The MIT FrED Factory who will be demoing their Fiber Extrusion Device at the Venture Café Connection Collider on July 25 and August 1 from 5pm - 7:30pm.

FrED Factory is a MIT lab building Fiber Extrusion devices for educational purposes. The aim of their demo is to get feedback on the device whose first 50 units will be sold this August to professionals looking to train their team on the implication of changing parameters on a closed loop control system.

During the demo, you will be able to modify temperature and motor speed to see the consequences on the diameter of a fiber in real time.
