WSU Ventures is hosting the second seminar in its Business Issues & Challenges Series, which will focus on additive manufacturing and reverse engineering.
The seminar is 3:30-5 p.m. Wednesday, July 11, in the WSU Experiential Engineering Lobby.
Brian Brown, director of Robotics and Automation for Wichita State University’s National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR), and Chris Rempe, manager of the Additive Manufacturing & Reverse Engineering Labs, will highlight available equipment and technologies for additive manufacturing and reverse engineering. They will provide examples of projects completed and provide recommendations for which methodology to use depending on the desired result.
The seminar will end with a tour of the Additive Manufacturing & Reverse Engineering Labs, part of the 3DEXPERIENCE Center, a partnership between NIAR and Dassault Systèmes.
