  AZ TRT 2.0 - AZ Tech Ecosystem: Making the World Better Thru Technology w/ Eric Miller of PADT, Inc. AZ TRT S07 EP13 (295) 8-23-2026   What We Learned This Week ·         A great product doesn't build a great company by itself. Founders eventually have to build the organization around the product—sales, marketing, finance, HR and people. The founder's job changes as the company scales. ·         The 80/20 rule applies to company building. Figure out what you are uniquely good at, keep strategic functions close, and bring in employees, fractional executives or outside specialists to fill the gaps. ·         You don't get the value of a technology community by joining—it comes from showing up. Eric's experience with the Arizona Technology Council, Venture madness & Arizona Commerce Authority demonstrates that relationships, customers, suppliers and friendships develop through repeated participation. ·         Arizona's technology economy is much bigger than semiconductors. Aerospace, photonics, medical devices, university research, startups and advanced manufacturing are all part of the ecosystem. Universities are particularly important because they help turn research into commercial companies. ·         Today's technology was somebody's science fiction yesterday. Eric's Star Trek story is a great reminder that technologies that once seemed impossible—3D printing, advanced lasers, handheld communications and artificial hearts—can eventually become real-world tools that change people's lives.   Guest: Eric Miller, Principal & Co-Founder PADT, Inc.

Every day I get to work with smart employees, interesting customers, and fantastic vendors. Those are the basic facts, read on to learn more or follow my regular musings in the Phoenix Business Journal The official bio: Eric Miller is a co-owner of Tempe based PADT, Inc., where he is involved in providing tools and services to companies who design and manufacture physical products. He holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley and has lived in Arizona since 1986. He started his career focusing on the application of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computer Aided Design (CAD) to simulate turbine engine components. Over the years he became recognized as an expert user of the ANSYS software tool and in the development of custom software to automate the product simulation and design process. As a co-founder of PADT in 1994, Eric was able to also pursue his interests in IT, graphic design, additive manufacturing, database programming, and small business management. As both PADT and the use of advanced engineering tools grew, Eric became exposed to dozens of different industries and developed his broad understanding of the application of technology for product development and manufacturing. After over three decades in the industry, Eric is often called upon to write and speak on simulation, design, and 3D Printing as well as on startups and the high-tech sector. His involvement in the startup community includes angel investing as well as mentoring and serving on steering, screening, and advisory boards of a variety of technical organizations and institutions. His current and past "other" jobs are listed under Experience below. In his spare time, Eric enjoys traveling, history, cooking, running (slowly), and learning about new things.   PADT Inc. A New Company (1994) PADT's founders felt that the tools and skills they used as aerospace engineers to design, analyze, and prototype turbomachinery had applications in other industries. In the summer of 1994, they left their corporate jobs to form Phoenix Analysis and Design Technologies, Inc., better known as PADT. The first office was a one-person executive suite in Tempe, Arizona, crammed with four people and three computers. From this tiny room, they started calling potential customers. Slowly but surely, work began to come in, and the company was off and running. With the purchase of a 3D Systems SLA250 3D printer at the end of 1994, PADT became the first independent Rapid Prototyping service provider in Arizona. 30 Years and Beyond Doing anything for 30 years is an achievement worth noting. When we approached our 30th anniversary, we were dealing with something we never thought of in 1994, employees were retiring from PADT.  Or 30th year started well with continued growth around simulation. As our long-term partner, Ansys, continues to grow and evolve, so does  PADT.  The same is true for Flownex, with its adoption across the US, backed by PADT's sales and support team. The team has also met the challenge of changes in the Additive Manufacturing space, upping our offerings around the medical and aerospace industries. Our 4th decade also so the launch of several products designed with customers by our Product Development team.  Since 1994, PADT has grown to become the most respected technology company in the region. By sticking to its core principles and growing its skill and technology base. The company has positioned itself to continue this by providing the best solutions to new and current customers. Nerdtoberfest - PADT's annual open house. 2026 Event – Wed. Oct. 28 from 4 - 8pm ASU Research Park / Tempe PADT open house Technology demonstrations Community networking Partnership with the Arizona Technology Council Previous event attracted approximately 700 registrants Technology ecosystems are built by people getting together—not just companies operating independently.   