Celebrate the last day of classes and join informal cross-disciplinary conversations with Drexel faculty and professional staff over drinks and refreshments at this quarter's ScholarSip event.

Genevieve Dion will offer a brief presentation, "3D Fabrication of Textile Devices: From Rapid Prototyping to Mass Production," on her research in wearable technology and cutting edge-textiles. Dion is an assistant professor in Westphal College of Media Arts & Design and is the Director of the Shima Seiki Haute Technology Institute. She was recently named one of Fast Company's Most Creative People list for 2014.

The Shima Seiki Haute Technology Laboratory is dedicated to advancing the fields of wearable technology and cutting-edge textiles, by laying the foundation for modular and flexible production intended for a variety of high performance applications. 3D knit fabrication holds remarkable potential for innovative and customizable design solutions, offering a future of many opportunities including sustainable methods of production and rapid prototyping.

ScholarSip is hosted by Drexel University Libraries with guidance from a planning committee of Kenneth Lacovara and Devon Powers. For more information about ScholarSip or to suggest a future topic, please contact: Jenny James Lee (215-571-4095, jaj92@drexel.edu).
