Our 57th Boston Hardware Meetup overall is coming up soon! This is our first-ever summer meetup, hosted at [Formlabs](https://formlabs.com/). Come on over to learn how innovative companies bridge the gap between hardware and software!

🤖 **Bring your latest build and demos to share!**

​Hardware Meetups happen across 30+ cities around the world, bringing together hardware professionals to network, share knowledge, and support each other and the larger hardware ecosystem.
​
**We have a great group of guest speakers**

* Formlabs' own [Jon Evans ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/craftyjon/), Electrical Engineering Lead, will pull back the curtains to reveal ways in which Formlabs approaches Engineering design decisions, using the problem of measuring the level of resin in our SLA 3D printers (and how our solutions have changed over time) as an example.
* ​[Nathaniel Rippin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathanielrippin/), Marketing Manager at VR Industries, will share hard-earned lessons on scaling hardware the right way, from picking the right manufacturing partner to avoiding common pitfalls in design and firmware flashing. If you’re moving from prototype to production, this is the playbook you want.
