Experience, applied practically

Built on more than three decades around manufacturing.

Lee Sanders has spent more than three decades in manufacturing, from programming CNC and wire EDM machines to leading technical consulting teams at Autodesk. Along the way he has been named on five patents and learned that the best solutions usually come from listening to the people running the machines.

“For every idea that made it through, there were many more that didn’t. Innovation works best when you create the space for people to share what they see.”
