INNOVATED IN 4D

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF 3D PRINTING+ — JOURNAL BIOMEDICAL, MATERIAL SCIENCE

BOOMING>>>

FDM, SLA, POLYJETS

NANOSCALES TO LARGE Scale as Building – Precision in Industrial Printing, Food Printing (Printing Meat) in the Kitchen,

Performance Structures: GE replacing milling,

Mass Customized Products without tooling down time

Challenges

Bedsize, space consideration, Speed, to print got out of Press, print smaall

Software – build what you do not know HOW to build, design side – Hardware material

Materials: New Metal, glass, super rigid.

Competing with injecting molding

Prototyping materials — PUSH THE limit for materials Properties

4D Printing + StrataSys + Autodesk

• Print material composition: Joint is the geometric grid, hydrogel + FOrce Information is the third material
• Self-Assembling Material
• Speed – very flat transformed to large
• Textile, rubber,
• Printing AUGMENT properties of material
• Wood: Sod Dust with fillaments; CURLING, FOLDING, FOLD INTO FURNITURE SHAPE, WOOD EXPANDS BY MOISTURE
• Textiles: Stretch around the plane, encode the geometric transformation, cut out, with the code of forming: i.e.: Shoe
• Carbon Fiber: Moisture, light active material
• Rock Printing collaboration with ETH Zurich Institute of Technology:Exhibited in Chicago: Reverse Concrete

OTHER TOOLS not Printing

• Water Jetting

Suite of materials and tools

TRENDS

• 2015 is the MATERIAL REVOLUTION: functionality not seen before
• Print allows functionality known in robotics NOT KNOWN IN MATERIALS

NERVOUS-SYS

• SCIENCE&NATURE
• DIGITAL FABRICATION
• CO-CREATION

Objects PRODUCTIONS

• COMPLEXITY IS FREE
• VARIATION IS FREE
• LOWER BARRIERS TO CREATION

http://nervo.usHow to create design software – expensive and difficult to use

• design tools 2Ds to 3Ds to grow on a surface 3D Printing, plastics
• Cellular structure mimics in 3D structures
• Kinematics: FIber: Knit or woven: 3DSpace – digital hinges to get soft behaviours to make a dress from the
• simulate draping: 3D compressed: design to fit the body: 3D Printing, design app, body +fit
• Cloth Design – BodyLabs provide the body structure
• Kinematics folding before the gorments is made – Printed as a single piece
• Interactive design
• Shapeless in NYC a Shop in NYC
• Meeting in MOMA – Presentation: Dress Design in 3D Printing – construct objects

Build Printers and the Materials

3D Printer in every office, Printer on the Desktop

• Surgical design tools made by 3D Printing
• 2012 – $3Million machine
• New machine Laser Liquid material converts into solid: FDM and SLA Printer deposition
• Material COlor materila and FUnctional Materials — WHAT you see on functional materials

2015 and beyond

2016 Trends: Entrepreneurship in 3D Printing

1981 – XEROX introduced a machine wiht software and printing $7500

1982 – Macintosh of Apple – HW + SW: duplicated navigation $2500

1984 – rendering and navigation: Waste resource from scarcity to available
