Jason Jones

Director

Professionally, Dr. Jason Jones is an award-winning inventor and entrepreneur. He is the pioneer and world’s leading authority in combining 3D printing with complementary manufacturing and inspection technologies, known as “hybrid manufacturing.” As the co-founder and CEO of Hybrid Manufacturing Technologies, Dr. Jones leads the transforming of machines & robots into flexible smart factories. Jason earned a PhD from the University of Warwick in advanced 3D imaging and 3D printing and has led tens of millions of dollars of technology research and commercialization. He is the author of numerous publications and inventor of dozens of granted patents. He has steered the development of multiple ASTM & ISO standards and remains committed to helping digitally driven manufacturing grow to within reach of the entire world.

Paradoxically, Dr. Jones’s personal interests provide a counterbalance to his future focused professional work by reaching back into history to understand ancient temples – especially those of the Middle East and Mesoamerica. Studying these special places that connect earth and heaven is motivated by a desire to draw closer to the God that unites the world.

Jason Jones on the Book of Mormon

The Book of Mormon provides the clearest evidence connecting the Middle Eastern and Mesoamerican peoples and their respective temple practices. It also illuminates the path to elevate us above our problems in life and beyond death. Together with the teachings of the Bible it fosters a stronger connection with God and a sense of peace that permeates me and my relationship with my family and loved ones. As our example in all things, I am in awe of Jesus Christ and His mission and accomplishments as our Savior and Redeemer of the world.
