Event Description
Evan Malone, PhD, president of NextFab Studio in Philadelphia, PA, will discuss how NextFab Studio provides access to the latest computer-aided design and advanced manufacturing technologies by innovative individuals and organizations. It offers training, support, and friendly expert consultants necessary to help turn ideas into products and products into businesses. This product development and entrepreneurship focus informs the range of tools and services that NextFab makes available to its community members. Traditional prototyping and product development can be very intimidating and expensive, so NextFab aspires to be a one-stop shop, where anyone––regardless of background––can make any physical thing, with any material, using next generation digital design to leverage their own creativity, automated fabrication tools to reduce cost, and a community of collaborators to overcome challenges that cannot be surmounted alone. NextFab was founded by Dr. Evan Malone to help counteract the extensive offshore outsourcing of US manufacturing and the decline of US manufacturing education and knowledge-base that took place during the 90’s and early 2000’s.
