Learn about emerging technologies and future possibilities for aerospace from Space Systems/Loral (SSL) at the SV Forum event on September 30

9/29/2014

Event Host:

Presenter: Hey Reynolds

Join us for an opportunity to learn from Hale Reynolds of Space Systems/Loral (SSL) about the emerging technologies and future possibilities in additive manufacturing for aerospace.

Presenter: Hale Reynolds, Engineer, Space Systems/Loral (SSL: http://sslmda.com/)
Date: Tuesday, September 30, 2014
Time: 6:30pm - 9:00pm
Location: growshapes LLC
Cost: $20; Free to SVForum members and all educators/teachers (contact Cheryl Downing, cheryldowning@ growshapes.com for the special education discount code)

Overview:

Paradigm shifts spark revolutions. We have examples of this with machines, semiconductors, and digital technology in the Industrial, Semiconductor, and Technology Revolutions. With the advent of the 3D printer and additive manufacturing in the 1980s, manufacturing paradigms again began to shift. Now, only a few decades after the introduction of the basic concepts of additive manufacturing, the rate of technology and capability development only seem to be accelerating. We are witnessing the beginnings of a new manufacturing revolution. Soon, engineers won't ask themselves what is possible; they'll ask themselves what is imaginable.

This talk will explore how the current manufacturing paradigms are shifting as a result of additive manufacturing, and assess exciting aspects of the current state of additive manufacturing, especially tied to the aerospace industry. I will then examine some of the key enablers currently being worked, which will allow for the continued accelerating growth of additive manufacturing. I will then review some exciting emerging technologies, and explore where this latest manufacturing revolution may take us in the years to come.

About Our Speaker:

Hale Reynolds
Engineer, Space Systems/Loral (SSL; http://sslmda.com)

Hale Reynolds has worked in aerospace in Silicon Valley since 2010, primarily in roles focusing on internal research and development in areas ranging from robotics and autonomous systems, to antenna subsystems, material and process development, and additive manufacturing. A Silicon Valley native, Hale graduated from UC Berkeley as a double-major in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering before entering industry. Hale is a champion of innovation and innovators, encouraging out-of-the-box thinking and problem solving in the typically heritage-driven aerospace industry.

About SVForum
SVForum, a non-profit association, fosters innovation, entrepreneurship and leadership within the Silicon Valley ecosystem of individuals and businesses participating in emerging technologies. (http://www.svforum.org)

About the SIG
The 3D Printing and Scanning Special Interest Group (SIG) provides a forum for technologists and companies, as well as members of the investor community and other interested parties, to discuss the critical aspects of the technology that require improvement, future direction of the technology and to network with one another. The majority of innovation and investment in 3D printing-related technologies to date has not been centered in Silicon Valley, and this SIG aims to contribute to changing this for what is considered by many as the next trillion dollar market.

GrowShapes/Silicon Valley 3D Printing Accelerator hosts Open House for IDSA-SV

7/24/2014

0 Comments

growshapes and the soon-to-launch Silicon Valley 3D Printing Accelerator will be hosting an Open House this evening from 6:30 to 8:30pm at their Santa Clara office for the Silicon Valley chapter of the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA-SV).

As part of the Open House, growshapes CEO, Geoffrey Doyle will give a brief presentation on biomimicry and industrial design. His talk will focus on how the development of new structures (or combining existing structures in new ways) enables the development of new 3D printing materials. Geoffrey will also illustrate how new structures and 3D printing technologies will dramatically impact the way prototypes and products are manufactured.

There will also be product demonstrations:

growshapes : DAVID 3D scanner, netfabb 3D software (which facilitates Selective Space Structures), Augmented Reality for building design, Mcor IRIS color 3D paper printing, Afinia desktop 3D printing
Octave: desktop 3D printing (various models, including Makerbot)
UpTech3D: prototype design for 3D printing

The growshapes team also runs the SVForum 3D Printing group, as well as 3D Printing for Education Meetup, to educate the Silicon Valley on emerging corporate 3D printing and scanning technologies.

Registration information can be found here.
