/Art of the Exoskeleton: 3D Printing for the Human Condition/

Scott Summit, Designer, Bespoke Innovations

Monday, April 1, 7:30-9 pm

Banatao Auditorium, Sutardja Dai Hall, UC Berkeley

Free and open to the public

---------------------------------------------------------------

What if you could communicate and spread physical products as easily
as software or code? And what if you could modify each one to meet the
specific needs of the individual? 3D printing offers just that
ability, though its potential has only recently begun to be realized.
We are now able to create custom solutions for human needs, based on
the individuality of that specific body. But we can go further and
infuse that product with beauty, personality and uniqueness with no
extra burden, since an entirely digital process remains indifferent to
complexity. This presentation will showcase some of the ways that a
mass-customized process stands to improve the quality of life for
people with needs unmet by mass-produced solutions. It will explore
how design, art, and a new approach to product creation may invite new
products into our lives.

--------------------------------------------------------

Scott Summit seeks to connect complex human needs with design and
technology solutions. To this end, he founded Bespoke Innovations in
2010, based on 20 years of experience and research in design and
additive fabrication. Bespoke was founded on the simple idea that an
integrated approach that connects design, medicine and new technology
stands to offer more meaningful and individualized solutions to
address a wide variety of human needs.

As a designer, his clients have included Apple, Nike, Palm, Silicon
Graphics, and other innovation-oriented companies large and small. His
designs have earned international recognition including top honors
from the IDSA, IDEA, The Chicago Athenaeum, IGood Design, and Core77.
Summit holds over 20 design and utility patents and has held faculty
positions at Stanford University, Carnegie Mellon, and currently holds
a faculty position at Singularity University. He has spoken at TEDx
Cambridge, the Vanguard Lecture Series, the Summit Series, Stanford's
Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders series and keynoted at Autodesk
University. Bespoke was acquired by 3D Systems in May of 2012, and now
drives its medical solutions research.
