SUMMARY:Breakfast Meeting: Impact of 3D-printing and Automation
DESCRIPTION:Are Robots and 3D Printing Really Going to Take Over the World?\n\nWe have all heard of the huge warehouses of delivery services like Amazon\, and the robots performing car assembly jobs that were once held by humans.  But how far could this really go?  The knock-on effects for the global workforce could be huge and we have already seen manufacturing jobs change as automation and 3D-printing replaces humans in many areas.  Are staffing companies and governments really braced for the impact?\n\nSuman Das is an expert on the role of 3D-printing and automation on commerce. As a researcher and  Chair Professor of Advanced Manufacturing Systems\, he has conducted research in these fields for over 28 years. He is currently on a leave of absence from Georgia Tech to serve as the CEO of Atlanta-based DDM Systems\, a high-end technology company founded by him in 2012 to commercialize advanced 3D printing technologies for aerospace\, power generation\, automotive\, and medical sectors.\n\nThis is a must-attend for HR and operations managers.\n\n\n	From the archive:
