With temperatures rising to around 117degrees, we arrived in Mesa Arizona to visit Heatsync Labs as part of our Southwest Tour. We have actually seen a tour of Heatsync in the past, and you should probably refer back to it for the quick run-through of the facility. When I was there, there was simply so much to see and talk about that the video ended up running over 10 minutes and I feel we barely scratched the surface of what was going on.Check out the video above to see a few things, like the giant laser cutter, the electron microscope, some mold making, the beat lab (called “Beatsync”, and the 3d printing. We briefly walk through the facility, but mainly I spent time letting people tell me about what they were making.
I have to give them credit, the entire trip my sons were disappointed that they couldn’t find their names on the tourist attraction keychains available all over. The folks at Heatsync remedied that by cutting some custom keychains with their names on them.
