Do you have a great idea for a product but don’t have the equipment, tools, or know how to make it yourself? A professionally created prototype is the key to attracting partners and customers. Join us to learn about 3 local prototyping centers in WI that can help you make an initial proof of concept or your final product. Come to learn, network with entrepreneurs, companies, and licensing professionals, and enjoy refreshments. We will also be celebrating World Intellectual Property Day. We hope to see new faces!
You can also tour the UWM Innovation Accelerator Prototyping Center.
Snacks and drinks will be provided.
Free parking outside of building.
Panelists:
Kyle Jansson- Director, Prototyping Center
The UWM Prototyping Center is home to several of the most advanced prototyping and machining centers available to be able to fabricate nearly anything. But to operate the equipment to produce successful prototypes, it takes our staff of experienced machinists, model makers, and engineers. Custom parts for varieties of industries are designed, developed, and fabricated for anyone from campus researchers to private sector goliaths to independent entrepreneurs. Development efficiency is achieved from combining the unique capabilities of each machining center to best carry out the fabrication of components. Iterations of highly-complex designs are streamlined due to the rare integration of engineering and CNC machining centers being just steps away to provide a cost-effective means of achieving success quickly.
