Welcome to the first Future of Hardware Meetup! Our topic this time is Tools: desktop machines, generative design software, IoT, or even reverse engineering services. We’re always looking for guest speakers to share their work and bring everyone up to speed on tools to help propel their business. (Reach out if you'd like to be a guest speaker!)

We’ll also looking at the broader Roadmap of Fusion 360; showcase Tips and Tricks; as well as Shape Optimization, one of the latest features in Fusion 360, and a very handy tool for optimizing your designs.

Here’s the lineup:

Curt Chan, Fusion 360 Evangelist | Autodesk

Brad Tallis, Fusion 360 Technical Specialist | Autodesk

We make software for people who make things. Fusion 360 is the first 3D CAD, CAM, and CAE tool of its kind. It connects your entire product development process in a single cloud-based platform that works on both Mac and PC.

Randy Kopf | Desktop Artisan

Derrick McBreairty | FARO Technolgies

3D Scanning has been around for decades, but it’s just starting to see widespread adoption. From video games to historical preservation, the applications are endless. For this presentation, we’ll focus on and reverse engineering applications.

Eduardo Torrealba | FormLabs
