Item Metadata only 3D Print Expo Conference, Moscow - 2 x presentations(2016-11-17) Dean, Lionel T.3D Print Expo Conference, Moscow, Russia 17-18 2016 Presentations entitled:- “Demonstrating the potential of precious metal AM to the jewellery industry” 17/11/16 “Generative design strategies: the product art of Lionel T Dean” 18/11/16 Venue - ECC Sokolniki, MoscowItem Embargo 3D Printing: The Good, The Bad and The Beautiful(2017-01-27) Dean, Lionel T.3D Printing: the good, the bad and he beautiful was a group exhibition held in the Main Gallery of the National Centre for Craft and Design, Sleaford, UK. The exhibition curated by Anne Chick and the University of Lincoln and ran from 27/01/17 – 23/04/17. The exhibition was described as follows:- “The exhibition offers an insight into the complex social, political and environmental issues surrounding 3D printing, including the role of the designer with a technology that is openly available to anyone.” Dr Lionel T Dean was invited to submit four existing works and commissioned to create a fifth. The new work Bella was a multi-platform artwork comprising a video animation clip and a real work 3D printed artefact derived from that performance. The Bella commission was a multi-platform artwork comprising video animation and a physical piece derived from that performance. It takes the form of an art deco lamp and features Bella, a ‘lamp girl’ lifting the illuminated globe. Bella is not a static character however, she morphs through a video animation and appears in four guises in the physical lamp. “Bella is an art nouveau lamp girl at once frustrated by her gender role and empowered by her femininity; does she play the role or the role play her? No longer frozen in time by the limitations on analogue fabrication, Bella exists as a map of experiences and projected gender politics”Item Metadata only Additive Manufacturing (AM) / 3D Printing – Giving you the freedom to design (Opening keynote)(2017-11-07) Dean, Lionel T.Emerging application summit: Additive Manufacturing (AM) / 3D Printing – Giving you the freedom to design - Opening Keynote Understanding the capabilities and commercial progress of Additive Manufacturing (AM) and how it is opening new applications and markets The flexibility offered by digital design and manufacturing technologies allows us to reassess the relationship between consumer, manufacture and designer. Direct digital manufacturing can deliver bespoke solutions, industrially produced or simply printed at home. Using Additive Manufacture (AM) the economies of scale associated serial production can still be enjoyed whilst employing a more personal approach to design and manufacture. Consumer products can be tailored to an individual’s need or desire; so called mass customisation. For well over a decade Lionel T Dean has been exploring AM business models that seek to engage the consumer in the creative process. These ideas range from an automated, computer generated approach termed mass individualisation, to co-creation, where the consumer takes a more active role in the creative process. This presentation explores the issues that surround a paradigm shift in consumerism. To what extent do consumers wish to shape the world them around them and what tools might they need to facilitate this? Can consumers become ‘prosumers’ without undue effort or the compromise of amateur results? Can the designer retain control as creative ground is ceded to the user and what are the implications for creative ownership, identity and brand.“Item Metadata only Additive Manufacturing in Product Design education: Out with the old in and in with the new?(2013) Ford, Peter B.; Dean, Lionel T.Item Metadata only Areas for 3D Printing in government services(2018-02-08) Dean, Lionel T.A keynote presentation and workshop delivered by invitation ant the biannual Knowledge Economy Forum, Kuwait City.

Rodgers, Lancaster University. The contribution was a custom 3D printed prosthesis for a below the knee amputee in South Africa “Digital design and manufacturing technologies such as scanning and 3D printing (additive manufacturing) are starting to impact the design of products for health and wellbeing as they allow for the customisation of medical products. The implications of these technologies go far beyond fit and function. Rather, they have the potential to redesign the relationship between the person and the object. Out on a Limb explores this potential through a practical example of design-led research, where the designer deliberately challenges the conventional approach to designing lower-limb prosthetics for women. Conventional prosthetic limbs are essentially kits of standard engineering components produced irrespective of gender let alone personal taste and sensibility. Recent years have seen move away from the disguise of the false limb to almost a celebration of the prosthetic. Here digital technologies have allowed the designer to work with the user and to create the prosthesis as a fashion accessory. 3D printed in titanium, ti64”Item Metadata only Design Theatre: 3D printing virtual performances(2016-03-08) Dean, Lionel T.REAL 2016, Fort Mason Centre, San Francisco 08/03/2016 - 09/03/2016 “REAL 2016 is a two-day multidisciplinary conference on reality computing and the 3D technology ecosystem.

