SEMA Garage Seminar: Explore Alternatives to Hand-Fabricated Prototypes
Sat, 07/13/2019 - 09:03

By Della Domingo

3D Printing
Using the SEMA Garage’s new Fortus 450mc 3-D printer, members are able to print functional prototypes in up to nine different materials as large as 16x14x16 in.

New materials in the 3-D printing industry are making additive manufacturing relevant for more businesses. With materials such as Nylon 12CF and TPU 92A, prototypes and products that are flexible and durable with a high stiffness-to-weight ratio can be 3-D printed quickly, easily and affordably.

To learn about these new materials and current trends in 3-D printing, sign up for the free, half-day seminar presented by Stratasys at the SEMA Garage, Tuesday, July 30. During “Additive Manufacturing in Automotive,” participants will hear and see firsthand how 3-D printing saves time and money, and is easier than many may realize. Lunch is included, as well as tours of the SEMA Garage.

July 2019 #SheIsSEMA Member Spotlight: Kirstin Stone
Thu, 07/11/2019 - 16:25

By Kristopher Porter

PRO Reception
Kirstin Stone

July’s “She Is” Member Spotlight is dedicated to Young Executives Network (YEN) Chair Kirstin Stone from Radians.

Check out Stone’s Q&A with SEMA and the SEMA Businesswomen’s Network (SBN) below:

SEMA: What is the best advice you have ever received?

Kirstin Stone: Just jump in! If you want to get involved, quit trying to figure out how to best to do it and just do it.

SEMA: What keeps you involved in this industry?

KS: I've stayed in the industry because there’s a like-mindedness here that I appreciate. 

SEMA: On a Saturday, where can you be found? 

KS: Either drag racing or working on my ’99 LS-powered Mustang.

SEMA: How do you prepare for going to an important meeting?

KS: Show up a few minutes early, carrying a planner and some caffeine.

SEMA: If you could go to lunch with one industry leader, living or dead, who would it be? 

KS: John Menzler. He was the first industry leader that I met, and he actively encouraged my involvement with the councils and networks. It was such a short interaction at a morning networking event that wound up having a huge impact on my career. Knowing what I do now about the aftermarket, I wish I could pick his brain much further.
