March Meetup: Rapid Prototyping Tools & Techniques
- March 21 · 6:30 PM
Rapid Prototyping Tools & Techniques
If you're working on any physical product, you know the importance of quickly iterating on physical designs. However, there are now so many different rapid prototyping technologies and tools (3d printing, CNC machining, molding, etc), it can be challenging to determine the best path for your project.
Join us next Thursday (3/21) to learn how to rapid prototype like the pros from Bailey Jones & Charles Barton Bollfrass -
Bailey Jones of Bright Product Development has been using rapid prototyping as a design tool since the days of SLA supremacy in the 90s. He has over 15 yrs of product design experience in the US and Scandinavia, and teaches 3D CAD and Design at ACC.
Charles Barton Bolfrass is CEO of Solid Prototype - a great Austin fabrication resource and an expert in additive fabrication technology.
Charles & Bailey will review a variety of rapid prototyping technologies and tools and have example parts on hand. We'll also cover service bureaus and other resources that can help make your idea take shape.
We're also excited to have Xilinx sponsoring this meetup! If you're interested in Xilinx FPGAs or their new Zynq SOCs (also very useful for rapid prototyping!) we will have a few Xilinx engineers joining us who would be happy to talk with you.
Agenda
6:30 Arrive, grab grub & drinks (thanks to new sponsor Xilinx!)
6:45 Rapid Prototyping Presentation & Samples
7:30 Pitches, demos, updates from ATXHW members
** Jack Minardi will talk about winning the YC Hardware Hackathon

I'm interested in the opportunity, and can also probably bring in a friend as well. Got more details?

Grub and drinks - is that a free meal from Xilinx? Regardless, I'm pretty excited :)
