Join Autodesk "Maker Advocate" Jesse Harrington Au, and senior sustainable design program manager, Dawn Danby, as they discuss the manufacturing and sustainability implications and opportunities with the rise of personal fabrication. In today's world with easy-to-use software and 3D printing, everyone can be a maker. It also means that the need for mass production of wasteful items, such as disposal packaging, may be on decline. Join us for this lively discussion.
