Estimator and Special Projects at MODICA Microindustries, Inc. - Seattle, Washington, United States
Normalizing the physical form factors and data languages of machines, tools, and workspaces, MODICA builds scalable human workspace and robotic micromanufacturing modules that are deployed into underutilized warehouses and industrial buildings through a process of adaptive re-use. MODICA enables on-demand multi-process Manufacturing-as-a-Service in space-constrained nascent, developing, and mature industrial markets, and enables rapid, flexible, and cost-effective reactivation of former industrial, commercial, military, and municipal sites and structures. We envision a world where manufacturing tools talk with each other to coordinate production, and microfactories are distributed around the world to produce goods closer to points of use. We envision a world where creaky defunct steel mills, musty maintenance hangars, and undeveloped real estate can gain new life as technical innovation hubs, micro- (and macro-) factories, and active social coworking centers.
