SUMMARY: Is 3-D Printing  Creating a New Entrepreneurial Ecosystem? 
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:http://www.socaltech.com/calendar/eventid/23419 Designer Technologies:  Is 3-D Printing Creating a New Entrepreneurial Ecosystem? Caltech Entrepreneurs Forum. Featured Speakers include Brian Arandez of Thingify, Inc., Tara Tiger Brown of LA Makerspace, Diego Porqueras of Deezmaker, and Edward Tacket of UC Irvine and Saddleback College.  Not too long ago, 3-D printing was limited to the creation of an expensive and very fragile white starch model. Now it is possible to print in everything from ABS plastics to metals to chocolate! Home printers are available and evolving rapidly as the printer designers print their own parts for the next generation designs (and in some cases, get royalties on the designs when someone orders a print). Come to the May 11 Entrepreneurs Forum to hear from UC Irvine's research consortium about what will be possible in the near future.