Notes: AZ Tech Roundtable — Eric Miller, PADT, Inc. Interview: August 2026 Guest / Company Overview Eric Miller & PADT Eric Miller is a principal and co-owner of PADT, Inc. Eric came from an aerospace engineering background and, with two partners, started PADT in 1994. PADT originally stood for Phoenix Analysis and Design Technologies. The company was founded by engineers to serve mechanical engineers. PADT is broader than simply being a 3D-printing company. Its work includes engineering products, services, 3D printing, advanced manufacturing and technologies such as lasers. Eric's involvement in Arizona technology extends well beyond PADT: Arizona Technology Council board member Venture Cafe mentor Venture Madness board involvement Entrepreneur in Residence at the Arizona Commerce Authority Eric is also heavily involved in mentoring companies and giving back to the Arizona technology community. Segment 1 — What Founders Learn About Building a Company It's Not Just About Having a Great Product One of the biggest lessons Eric learned from starting a company is that a good idea and a good product aren't enough. You also have to build the organization around the product: Sales Marketing Finance/accounting HR Operations People The founder has to eventually stop thinking only like the person who created the product and start thinking like the person building the company. The 80/20 Rule for Founders Eric's advice is to identify the areas where you're strongest and weakest and then determine where your time is best spent. The founder doesn't have to personally do everything. Instead: Know what you need to control and know what you can delegate. That can mean hiring employees, outsourcing functions or bringing in fractional executives/advisors. What Should Stay In-House? Eric's basic rule: If something is strategic or integral to the business, you generally want to keep it in-house. For PADT, accounting is an example. Eric chose to keep accounting internally because the company's accounting requirements are very specific to the business. For another technology company, however, outsourcing finance and accounting might make perfect sense. Fractional Talent Eric highlighted the growth of fractional roles. A company can bring in an experienced person part-time to help with a critical function without taking on the cost of a full-time executive. This can give a growing company access to: Expertise Decision-making Strategic guidance Experience without requiring a full-time salary. Hire HR Earlier Than You Think Eric believes companies should bring in HR expertise relatively early. Even if HR is initially outsourced, somebody needs to be paying attention to: Hiring Onboarding Benefits Employee issues Culture People management People are your company's most important asset. Eric's own company uses Employers Council for HR support. Strategic Functions vs. Specialized Functions An interesting distinction from the conversation: Keep strategic knowledge and decision-making close to the company. Outsource specialized expertise when it makes sense. For example, PADT outsources patent work to patent attorneys who often have engineering backgrounds themselves. That gives both sides a common technical language. Segment 2 — Arizona's Technology Ecosystem PADT's History of Spinning Out Companies PADT itself has contributed to the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Examples discussed: Salad and Go - Founded by a former PADT employee. Luminosity - An engineering/technology consulting company associated with ASU and founded by former PADT employee Tyler Smith. The larger lesson: Companies don't just create products. They can create people who go on to create other companies. PADT has therefore become part of the ecosystem's entrepreneurial "gene pool." Why Arizona's Tech Community Can Be Confusing The conversation broke down several organizations that play different roles in Arizona's technology ecosystem. Arizona Technology Council Eric described the Arizona Technology Council as one of the most important organizations in the state's technology ecosystem. Approximately 700 member companies Members span: Technology IT Manufacturing Aerospace Medical devices Eric serves on the board. The organization advocates at the state legislature. It works to promote business growth. It also provides business services, including programs involving areas such as 401(k)s and healthcare. Perhaps most importantly, it creates a community for companies and people to meet each other. The Real Value Is Showing Up One of Eric's strongest points: Joining an organization isn't enough. You have to actually attend the events. Eric has developed: Friendships Business relationships Customers Suppliers Partnerships -       through the Technology Council. He originally joined looking for suppliers and customers but discovered that the broader relationships became just as valuable. The lesson: You don't get the value of a business community by becoming a member. You get it by participating. Unexpected Business Relationships Eric gave the example of developing a partnership with Tom Sullivan of Air2O through his involvement with the Council. The broader point is that networking often produces opportunities you weren't specifically looking for. Technology Council Events Examples discussed: Manufacturing showcase with GCU Cybersecurity events Annual awards event in November Other technology/community networking events The manufacturing event is particularly interesting because Arizona has relatively few traditional manufacturing trade shows despite the state's rapidly expanding manufacturing base. Segment 3 — Venture Cafe, Venture Madness & the Startup Ecosystem Venture Cafe Venture Cafe provides an informal entry point into Arizona's startup and technology community. Thursday evenings Approximately 5–7 PM Phoenix Bioscience Core Rotating programming Topics can include: AI Food technology Aerospace Other emerging technologies Entrepreneurship The key idea: you don't need to already be deeply embedded in the startup ecosystem to show up and meet people. Eric also serves as a mentor. Other Startup Community Organizations The discussion also referenced Freeway, associated with Danielle Santangelo, as another part of the startup ecosystem. Venture Madness Venture Madness was described as Arizona's premier startup pitch