SUMMARY:IDSA HTX Design Series: Design to Production
DESCRIPTION:“How do I ensure my product design will scale to production smoothly?” \nThe journey from concept to manufactured product is rife with pitfalls. To successfully bring innovative hardware products to market\, designers and entrepreneurs must consider all aspects of the production process. \nJoin us December 15th at the Ion Prototyping Lab for an illuminating talk that will help you optimize your product designs for manufacturing success. Our guest speaker\, Marshall Whitney\, will discuss tips and techniques from his experience founding\, operating\, and scaling his design and fabrication company\, Raum Industries. \nMarshall Whitney is the founder and president of Raum Industries\, a Houston-based design/build shop. After a decade of corporate project management experience\, Raum was started in 2016 as a simple furniture atelier focusing on custom builds for residential and commercial markets. One project led to another and he now employs over 30 people who specialize in product design\, manufacturing\, and steel fabrication in both architectural and industrial spaces. Value is created at Raum for its customers by using the concept of “design for manufacturing” – a process that both accelerates delivery times and lowers costs. On the rare occasion he finds free time\, Marshall enjoys designing and building furniture for his home in Houston. \nCome join us for Marshall’s engaging presentation and socialize over light refreshments and holiday treats!

SUMMARY:Cup of Joey
DESCRIPTION:What is the purpose of Cup of Joey? It is to create a connected culture of coffee shop-open networking across our region. Every Friday morning\, you’ll have the opportunity to meet new and expand your current networks\, talk about tech\, inspire innovation\, and create community. \nSo\, what is the difference between a cup of joe and a Cup of Joe-Y? It is the WHY. It’s not what you do. It is why you do it! \nAt the Ion\, these are questions that we want to explore with the tech and innovation community. So\, show up\, be friendly\, and make new connections. Know your why\, and we will get to the future together. \nThe future is only a cup away.
