Geomagic CEO Ping Fu Headlines Panel at "Designing the Future 2012"
Geomagic® announced that its CEO Ping Fu is headlining a panel on innovation and 3D design at the “Designing the Future 2012” event tonight, Friday July 27 in the Bay Area, sponsored by Women@TheFrontier and Singularity University.
The conference features prestigious speakers -- from TV network founder Kay Koplovitz to inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil to paralympians and artists. Geomagic’s Ping Fu will discuss the blending of physical and digital objects, and how they are changing the way we create and manufacture -- today and into the future. She is especially interested in exploring the idea of the ‘personal factory’ where customized objects can be created as easily as mass produced objects using new scanning and additive fabrication methods.
Ping Fu is an Inc Magazine Entrepreneur of the Year, Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year for the Carolinas, and serves on the White House’s National Advisory Council on Innovation and Entrepreneurship board. Coming straight to the US from China, where she had been imprisoned during the cultural revolution, she became a computer scientist working on the first Internet browser, and went on to co-found Geomagic in 1997. Geomagic’s software is used to process scan data into digital files for design, engineering, analysis and inspection. She is currently authoring a business publication (Penguin Books) which will debut early in 2013.
