Sean Patterson

Design tool constrained thinking. Digitization’s impact on creative engineering.

 / 
Conversation Date: 09/01/2021

Sean will talk with us about how electronic circuit designers are constrained by the design tools they use and today’s manufacturing techniques. For example, mechanical engineers have always designed in a 3D space, so the evolution of 3D printing for mechanical designs didn’t require a revolution of design, rather an evolution. His work with transformational technology will change how chips are designed.
