Prototype 101 on 9-9-09

If you have ever had an idea for a new product, chances are good that you have had to build a model or prototype to show how it works. Often, building a prototype will teach you how how things need to be rearranged in order to work. Sometimes it can drag you back to the drawing board but that's better than spending a lot of time and money on something that doesn't work.
This week on 9/9/09, our special guest will be our friend Mark Kemper of www.ems-usa.com who will show us a bit more into the latest process of making something out of nothing... or rapid prototyping! Mark uses a special printer that creates 3D products out of powder and glue (or something like that...) and can let you realize your product for much less than most other methods of fabrication. Please join us this Wednesday and see what Mark has been working on lately!
Also,
This is you last chance to throw your hat into the ring and be elected to our Board of Directors. All names must be in on the 9th so that we can make ballots for the election on September 23rd. If you want to really be a part of the Tampa Bay Inventors Council, why not take a position where you can make a difference. Step up and join the Board, some of the finest people I have had the pleasure of working with!
See you On Wednesday.
