The treat of the day is an interactive discussion with Jim Kor (http://www.greenbiz.com/users/jim-kor), an automotive industry visionary, mechanical engineer and concept car designer from Winnipeg, Canada, the driving force behind Urbee (http://korecologic.com), a 3D printed, highly economic car, poised to cross America from New York to LA with a total fuel consumption of 10 gallons.
We'll try to learn from Jim about the processes transforming visionary's concepts in the touchable and ready-to-be-driven car, how the on-board technology balance is reached, keeping the system complexity and costs in the commercial and technological desired ranges.
Jim wants to have a first contact via Skype with our local tech ecosystem to precede the April 25th Hella Driving Innovation (http://www.hella.com/hella-ro/1020.html?rdeLocale=ro)event when he'll be part of the program as a key speaker. During the event, the automotive industry passionate people will also have a great chance to find the most interesting news about Hella Romania R&D programs and another great chance to drive the cutting edge BMW cars from the Banat Car (http://www.bmw-timisoara.ro)fleet.
To stay in the field of additive manufacturing the second presentation will feature Calin Brandabur (https://www.google.ro/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCAQFjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fcalinbrandabur&ei=hJYiVbnBIInfPeO1gdgP&usg=AFQjCNEAxrbsD5kWf5ecGli8aQuO7tUOjg&sig2=HMeZoIUS9zsnTwRJ5V5VyQ&bvm=bv.89947451,d.ZWU), a local tech maverick, that designs and produces Symme3D (https://www.facebook.com/symme3d), a high-performance delta 3D printer/laser/router processing machine that may become the starting point of new approaches in the local automotive/manufacturing industry.
