Panasonic CES 2017 Living Campus Map

At CES 2017, Panasonic's booth was divided into 3 main areas. In the middle was a living map of their campus, front and center, on the main presentation area. A 3-dimensional map was rendered with additive and subtractive manufacturing and a video was coordinated and projected on it bringing the map to life.

Large and small elements of the three dimensional map, including several of the buildings, the stadium, and the windmills on the mountain were 3D printed. Czarnowski Exhibits brought me on to run their newly purchased 3D printers for this job to insure that they were running at peak performance and to complete the project on time.

During this project I also trained the CAD engineers on proper use of their 3D printers, including optimal settings and various advanced techniques, to best take advantage of the capabilities of their own 3D printers to reduce outsourcing and save them money.
