Join us for an evening at Loupe's Portland workshop, where industrial robots and mathematical sculpture share the same floor. Host David Nichols, Loupe CEO and the artist behind @polyhedrist, will show how the tools of automation (CNC, waterjet, robot arms) also build monumental steel polyhedra, including a 9-foot, 3,000-pound pentagonal icositetrahedron.

Tour the shop, see live demos, and talk with the team. Makers, engineers, students, and the curious are all welcome.

Good to know

Arrive anytime between 5:30 and 8:00. David will give a brief tour and Q&A at 6:30 PM.

Kids are welcome. Please keep them with you and within arm's reach on the shop floor.

⚠️ Loupe is an active robotics lab and workshop, full of heavy machinery, sharp edges, and potentially dangerous tools and materials. Please ask before touching anything, including the sculptures.

Closed-toe shoes are required on the shop floor.

Drinks and snacks provided.
