Join us October 10th for an exciting talk on 3D printing technology at TechShop SF!

Today, Makers are using powerful digital tools to revolutionize the way we make tangible objects. Join us for a talk on the most high-profile Maker tool: the 3D printer and on the 3D printing technology that has led to numerous commercial and scientific applications.

BAIA and Novedge invite you to join us for an exciting talk on 3D technology and its real-life applications. We’ll hear from Tatjana Dzambazova of Autodesk on how 3D technology helps museums and archaeological sites around the world collaborate and share their discoveries, from Saul Griffith, Australian inventor and recipient of MacArthur Foundation Genius Grant about his work on technology innovation, and from Mark Hatch, Co-Founder of TechShop, a hub for Makers across the country.

We will also see a 3D printer in action, thanks to the team behind Type A Machines, and there will be a chance to take a tour of the TechShop.
