Designers' inspiration for 3D printing
Description
This time, we zoom in on the role of the designer. The special possibilities and specific limitations of 3D printing techniques, seen through the glasses of three experienced early adopters. They explain and show how they have realised innovative products using this technique.
Speaker(s)
Michiel Cornelissen combines work for clients such as Philips and Bose with developing his own products. His 'Happy Bird' was one of the best-selling 3d-printed products in the Netherlands in 2013. He will talk about the possibilities and opportunities 3d-printing offers for designers and their clients
Alexander Pelikan likes to explore new paths while designing only to be surprised by where that leads. He experiments with various materials and techniques and collaborates with craftspeople, designers and innovative companies. He will talk about "form and function" in 3D printing. In design circles, 3D printing has often become overkill and tends towards kitschiness.
During his studies, Jan Verschoor already formed the startup 3Delft with 2 fellow students, where the possibilities of additive manufacturing were explored. He started a new company now known as SUUZ in 2011. He is all about "on-demand" manufacturing. To do this effectively, new design methodologies and tools are needed. How do you design and create a "customisable" product? How much freedom and control do you give your customers?
