Join us for a workshop mapping out the future of 3D modeling and printing at Carnegie Mellon University on January 10-11, 2017.
CMU is at the center of a manufacturing revolution in machine learning, modeling, and more. Hear from speakers who are at the forefront of the movement to change manufacturing for both industry and consumers.
Making 3D printing technology more accessible to more people is a central goal of much of the computer science research happening in additive manufacturing at CMU today. This summit will explore cutting edge work happening at CMU in this domain.
Topics & Speakers
Our discussion will focus on issues such as
- Users: increasing the set of people who can make things (making design easier, moving from CAD to functional specification)
- Modeling & Software: core functions that modeling software should provide to non-experts; easier to make modular parts; etc
- Automation: applications of optimization and machine learning to automate aspects of design
- Materials: incorporating a wider variety of materials (soft, conductive, strong, biological, etc.)
- Lifecycle: tracking use throughout the lifecycle
Registration
