Raising the Bar: A House, Your Shoes, Your Dinner!

Raising the Bar is back for a third round. The University of Auckland is proud to once again host this unique event in which our academics give free public lectures in pubs and bars.

Join Olaf Diegel for A House, Your Shoes, Your Dinner! 3D Printing the Future.

Imagine enjoying a delectable dinner that your 3D printer has whipped up, while you sit in the lounge of your 3D printed home.

Or, imagine customising your dream shoes online and having them manufactured by a 3D printer at a store near you, cutting out the need for international shipping.

Such convenience is just around the corner but how will our lives change with these technologies?

Olaf says if we don’t adapt now, New Zealand won’t be ready for the technology of tomorrow. If we don’t learn to lead the way in this industry, we will lose a competitive advantage over the rest of the world.

This talk will delve into why 3D printing is a remarkable tool for innovators, the current and future uses of 3D printing and will also feature a few of Olaf’s own 3D printed creations. If you haven’t seen a 3D printed guitar before, you’re in for a treat.