event. Designed to connect startups with investors Similar in concept to Shark Tank Has been operating for more than 20 years Originally called Invest Southwest Has evolved/pivoted over time to remain relevant to investors and founders Eric serves on the board The core purpose: Connect capital with companies that are looking for funding. Arizona Commerce Authority Public-Private Economic Development The Arizona Commerce Authority plays a different role from the Technology Council and startup organizations. Eric described it as a public-private partnership focused on economic development. Its mission includes: Recruiting companies to Arizona Helping companies expand in Arizona Growing the state's economy Supporting founders and funders Eric serves as an Entrepreneur in Residence. One major example discussed was the tremendous manufacturing growth in the West Valley, including the arrival and expansion of TSMC. Arizona Tech Week The conversation highlighted the first Arizona Tech Week in spring 2026. It generated more than 400 events, demonstrating the appetite for technology-related engagement across the state. Arizona's Manufacturing Boom Aerospace + Semiconductors = Economic Engines One of the strongest themes in the interview was the transformation of Arizona's economy through technology-driven manufacturing. Eric identified two especially important sectors: Semiconductors Arizona's semiconductor story has deep roots. The discussion referenced: Motorola Freescale ON Semiconductor Intel Amkor TSMC The state's semiconductor ecosystem now extends across manufacturing, packaging and supporting technologies. TSMC The enormous TSMC investment in the West Valley represents one of the most significant developments in Arizona manufacturing. Aerospace Arizona also has a major aerospace ecosystem involving companies such as: Northrop Grumman Honeywell Aerospace Viasat Iridium Orbital Sciences The state also has missile and aerospace-related activity in Tucson. Eric's broader point was that aerospace and semiconductors are becoming major economic engines for Arizona. Segment 4 — Universities as Technology Economic Engines A major insight from the interview: The strongest technology ecosystems tend to be built around universities. Eric compared Arizona with other major technology centers: Silicon Valley Boston Austin The common thread is the presence of major universities and research institutions. Arizona's Three Major Research Universities University of Arizona Tucson Strong in optics/photonics Medical research Technology commercialization Eric's memorable description of Tucson's optics/photonics ecosystem: "It's all light." This can encompass: Cameras Lenses Satellite imaging Photonics Advanced optical technologies Arizona State University Phoenix/Tempe Major research and technology commercialization engine SkySong serves as an important technology/community hub Northern Arizona University Flagstaff Third major research university contributing to Arizona's technology ecosystem Turning University Research Into Companies The universities don't just conduct research. They can help commercialize research and turn it into businesses. Examples discussed: Tech Launch Arizona Associated with the University of Arizona and focused on moving university technology toward commercialization. SkySong ASU's technology/business ecosystem in Scottsdale. These types of organizations help turn: Research → Technology → Commercial Product → Company Areas mentioned include: Medical devices Cryptography Photonics Advanced technologies Eric noted that this university-to-company pipeline is one of the characteristics shared by successful technology ecosystems around the country. Technology as a Force for Economic Growth One of the broader ideas running through the interview: Technology can be an economic engine for an entire region. Arizona's combination of: Universities Research Manufacturing Aerospace Semiconductors Medical devices Startup capital Entrepreneurial communities creates an ecosystem rather than isolated technology companies. Examples discussed include: GE Ultrasound in Tempe Medical technology in Tucson Artificial-heart technology developed by a Tucson company Semiconductor manufacturing Aerospace and space technologies Photonics Eric also referenced the Arizona company involved in retrieving a sample from an asteroid as another example of the extraordinary technology being developed in the state. The Human Side of Technology Star Trek as Inspiration One of the best personal stories from the interview came at the end. Eric's original inspiration for technology came from Star Trek. As a kid, he saw technology portrayed as something that could make the world better. Today, he gets to work with technologies that once seemed like science fiction: 3D printing Advanced lasers Handheld communication Advanced imaging Other emerging technologies The larger idea: The future we imagined as kids eventually becomes the technology we build as adults. Eric's work at PADT allows him to experience some of that firsthand. Bonus Conversation — Star Trek & Branding There was also an interesting side discussion about Star Trek's visual branding. The uniforms used color coding to communicate roles: Yellow — command Red — engineering Blue — science Matt connected this to branding and organizational communication. The lesson: Good branding reduces confusion. When people can immediately understand what something represents, the organization becomes easier to navigate. This applies not just to logos and colors but to: Roles Products Services Organizational structures Messaging       Tech Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Tech-Startup-VC-Cybersecurity-Energy-Science  Best of Tech: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/size/5/?search=best+of+tech   'Best Of' Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+of+BRT      Thanks for Listening.

