Ti Chang, Crave Innovations
It’s hard to believe that DEVELOP3D LIVE Boston is only in its third year. As soon as one event is over, the next is being planned. As sister show to DEVELOP3D LIVE in the UK, our US event provides a mid-year opportunity for updates from the industry on the very latest developments.
Boston is the heart of the US product development community. It’s home to SolidWorks, PTC, Onshape, SpaceClaim, Markforged, Formlabs, Desktop Metal Rize 3D and Autodesk’s AEC division, to name but a few.
On any visit to Boston, the positivity is truly infectious, thanks to the city’s focus on innovation and development and its thriving start-up culture. DEVELOP3D LIVE Boston packages that up and brings it to the stage, as we invite the best industry and customer speakers for one day of presentations and networking.
This year, our main stage will host a mix of talented designers, such as Ti Chang from San Francisco-based sex toys company Crave, our June 2018 cover star. She’ll talk about the company’s innovative approach to product design and engineering.
We’ll also hear about new innovations in supply chains and 3D print processes from Mike Geyer of Fictiv and representatives of some of the key software vendors in this field, Autodesk, SolidWorks, PTC and Onshape, who will talk us through what they’re developing next.
DEVELOP3D LIVE is intended as a place to come for a day to get inspired and to gauge the design technology landscape, to meet like-minded designers, talk to the tools providers and see new processes and capabilities. The only other global event that invites all the key competitors on stage for back to back comparison is, of course, our very own DEVELOP3D LIVE UK.
The Additive track is a veritable ‘who’s who’ in the world of 3D print, combined with analytical tools and metals technologies. We also showcase customers who are pushing the boundaries of print to manufacture, to create everything from medical devices to key components of Winter Olympic equipment. Where else are you likely to meet Jon Owen, former Olympian and now technical projects director of Team USA Luge?
Please join us on October 2 for DEVELOP3D LIVE Boston, at George Sherman Union, Boston University, for a day you will never forget.
Tickets for DEVELOP3D LIVE Boston are available for $50. The price includes full access to the conference and exhibition, as well as tea, coffee and food throughout the day and drinks at the networking event.
We do our best to capture the talks that we host at DEVELOP3D LIVE and, with the kind permission of speakers, publish these talks online. The past seven years of talks across our UK and US events can be watched on the DEVELOP3D LIVE website
We highly recommend watching last year’s keynote, Mouse McCoy from HackRod (pictured below), who’s 3D printing an optimised car chassis in metal. We think he will revolutionise car design and manufacture.
