About

This is a show. It’s called Brainchild. It’s a show about people with ideas; big ideas, small ideas, it doesn’t matter. What’s important about them is that they nourish and develop those ideas and pop them out into the real world. I’m talking about inventors, designers, artists, business owners, entrepreneurs and other people whose lifestyle is their creativity.

We met Matthew and Jillian at the Maker Faire last fall. They are every bit as inspirational as they appear on film! Thanks so much for interviewing them. This pretty much answered any questions I had left

Design studio with a smoke alarm chirp going off every 45 seconds.

I love their stuff though, just I can imagine it takes soooo many hours on the computer, but the results are fantastic.

The cnc routers are under 10K right?

Christiane - I’m really glad to be of service. Hopefully I’ll be able to do the same for a lot of makers and designers.

Chris - The smoke alarm was a bit of a bother. The router makes producing models tons faster than building by hand, though. Having worked in a lot of rapid prototyping settings, I can attest to that. CNC routers run the gamut between 5K and 30K depending on their size, precision, and stregnth. The ShopBot routers like the one BWC uses are probably in the range of 12K.
