109th NY Hardware Meetup @ Ultimaker

​We’re back for the 109th NY Hardware Meetup, hosted this month at Ultimaker’s NYC office in the Financial District.

​This is a chance to connect with other people building physical products in New York — from early-stage prototypes to shipped hardware. No fluff. Just speakers, demos, conversations, and good people.

​We’ll have free pizza and beer, live Ultimaker 3D printing in action, and updates on upcoming speakers and projects as we get closer.

​RSVPs are limited. This event tends to fill up fast.

​HOST AND SPONSOR
