Join us for this SAE Detroit Section exclusive tour, which normally is only open to GM employees, analysts, and the media. The GM Heritage Center is a showplace for the vehicles of the GM Heritage Collection, and the permanent home for the corporation’s collection of historic literature and artifacts. You will find this is a cross between the ultimate automotive enthusiast's garage and a living repository of automotive history.
The GM North American Heritage Collection is made up of approximately 600 cars and trucks. Many reflect GM’s industry firsts, like the first production V8 that powered the 1915 Cadillac. You will see over a 100 displays on this tour. The center is always changing with vehicle exhibits constantly freshened to represent GM’s product story of the past 100+ years.
By highlighting the exciting designs, groundbreaking technology, and powerful brands that have comprised GM’s first century, the GM Heritage Center will help inspire new generations of enthusiasts and make the company even stronger in years to come as GM moves toward its second century of operations.

HP 3D Printer Demo Center Tour
8:00 - 10:00 a.m.
NovaStar 12901 Newburgh, Livonia
Additive manufacturing is bringing about a revolution in the way products are designed, prototyped, and manufactured – including the creation of manufacturing tools such as jigs, fixtures, and molds.
Since NovaStar began selling and servicing HP Jet Fusion 3D Printers in 2017, the technology has been adopted by Michigan Automotive OEMs, Tier One suppliers, medical device manufacturers, robotics manufacturers, material handling companies, and a host of contract digital manufacturers.
Come meet HP’s newest 3D Printer – the 580-that prints in black, white, and color. It is ideal for prototyping with an all-in-one compact form, at one third the cost of HP’s original 4200 jet fusion printer. HP's 3D printed parts have extreme dimensional quality, are printed at surprising speeds and capacities, and at a lower cost per part compared to other 3D technologies.
Join us for a guided tour and a breakfast buffet while you:

Student Engineer Day gives collegiate students the opportunity to spend a day on the job shadowing the routines of a practicing engineer in the student’s field of choice. This is a unique opportunity for students to gain insight into the engineering field and for companies to discover future engineering talent. Although the day is broad in scope, it still allows for individualization as students are matched with engineers who have similar interest. Participating students and engineers are encouraged to attend the Ford Ranger Vehicle Event at Burton Manor in Livonia that evening from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m. Tickets are complimentary for Student Engineer Day participants and must be reserved by Monday, February 18.
Student Engineer Day may include a variety of activities, including tours, technical projects, hands-on experience and a chance to meet other colleagues. The format is flexible to meet the engineer’s schedule and is personalized to add a greater depth of experience for both the student and engineer.
This is open to SAE student members only. Students are responsible for their own transportation and for making the initial contact with their assigned engineer. Companies generally assume the cost of the student’s lunch. Participants will be notified by email prior to the event with respect to company/student placement.
