Ami Sin - Reinventing Manufacturing: Hybrid Tooling & the Future of Product Development

Traditional manufacturing comes with high tooling costs and long lead times, making it challenging for startups and innovators to bring new products to market. In this talk, Ami Sin shares how hybrid tooling—combining 3D printing and traditional manufacturing—offers a more flexible, cost-effective solution for product development.

Ami will discuss real-world applications, lessons from her experience leading Amazing Lab, and how startups can leverage this approach to validate ideas without massive upfront investments. Attendees will gain insights into the evolving landscape of manufacturing and how to stay ahead in an increasingly competitive market.

Please join our lively, fun and friendly in-person event in the comfortable environment of FoundrSpace!

You can also watch the livestream starting at 8:30 AM, and ending after the Q&A at around 9:30 AM by connecting with Christy Conner on LinkedIn.
