APOLLO IS BACK!!!

Ordered a custom steel gobo today for a wedding. Perhaps things are improving.
Thank you so much for the business, Bill.
Looks like FedEx delivery will be tomorrow end of day-

Scheduled delivery:
Thursday, March 11, 2021 by end of day
 
What kind of crazy things is the medical industry doing with lasers that can cut steel for gobos? Internal tattoos burned into my chest cavity during open-heart surgery?
Well....
When I had three stents inserted into my heart last March they were little, tiny titanium jobs. The machines we have make those little guys-
 
Also, cauterization of blood vessels. CO2 lasers are fun.

I miss the water cooled argon lasers of last century... /nudge, wink

Agreed and understood; they were pretty but had zero ability to manufacture precise stents.
I'm forecasting a whole new and profitable product line for Apollo and / or Blue Pony.
Think POSITIVE!!
Toodleoo!

When they figure out how to get Teflon® to stick to itself we'll have "Print-a-stent" 3d plans posted at Github.

I think there are several markets for half tone gobos. Theater (scenic, special visual FX w/o a video projector), HoW, atmostpheric/environmental in retail and dining, signage and branding. Some of the use cases will be more price sensitive than others but costs are material, design time (making sure all the parts will stay connected/structural integrity/longevity) and the time put on the laser head. I'm sure the design for any metal gobo is not trivial but half tones would change the dynamic of durability.
 
Anxiously awaiting the restocking of the SmartMove rotator! Will be ordering as soon as we are able. Glad to hear all is well.