Factory Automation + Robots w/ Brett Dooley of Bosch Rexroth  BRT S04 EP24 (187) 6-18-2023   What We Learned This Week Rexroth does factory automation, assembly lines, and robotic manufacturing – they setup the whole process + software Factories in recent years have gone more and more to automation and robotics. The idea being zero people on the factory floor or ‘lights out'. There are also transport robots, AI or autonomous robot transports. They deliver goods and parts around the factory floor.    ·     Brad Dooley has a background as an engineer (post           career in the Navy) he is the only Rexroth employee in                  Arizona. His job is to create business relationships with                 EV, battery and chip industries.    ·    Factory Automation - The planning cycle could be several years. These big factories could be making millions of parts for example - spark plugs in the auto industry.    ·     Modern factories are a collaborative workspace, people     in machines in the same space in a safe manner.       Guest: Brett Dooley - Senior Technical Sales Engineer, Bosch Rexroth  https://www.linkedin.com/in/dooleybrett/  Brett Dooley is a mechanical engineer at Bosch-Rexroth. He collaborates with business owners as well as engineers to develop targeted solutions for motion control and automation challenges. Brett uses his wide experience in business development, industrial repair, and a decade as an electronics tech in the US Navy submarine force to ensure delivery of an effective and robust automation system.    Bosch Rexroth  https://www.boschrexroth.com/en/us YOUR PARTNER FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF MOBILE MACHINES Whether driving or working, hydraulic, hybrid or fully electric, Bosch Rexroth offers highly efficient, low noise and powerful electric motors, generators, inverters and hydraulics combined with modular software modules.   2017 -  Today: Bosch Rexroth drives the digital transformation of the Factory of the Future, exceeds the limits with Connected Hydraulics and sets the stage for Transforming Mobile Machines. All products and solutions contribute to a more sustainable development of machines, manufacturing and daily life.   2001 – 2016: Move to one brand for software driven and interconnectible Drive & Control solutions The merger of Mannesmann Rexroth with Bosch Automationstechnik establishes a global leader for Drive & Control solutions. They reach new levels of seamless integration of all relevant technologies for improved energy efficiency and safety.   The origin of Bosch Rexroth's long history is influenced by constant movement. It all started with a water-powered hammer mill, followed by an iron foundry in Lohr am Main. Bosch Rexroth's unique industry expertise has become synonymous with tailored solutions. 1795 – 1964: Move from iron foundry to hydraulic solutions From forging iron out of ore to a foundry for cast iron, Rexroth entered the hydraulics market in the 1950s and laid the foundation to become a global market leader.     Notes:   Bosch and Rexroth each have company histories from late 1700s, 200+ years old dates back to the steel and iron industries. Both or German companies, businesses worldwide with factories in US and Europe.   Bosch has a background in auto manufacturing of parts. Rex Roth deals in machinery automation factories.   Brad Dooley has a background as an engineer he is the only Rexroth employee in Arizona. His job is to create business relationships with EV, battery and chip industries. Since he has a background in engineering he understands the tech and manufacturing.   Seg 2 Factories in recent years have gone more and more to automation and robotics. The idea being zero people on the factory floor or ‘lights out'. Regardless of whether people are working in the factory there's always people monitoring and maintaining the factory. Cameras are used also to monitor. Factory size could be similar to a QT gas station or as massive as an airport terminal.  Rexroth automation is involved in Bosch auto parts, fast moving consumer goods, and even medical equipment. Factories on an automation line could have hundreds of robot arms putting together equipment. There are also transport robots, AI or autonomous robot transports. They deliver goods and parts around the factory floor. Multi million dollar cost to build this automation set up in a factory, could be 100,000,000+ for bigger factories.  The planning cycle could be several years. These big factories could be making millions of parts for example - spark plugs in the auto industry. The smaller size factory, like the QT building is a subset of factory design. Doing less volume for higher priced goods like medical devices. They could be producing hundreds to thousands. Examples could be an x-ray machine, table top analysis type health machine for blood analysis or bigger machines like an MRI machine.   Seg 3  Brett's background is an engineer, who also served 11 years in the Navy. He was working on submarines and monitoring nuclear reactors. He had to wear a disseminator jacket which monitors for radiation with a meter. In 2008, he got out of the Navy, went to school at ASU for mechanical engineering.  