Society of Women Engineers (SWE) - Monthly Meeting - Advances in 3D Printing

3D Printing has been making headlines in recent years. The DIY community has moved it from the realm of expensive Aerospace Prototypes to under $500 hobbyist machines.

The talk will give a brief overview of the various 'additive manufacturing' technologies and demonstrate the low cost of 3D Printers.

Jerry Isdale has been a Software Engineer for 35 years working on the bleeding edge -in Office Automation, Computer Animation, Multimedia, 3D Printing, Virtual Reality, DARPA C4I systems, and UAVs. He got involved with the Maker Movement several years back and left his programming job to learn to machine tools. He founded Maui Makers in 2010 as a community workshop, sharing the technology to make stuff. He currently serves as Program Manager (and grant holder) for SpaceGAMBIT.org - the DARPA funded Hackerspace Space Program.
