Meet the Machines and the Makers

We’re celebrating the creation of the Sheffield RepRap Makers’ first machine with a special visit from Adrian Bowyer, the inventor of the paradigm-shifting RepRap, in an extended two-part season finale of the Self-Replicating Machine Odyssey.*

• 2pm – 4pm: Meet the Machines
  Hands-on session with some of the RepRaps spawning in the Sheffield Makers community. A chance to see first-hand how the machines work and what you can do with them.
• 6pm- 7.30pm: Meet the Maker
  Join Adrian Bowyer for a special guest talk on the development of the self-replicating rapid prototyper, its history and future possibilities “Manufacturing for the Masses”

Adrian and local RepRap Makers will be around for both sessions. The GIST Lab will be open from 2pm through to 9pm, with a chance for informal Q&A and project demos outside of the above scheduled sessions.

You should come if you’re interested in sustainability, engineering, products, design, open source, hardware hacking, robotics, or the invisible gap between physical and digital that makes up the thingiverse.
