Description

This program will not be recorded.

Have you ever wondered about the manufacturing process for modern appliances? Why do certain plastic things cost pennies and others hundreds of dollars? Have you ever been frustrated by a cheap gadget breaking? Want to catch up on the latest 3D printing use cases? In this course, we'll explore case studies explaining various manufacturing techniques that make our modern life possible and answer the above questions and more. No previous knowledge of manufacturing is required.

The National Resource Center for Osher Lifelong Learning Institutes (Osher NRC) is offering this presentation in collaboration with Northwestern University School of Professional Studies.
