Personal Manufacturing: The new look entrepreneur?
Will personal manufacturing be as disruptive to the manufacturing industry as the internet has been to media companies?
NESTA is pleased to invite you to its next Hot Topics event on Personal Manufacturing which will consider how 3D printing is changing the industry and the impact it is having on entrepreneurs. With the costs of prototyping coming down, what does this mean for start-up companies who have a product to manufacture? Will this lead to a wave of ‘digital manufacturers’?
Date: 19.01.2011 08:30 - 09:30
Location: NESTA, 1 Plough Place, London, EC4A 1DE
Speakers will be Adrian Bowyer, senior lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bath and inventor of the RepRap, Haydn A. Insley, Manager at Fab Lab Manchester and Alice Taylor, previously Commissioning Editor, Education at Channel 4 and now founder of startup Makieworld. The event will be chaired by Stian Westlake, Executive Director of NESTA’s Policy and Research Unit.
