G, I will see if I can make your event in Akron tonight. Unfortunately a friend of my wife's passed away and we be indisposed.
Thank you for keeping me in the loop, Best Regards, Ray From: Gaurav Saxena/Sherwin-Williams To: [email protected], Victor J. Levand/CLE/Sherwin-Williams@SWCBD, Edward R.

I am so glad that Sherwin-Williams is using the Objet30 Pro from Stratasys along with SolidWorks to improve the design of our rollers. These tools enable us to innovate and prototype quickly and decide what works and what does not. I promised to let everyone you recommended know about our event, so here goes: OUR EVENT TOMORROW Tomorrow night 3/20, at 8PM at SYN/HAK (21 W North St, Akron, Ohio) fellow member Doug Costlow is going to be speaking on 3D Printing, and showing the community what is involved in the process of additive manufacturing. He will be bringing his 3D Printer (which he bought from MakerGear: an Ohio based 3D Printer maker) for all to witness this incredible instrument first hand. This is a very important topic for our local economy as it has immense potential to create new jobs and businesses. To this end, I wanted to communicate it to you personally in the hope that you can share the knowledge of the talk with anyone you think would be interested. Attendees are encouraged to RSVP on meetup here: http://www.meetup.com/synhak/events/109368922/ Full description: Doug Costlow (Bridgestone) will be doing a presentation which will include a brief history, explanation of the process, types of materials and printers available, costs, applications, 3d modeling options, and an explanation of the work flow of running a printer. He will also have his printer to do a demo and some parts for display. There will be plenty of time for questions and mingling too. Rick Pollack (MakerGear) and a Representative from Filaco (producer/distributor of filaments) plan to attend. They will introduce and explain their respective companies and plan to stay and talk with attendees as well. If you are new to 3D printing, wikipedia defines it thus: 3D printing is a process of making a three-dimensional solid object of virtually any shape from a digital model using an additive process, where successive layers of material are laid down in different shapes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing My apologies to Mike for not connecting sooner. ABOUT OUR NON-PROFIT A hackerspace (also referred to as a hacklab, makerspace, or hackspace) is a community-operated physical space where people with common interests, often in computers, technology, science, or art can meet and collaborate. We are an infrastructure provider for people who want to make things. We opened our new location for the public in January. During that event, I collected some pictures (which includes pictures of Doug presenting his 3D Printer to Akron Mayor Don Plusquellic): https://plus.google.com/photos/100087981229816844153/albums/5830370778196107297 We plan on having a fundraiser for our non-profit soon, in the hope to buy an on-premise 3D Printer that our community in Akron can use to realize their own designs. Couldn't help but share our journey thus far with your group. We hope to keep improving opportunities Akron for similar activities in the future, and would really appreciate any and every help from people who believe in our mission. YOU'RE INVITED! I, personally, extend an invite to you (and your colleagues who I carbon copied in the interest of time) as well to come down and learn more about our 2000 square foot facility in the old Abtec building. Learn more about us on our website synhak.org and about earlier events held at SYN/HAK at my blog here: gsvolt.wordpress.com Once again, thank you so much for any help you can provide to share knowledge of our talk on 3D Printing tomorrow, and in general promote SYN/HAK in Akron, and Maker's Alliance in Cleveland.
