Shapeways: SXSW Panel with Wired Design

February 4, 2013

Thanks to your votes, we’re excited to announce that we’ll be speaking at SXSW this year!

Tune into the “Industrial Revolution 3.0 & Future of 3D Printing” panel as our CEO and Co-Founder, Peter Weijmarshausen, joins Mike Senese, Senior Editor at Wired Design, to discuss how 3D printing is revolutionizing the way we create.

Prior to Shapeways, Peter worked closely with designing and developing satellite broadband modems both as the CTO of Sangine and the Director of Engineering at Aramiska. Additionally, he served as ICT Manager for Not a Number and facilitated the adoption of the successful open source 3D software Blender.

Mike Senese, along with teaching science and heading design and manufacturing coverage at Wired, is a TV star. He has co-hosted a variety of shows on Discovery and Science Channel networks, including Catch It Keep It, Fuse TV’s Rock and Roll Acid Test, and How Stuff Works. He hopes to inspire creation with his DIY website.

With extensive backgrounds and experiences in the industry, these two are sure to provide an interesting perspective on the Industrial Revolution 3.0, touching on topics such as collaborative design, open source, the limitations of mass manufacturing, and the unique perks of digital fabrication. If you’re interested in the maker movement, this won’t be a conversation you’ll want to miss!
