OilStick keeps selling out, thousands of production jobs are hitting the farm, and nearly every part of Slant 3D is scaling at the same time.
In this episode of the Slant 3D Podcast, we break down the OilStick production madness as the team works to catch Amazon back up, improve assembly efficiency, and begin automating parts of the process. At the same time, Kraken gets slammed with thousands of jobs, a GitHub outage slows software updates, and the production team works through a growing backlog.
We also talk about hiring six new people, potentially adding another building, bringing dozens of additional 3D printers online, expanding Portals advertising, testing new tools for sellers, onboarding a major Amazon fulfillment client, and dealing with the day-to-day reality of scaling a massive 3D printing operation.
This is what scaling distributed manufacturing actually looks like when production, software, fulfillment, hiring, and demand all start growing at once.
