20th San Jose Hardware Meetup @ Peak Technology | Physical manufacturing
20th San Jose Hardware Meetup @ Peak Technology Enterprises | Advanced Manufacturing
We're back for the 20th San Jose Hardware Meetup! This time, we're at Peak Technology Enterprises' facility in San Jose — and we're digging into what it actually takes to manufacture at scale.
From CNC machining and additive manufacturing to fabrication, forming, and full system integration, getting a product from prototype to production is one of the hardest problems in hardware. Join us for an evening of expert talks, real-world case studies, and honest conversation with the people building complex parts and assemblies for aerospace, biomedical, semiconductor, and defense every day.
🤖 Bring hardware demos for open mic.
We have a great lineup of speakers:
