a foot of snow on the ground.  Schools are cancelled today and flights are delayed.  I think we got lucky with the nice fall weather we had.

Hard Projects

I am always interested to hear about big jobs that our users build using EnRoute.  I'm working on preparations for the upcoming EnRoute Workshop and in one of the sessions we will talk about the limits of the software, CNC machines, materials, etc.  I'm hoping that our workshop attendees will all have some good examples of projects they have done that stretch the limits.  And of course, it isn't always the physically large projects that stretch the limits.  Maybe you have a small project that is very complex, or one that has fine detail, or maybe one that required you to meet some strict specifications.

If you have a project that you would like to share with me for the workshop, I would be interested to hear about it.  The project in the image in this post is one that wasn't particularly complex, but it came to me as an inspiration while I was on a backpacking trip this summer.  It is a picture frame that I created as a memento of the trip.  If you want to send files or photos to me, send them to jeff@artisticautomation.com.  I will be happy to give you credit at the workshop.  Who knows, maybe it will generate some business.
