Seminars and growth

    I was invited to a nationwide seminar on Tuesday on you guessed it, 3-d printing. It takes place tomorrow, it was kind of short notice but I hope these take place more regularly. As the industry moves forward we must also try to move forward as well. We can't expect the 3d printers to do all the heavy lifting. So my goal is in four months to write a grant involving 3d printing and hopefully some ground breaking uses.  I will be building off of ideas that I have blogged about here and building new ones. So if there are any posts that you would like to see more formally fleshed out I would be happy to take them into consideration.

  I am inspired to write a grant (deadline my birthday) by stories like these The first-3d printed skull helped  a with a woman with a rare condition that caused her skull to get heavier every year (as time went on) It was then replaced and installed with a 3d printed version. It has yet to be determined how long the skull would last decades or a few years. It truly shows high quality and high reward design cases that are rare but when the foundation is there but the condition is yet to be explored.
