Hello everyone,
Things are progressing. Working out the kinks and finalizing some processes. We met again late last week with our final assembler to review the steps as we ready for production. There are many parts that they'll order and have at the ready, simply because they do so much work that requires these simple parts that they get them at a much lower price than we could. It is an amazing spectacle to watch Pick and Place machines work at the speed they do. That said, some of the work required to build the camera is specialized to the point that we're working with the assembly company to customize, automate and speed some of the processes, such as the lens focus.
We've had a little hiccup with the shutter supplier as that damn little piece of etched metal is being made and processed in three different states, Michigan, Oregon and California before being shipped to us in Illinois. We know that sounds stupid, but cost and quality actually play out better for us this way. Sometimes, things just make no sense, until they do.
We continue to interview to fill staff positions that will be required as we come to market. Thank heavens there are companies that specialize in logistics.
So you know, in reply to some of the comments, everyone who has requested a refund has received it, except for the handful of people from whom we're waiting on PayPal info. To the rest of you who've held out and been patient with us, we appreciate it and are rushing as fast as we can.
Cheers,
MuOptics
