Justin unpacks Fusion Summit details, discusses CloudNC, and a new fast way to import files into Fusion 360. They tackle the tangled web of quoting—should it be simple or super complex? The guys also vent about the production clock ticking too fast and debate whether Gantt charts are a savior or a pain. Plus, a chinwag about the new Airtable AI Beta.
