New Industrial Revolution: 3D-Printing Transformers, Nabes-Based Nanofactories & American Re-Shoring

Will New York City Spearhead America’s Manufacturing Make-Over Via Home-Grown, Disruptive 3DP Tech?

Additive Manufacturing—much better known by its common title of “3D Printing” (3DP: our usage)—has been lauded as THE engine of the Third or even Fourth Industrial Revolution. Regardless of the classification hype, 3DP has been a “revolution” in the making for the last 30 years. Now—driven by the 3DP version of Moore’s Law—Additive Manufacturing finally threatens to become a truly disruptive technology. (This would be—accurately—the Fourth Digital Disruptor in the last 40 years: PC->Internet->Social Media->3DP.) Revolution or Disruptor or Great Opportunity, the expert—and diverse—participants on our “New Industrial Revolution…” roundtable will engage, tame and harness the 3DP Change Agent to help empower the New Industrial Revolution aborning in New York City.

Our roundtable conferees will investigate the questions (and more) posed in our Roundtable subtitle. Will 3DP help propel an American manufacturing “make-over?” Will our City-fostered 3DP players help drive this change? And/or, will New York City (and State) grasp a commercially commanding position as a 3DP Cluster—or industrial-segment Ecosystem—for the betterment of our commonweal interests?

This event presents a “suite” of activities, including:

  • 3DP Demonstration (3pm to 4:30pm, 6pm to 8pm)– A quick demonstration of 3D CAD design and 3D printing.  Some previously printed items will be exhibited – Open to roundtable attendees from 3pm to 4:30pm.  Open to reception attendees from 6pm to 8pm.
