Event Details

Will personal manufacturing be as disruptive to the manufacturing industry as the internet has been to media companies?

NESTA is please to invite you to its next Hot Topics event on Personal Manufacturing which will consider how 3D printing is changing the industry and the impact it is having on entrepreneurs.  With the costs of prototyping coming down, what does this mean for start-up companies who have a product to manufacture?  Will this lead to a wave of 'digital manufacturers'?

Speakers will be Adrian Bowyer, senior lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bath and inventor of the RepRap, Haydn A. Insley, Manager at Fab Lab Manchester and Alice Taylor, previously Commissioning Editor, Education at Channel 4 and now founder of startup Makieworld.  The event will be chaired by Stian Westlake, Executive Director of NESTA's Policy and Research Unit.

Breakfast and registration will open at 08:00 with presentations starting at 08:30 prompt.

 

This event is part of our Hot Topics event series.

Please contact us at hottopics@nesta.org.uk if you have a question you would like asked at the Q&A, or if you have suggestions for the resources page. You can also join the debate on Linked In and twitter (#nestahottopics)
