What do you mean by ‘concierge’ service?
You are a busy professional who has better things to do than to drag your laptop into the nearest big box store. We work remotely or at your place of business to ensure that the fix is properly configured for your environment. We are your single point of contact because we navigate the call centers or support chats for all peripheral equipment. We focus on getting your tech running at your speed of business.
How do I add a 3D print lab to my home business?
As a seasoned technician, my focus is adapting your technology to meet your needs. For start ups or expansions, the operational impact of running new equipment isn’t just about the numbers. MTS reviews your makerspace, discusses your workflow restraints, and evaluates the pros and cons of making changes.
MTS provides equipment reviews and recommendations, processing instructions, to do checklists, and shopping lists to support your project growth. We also offer both annual service contracts, and training for your new tech.
What do you do when you aren’t resolving other people’s problems?
After I retired from the Navy, I decided to keep traveling. My wife and son love exploring new cultures with me both by visting exotic international destinations or the even stranger quirks of our own country. Closer to home, I enjoy trying to teach my cats that printer filament is not a toy. I also parent a highly active sports ball playing teen, who I am trying to persuade into picking up gig work until his BBQ sauce making business goes viral. Maybe 3D printed car accessories?
