Topic: Helen Anderson from Milkies will discuss her product design process from concept to production. Her products are designed to help nursing mothers.

How to create a 3D CAD project using Autodesk Inventor and how the product development cycle works will be presented. Users must bring their own computer and software to work on. Individuals may choose to work on their own project or a pre-existing Open-Source project. 

The design development cycle can be as in-depth as the group wants it to be. 3D printers are available for prototyping and advice on manufacturing can be presented as well.