After ASU, got a job with automation components distributor in Arizona. He has an electronics background and then in 2021,  he got the job with Bosch Rex Roth as Arizona's sole employee. Bosch Rexroth already has a market share in Detroit Michigan in the auto industry. Their automation of manufacturing is considered industry standard with a long track record. Brett is working in Arizona to build awareness for box Bosch Rexroth. Create contacts in the battery in the EV manufacturing area. Get them as potential clients. Bosch spends 6% of their budget on R&D. Not a lot of money is spent on marketing. A lot of the business is word of mouth marketing.  Bosch specialty is in solving manufacturing problems and helping build factory automation from end to end. They know the factory set up and have a proven system. Combo of experience and resources which they can prove out the ROI of automation.    Seg 4  Cost component, efficiency and precision in manufacturing. Many of these jobs are very repetitive and boring and people do not even want to do them. People are good at making decisions and designing processes.  Computers are good at repetitive tasks, do not get tired so it's good to automate these systems. Rexroth has software told tools to do the layout and floor plan of a factory. Determine the best use of the actual building. And example of this would be planning traffic within the system or conveyor lines and systems. They can run simulations of how the factory work up to one year and down to one hour.  Companies investing in this process have business case risk. Can the business sell enough products to make the factory plan work?  Automation needs to be very accurate so that the conveyors can either move fast or slow depending on needs. There are lots of safety precautions to keep people out of the way and make the assembly line fast.   Modern factories are a collaborative workspace, people in machines in the same space in a safe manner. There are laser sensors and cameras to help with safety. Rexroth is not in the vision business that is outsourced. There are other companies that make specialty LiDAR cameras.  There will always be people involved in automation systems at some level. Could be in the design part, overseeing the factory or programming. Overall automation is actually a net win for people. You invest a lot upfront, but have lower costs and more safety over the long term.  Example of dangerous work is forklift traffic. One mistake could actually be fatal. AMR or or autonomous mobile robots are intelligent machines that read traffic in a factory can map out a route. They can also reroute if necessary depending on what's going on.Hard to capture the safety cost and ROI of having automation.     Seg 1  Flashback AZ Tech Clip w/ Eric Miller of PADT  3D Printing & the AZ Tech Industry - BRT S02 EP25 (72) 6-20-2021  Eric discusses the 3D printing process  Things We Learned This Week 3D Printing tech affects many industries – healthcare, robotics, Aerospace, design Aerospace – 3D printing for rockets for moon & mars exploration                                                    AZ Tech was an Aerospace & Semiconductor hub for years, now growing into to many more tech industries, History dates back to WWII Moore's Law – cost of 3D machines are down, cheaper to use 3D, & growing PADT has many Patents, plus also does Angel Investing to grow AZ Tech community   Full Show: HERE   Tech Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Tech   More - BRT Best of Tech: Best of AZ Tech Council BRT of Tech 2022 BRT S02 EP52 (99) 12-26-2021 – Tech for the Holidays – BRT    Thanks for Listening Please Subscribe to the Podcast   Business Roundtable with Matt Battaglia The show where Entrepreneurs, High Level Executives, Business Owners, and Investors come to share insight and ideas about the future of business. BRT 2.0 looks at the new trends in business, and how classic industries are evolving.  Common Topics Discussed: Business, Entrepreneurship, Investing, Stocks, Cannabis, Tech, Blockchain / Crypto, Real Estate, Legal, Sales, Charity, and more…  BRT Podcast Home Page: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/ ‘Best Of' BRT Podcast: Click Here BRT Podcast on Google: Click Here BRT Podcast on Spotify: Click Here                    More Info: https://www.economicknight.com/podcast-brt-home/ KFNX Info: https://1100kfnx.com/weekend-featured-shows/   Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this program are those of the Hosts, Guests and Speakers, and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of any entities they represent (or affiliates, members, managers, employees or partners), or any Station, Podcast Platform, Website or Social Media that this show may air on.

“You've got to cast a long shadow,” Eric Miller tells Carol. “We look a lot bigger than we are to our clients. They are always a little surprised that we are less than 100 people because we pack a bigger punch than these 4,5,600-person companies that we compete with.” Eric is a co-owner and Principal at PADT, a provider of tools and services that help companies design and manufacture their products. The origins of PADT trace back to the 90s when Eric and some fellow engineers at a large turbine engine company decided to create a startup based on three new technologies they had at the time.In this episode, Eric describes his relationship with his clients–mechanical engineers–and how important it is to build informational content outside of transactions to establish trust with them. He also recounts the effects of COVID on his culture and the steps he's taken to ensure his culture stays intact in the remote world.They also discuss why he and his co-owners haven't sold the company despite many offers and what it would take for them to sell.
