SUMMARY:Virtual Plant Tour: IC3D
DESCRIPTION:IC3D\, located in Columbus\, OH\, is revolutionizing the product design and manufacturing process by developing new processes using 3D printing to create tooling\, jigs\, and fixtures used to make high-level functional prototypes and low-volume mass production parts. With partners such as various OEM’s and Tier 1’s\, IC3D is maturing these technologies to design and manufacturer products with significant cost and lead-time reductions. \nIC3D’s founder and CEO\, Michael Cao\, is passionate about building great things. Whether it’s a 3D print for a client or 3D printing tooling of his company\, IC3D\, he is committed to creating next-generation solutions that can be fully utilized and enjoyed by the customer.\nMichael is a forward thinker\, and possesses a Mechanical Engineering degree. He developed IC3D to provide high-quality\, affordable 3D printers and materials to the public and secured crowd funding resources for startup operations. In a short timeframe\, he built and sold over a hundred 3D printers and built a commercial plastic extrusion operation with multiple production lines while concurrently holding a full-time R&D engineering and leadership role at Honda. \nFor more information\, visit IC3D at www.ic3dprinters.com \n  \nPresenters:\nMICHAEL CAO\, FOUNDER AND CEO \nLUKE DEBRUIN\, FILAMENT PRODUCTION ENGINEER \n  \nTo Register and Receive a meeting link\, Send your contact information to : SPECleComm@gmail.com \n  \nATTENDANCE IS FREE
