SUMMARY:Vortrag | Bernhard Thomaszewski, Disney Research Zurich
DESCRIPTION:Talk Abstract:\nAs a key advantage over conventional manufacturing technologies, 3D printing has the ability to\ncreate complexity and variety at no extra cost. This fact indicates the possibility of a mass\ncustomization culture in which we personalize designs according to our needs and preferences and\nfabricate them at home on a 3D printer. But while there is already a thriving market of\nconsumer-level 3D printers, the tools that would empower average users to design 3D-printable\ncontent are still largely lacking.\nIn this talk, I will highlight a number of challenges that arise when creating such tools and\nillustrate some key concepts on the example of physical characters such as mechanical toys, robotic\ncreatures, and other mechanically-functional models. I will also talk about our work on design\ntools for physical surfaces such as balloon-like inflatables and structures made from interlocking\nelements.\n\nSpeaker's Bio:\nBernhard Thomaszewski is a Research Scientist at Disney Research Zurich, where he leads the\ngroup on Computational Design and Digital Fabrication. He obtained his Master’s degree (Diplom) and\nPhD (Dr. rer. nat.) in Computer Science from the University of Tübingen. Prior to joining Disney\nResearch, he was a postdoctoral researcher at ETH Zürich, where he is an adjunct lecturer today.\nBernhard's research interests are in the areas of computational design, digital fabrication, and\ncomputer animation. His current focus is on design tools that allow non-expert users to create\nfunctional content for digital fabrication devices.
