  • Marcelo Coelho and Colin Raney on 3D printing and the digital manufacturing revolution

    November 18, 2015 Editor 0

    In this episode of the Solid Podcast, David Cranor and I talk with Marcelo Coelho, creative director of Marcelo Coelho Studio, and Colin Raney, chief marketing officer at Formlabs.

    Coelho and Raney worked with Cranor on the Pop-up Factory, a production line that manufactured connected devices on the floor of the Solid 2015 conference. The four of us reviewed the process of spinning up the factory (which took just two months from beginning to end), and the impact of live fabrication on attendees at the conference.

    Discussion points:

    • Manufacturing as a creative process, and as an input for designers
    • How 3D printing reduces iteration time and enables design and production to occur simultaneously
    • Manufacturing as deployment
    • Why the Pop-up Factory is analogous to the Hollywood model of film production
