Tutorial 1B: Tools of Creation: You Don’t Have to Know CAD to Be a Designer
This highly informative session offers an insider look at a compendium of tools from a non-engineering background that will get your 3D design skills up to speed in no time. Topics covered include:
Animation and VFX tools – What they are, how to use them and integration to the 3D printing world
Freeware tools – Blender, Sketchup, Autodesk 123D, etc. what are they good for, how far can you take them, pitfalls, etc.
Outsourcing – do you even have to use a program? From conception to reality without touching a design program – how outsourcing makes it possible. Elance, odesk, etc.
Someone already did it, why not buy it – 3d models marketplace, integration with outsourcing, etc.
Cleaning up your model, the hard part – automated software for checking and repairing your model, integration into the overall design and production workflow, etc.
Can you 3D print rain? – a deeper look into the possibilities offered by the merging of the VFX world and 3D printing.
The limits of current technology – it’s not production ready for the most part, more for visualization and design purposes, ways to get it production ready, what’s out there, what does the future hold.

Tutorial 4A: Design Tools in the Age of 3D Printing
At the core of every 3D printing process is an electronic blueprint – the design file that tells the printer what to print. Without design files, 3D printers are like iPods with no music. Design files are either created from scratch using computer aided design (CAD) software, or are generated by optically scanning an existing physical object. This session will describe some of the techniques for generating design files. Leading industry experts will describe the state of the art and their vision for the future of design in the age of 3D printing.

The Bronze Age, 2.0 – Rationalizing the 3D Universe: Policy, Context and Strategy
The ability to shape metal has defined human progress, and the latest IPO of a 3D company brought digitized metal into the public eye. So what will the Bronze Age 2.0 look like? A former executive of global equity firms, Christopher O’Dea will explore how investors and policymakers bring structure to markets: now that Team USA has placed its chips on 3D printing, what role will policymakers take? How will progress in other sciences affect 3D? Will 3D replace or enhance current techniques? Does the digital transformation of other industries hold lessons for the 3D universe?

The Printed Athlete: How 3D Printing is Changing the Nature of Sports
Over the past two decades 3D printing has radically shifted the way that many industries design new products. One of the sectors that is on the leading edge of this revolution is sports. All the major sporting goods brands have started to adopt the technology. From 3D printed parts for F1 race cars to multi-colored 3D printed footwear prototypes at Nike; the opportunities offered by the new manufacturing process has the chance to transform how athletes and customers interact with the games they love. This talk focuses on how 3D printing technology already has and will continue to revolutionize sports using examples from Mike's time at Burton Snowboards, MIT, and Loughborough University's Sports Technology Institute.
