[Angela Daly]

We are very pleased to announce the forthcoming Swinburne Institute for
Social Research <http://www.sisr.net> seminar on 3D printing which will
take place on Tuesday 24 June 2014 from 11am to 1pm in EN210 (Hawthorn
campus).



The seminar is entitled 'Maker politics, culture and law' and comprises
three presentations looking at different aspects of 3D printing in society.



For the first presentation, we are pleased to welcome back Dr Matthew
Rimmer of ANU College of Law and ARC Future Fellow
<https://law.anu.edu.au/staff/matthew-rimmer>, who will look at the Maker
Movement and their engagement with political processes in the US.



Secondly, Angela Daly (SISR research fellow)
<http://www.swinburne.edu.au/health-arts-design/staff-profiles/view.php?who=acdaly&unit=isr>
and Darcy Allen (RMIT PhD candidate and SISR research assistant)
<http://darcyallen.net/> will present the initial research output of the
Swinburne 'Legal and Social Implications of 3D Printing' project, which
examines the extent to which sharing practices are prevalent in the
Thingiverse <http://www.thingiverse.com/> user-generated online content
platform for 3D printed design files.



Thirdly, Dr Amanda Scardamaglia (Swinburne FBE lecturer and SISR affiliated
researcher)
<http://www.swinburne.edu.au/business-enterprise/staff-profiles/view.php?who=ascardamaglia>
will explore some legal issues arising from 3D printing, specifically those
affecting trade marks, passing off and consumer protection law, from the
perspective of both intellectual property owners and the 3D printing
community.


The event is open to all, but we request you register with
isrevents at swin.edu.au if you wish to attend for logistical purposes.
