For nerds for all things mechanical and programmable, walking into the Ocean State Maker Mill (OSMM) is moving! At first sight, the beautiful machines decorating the room draw the eye: 3D printers, CNCs, laser cutters and more! It is enough to bring a tear to the eye of any creative type. The OSMM is a […]
