To celebrate Manufacturing Day in California, Gurbax Sahota, President
and executive director of CALED (California Association of Local
Economic Development) toured Dagoma USA's new 3D printer plant in
Goleta, California.

There, Sahota saw more than 100 3D printers printing parts for
Dagoma's new eco-friendly easy-to-use 3D printer called NEVA, which is
now on sale on Amazon and on the company's website.

Matthieu Regnier, CEO and co-founder Dagoma says : "We were pleased to
preview Dagoma's new 10,000 sq ft headquarters and plant in Goleta
(Santa Barbara county) California for Gurbax Sahota, whose group CALED
represents more than 800 manufacturing firms in California.  It was an
honor to show her our new eco-friendly national headquarters and to
present her with a 3D printed California Bear that we created in our
plant."

Dagoma is the only 3D printer firm that prints and assembles its 3D printers totally in the USA. A workforce of more than 25 makers and engineers work alongside the 3D printers to ensure the highest quality on these MADE IN USA 3D printers.

Speaking for CALED, Sahota explained that "As an economic development association and an issuer of industrial development bonds, we absolutely understand the value of California manufacturers. The fact that you are manufacturing something innovative and using recyclable material just makes it that much more impressive – and totally
Californian."

The vision of Dagoma USA is to empower families and small businesses across the country to become a nation of makers not just consumers so that they can experience the joy of creating their own kitchen gadgets, toys, household accessories and parts for hobbies like model
railroading and office decor like frames, hooks and desk decorations.

Matthieu Regnier, CEO at Dagoma, says "Creating eco-friendly products at home and in your office is the wave of the future here now --we hope to see a 3D printer like Neva in every home and office in the next decade."

Following the 3D printer plant tour, Sahota from CALED said to Dagoma "It's entrepreneurs like you that embody the creativity, drive, and social responsibility mindset that sets California apart as a great place to live and work."

Dagoma US just completed fulfillment for a successful Kickstarter campaign and is now available directly via PRIME shipping on Amazon at:  http://tinyurl.com/nevaonamazon and at http://www.dagoma3d.com with free US shipping. The #1 3D printer firm in France was just named top start-up in that country and one of the best companies to work for
in France.

ABOUT: Dagoma is the only firm that prints and assembles parts for its 3D printers totally in the USA. NEVA is eco-friendly and it prints with PLA  which is totally biodegradable. The NEVA comes fully assembled with its own software and a special one button to push to start system.  The firm also has plants in two locations in France and sells its NEVA 3d printers directly to consumers and small businesses on Amazon and on its website

Podcast with Michael DeAloia @techczarcle Talks Future of Cleveland Tech

By Joyce Schwarz, author, speaker, consultant blogging for

http://www.institute ofthefuture.com

What an amazing opportunity to interview @techczarcle Michael DeAloia for a podcast previewing the upcoming @cletechsummit #techniclespeaking on May 20 at Jones Day in downtown Cleveland.

DeAloia says the City of Cleveland is really starting to focus even more on a broader view of tech beyond just medical and biosciences  and that this event will bring together tech industrialists, the city and others - politicians, tech entrepreneurs and investors. 

In the podcast Michael covers such topics as #startups #futureoftech #mission for the event #vision for the future and more. He promises that "You'll get a primer on the state of capital in Northeast Ohio and how to secure capital and more valuable information about where the Cleveland tech scene is and how startups and even makers fit into our future." 

But Michael says, "the real juice will come from the breakout sessions and from exchanging cards in the corners of Jones Day, the sponsor for the event.

And lots more so listen to Michael DeAloia now live

TechniCleSpeaking @Techsummit set for May 20 in downtown Cleveland

TechniCLE Speaking: A Summit Launching Dialogue Among NEO Tech, Nearby Capital, and Local Government

By Joyce Schwarz, author, speaker, consultant, jcombusinessdevelopment.com

Just a quick update for @techsummit #techniclespeaking -- found the press release for Weds event which is attracting more than 150 VIP's and attendees to discuss future of Cleveland's tech scene.

Fascinating to see that Clevelanddotcom poll says 60 percent of Cleveland tech firms dont get enough support from City.

Just realized by reviewing the great Jones Day press release that TechniClespeaking @cletechsummit Michael DeAloia @techczar name isn't on the release-- that I can see (was it really left off?). So I'm going to rectify that by sharing a live podcast I just did with Michael today -- stay tuned...be posting that this afternoon. 

Meanwhile you can follow my tweets about the event and the Cleveland Tech and Startup scene @clestartup and of course, my professional twitter account @joycecom 

Hope to live blog the event on Weds....

Here's that Jones Day press release to see the list of all of the invited speakers, great to hear from DeAloia @techczarcle that there will be lots of interactivity and time in between the speakers to network at breakout sessions.

TechniCLE Speaking is a half-day series of short talks and panel discussions with light moderation and frequent audience interaction on issues directly related to Cleveland’s emerging technology sector, including local capital raising; forging connections between government and established and emerging industries; and workforce development, both foreign and domestic. 

We want to have a candid conversation that elicits feedback from the tech community, educates public officials, and starts a thousand relationships between industry, civic leaders, and local government. TechniCLE Speaking is intended to break down barriers and inform public policy. 

This is not intended to be a series of monologues. We’re not interested in gathering folks together to be talked at. Freewheeling audience participation will be encouraged. And we want you to be part of the dialogue. It’s past time to come together. We hope to see you on the afternoon of May 20.
