    Episode 9 - Future Technologies

    Welcome to the 9th episode of the Kern Competence Podcast! Today Simon and I chat about something very dear to me - future technologies! We've had a couple of fantastic breakthroughs in milling, scribing, grinding of mundane materials like aluminium and brass, but also exotic, hard, brittle materials like technical ceramics and glass. Simon and I dig deep into how we, as a small enterprise, can be so innovative and what worth developing new technologies has.