Artists throughout the ages have explored, adopted and adapted the use of tools and techniques for creative means. The digital era has been no different; and as technology emerges, digital practice develops consequentially. Since the introduction of 3D computer graphics, practitioners have been creating virtual realms and digital objects in parallel. At the same time, advances in computer processing speeds, coupled with high-end technologies such as the availability of additive manufacture have allowed physical artefacts to be created on demand, leading to a proliferation of experimental practice. Whilst experimentation is the norm in art, commercial design tends to favour more established and formalised methodologies. For instance, software developers that aim to create dependency on their products adopt structured workflows that discourage practitioners from straying from the established path. In furthering the search for creativity, this paper argues that designers must look to the unorthodox experimentation of art and to harness the use of emerging technology. The paper reviews current literature and charts the rise of 3D digital design practice, with a central focus on work produced by means of additive manufacture. It examines several case studies on the use of experimental digital techniques in design practice before discussing the benefits and pitfalls of such an approach and speculates on future developments.Item Metadata only Exploring the use of additive manufacture for high value consumer products(13th Conference on Rapid Design, Prototyping & Manufacturing (RDPM2012), 2012-06-22) Dean, Lionel T.; Pei, EujinHigh value consumer products have proved significant in the development of Additive Manufacturing (AM). Whilst the often whimsical outputs of this sector lack the economic importance of the aerospace industry or the humanitarian value of medical applications, they have arguably engaged the lay person in way that more technical fields have not. The consumer product market offers vast potential for AM. Added design value exploiting the free-form nature of the technology such as customisation and complexity can justify the use of a premium production process. To appeal to a market beyond the avant-garde buyer however, design investment should be matched by materials of quality and permanence. Metals AM processes, coupled with appropriate finishing, are offering materials indistinguishable from conventional manufacture. This paper will explore through case studies the increasing palette of materials and finishes available in high value goods from metal filled plastics through to sintered gold. Design factors relating to these processes will be discussed and the future needs of a developing market speculated upon.Item Metadata only The Factory of the Future, Group Exhibition(2016) Dean, Lionel T.3D Printing, The factory of the future, Lieu du Design (centre for Design), Paris This exhibition dedicated entirely to 3D printing technology was billed as “the first in France wholly devoted to exploring the interdisciplinary and multifaceted topic of 3D printing technology and its undeniable influence on everything from industry, to economics, to creative and social issues, demonstrated to the public through achievements in the fields of 3D design, 3D printed architecture, 3D printed fashion, health, research and 3D printed food. The “3D Printing, the Factory of the Future” exhibition was created as a partnership between the Center for Design and the renowned Centre Pompidou. The Center for Design is located in the 19th district of Paris and promotes industrial and design and eco-design within France's economic sector, the 3D Printing exhibit was intended “to show both the general public, and private and public sector decision-makers how 3D printing technology, alongside digital design tools, will definitively change how we live, design, create and consume.” A second goal of the three-month-long 3D printing exhibition in Paris was “to raise awareness about the need to develop a wide-reaching national strategy to make up for France’s perceived ‘falling behind’ in the global digital manufacturing field” The 3D printing exhibition included a range of 3D printing projects by various international 3D designers and artists. “These included Ron Arad’s 3D printed D-Frames eyewear collection; Lilian van Daal’s ‘soft’ 3D printed biomimicry chair; the Armure 3D printed clutch by Maison 203; and 3D printed gold jewelry by Lionel T Dean, to name just a few.” (Lieu du Design 2016). Dean contributed seven jewellery projects in direct metal gold and titanium to the exhibition.Item Metadata only Flex-it: Exploring emotional expression through elasticity in digital manufacturing(Intellect, 2016-04-04) Dean, Lionel T.; Niedderer, KThis research investigates the potential of structural flexibility as a functional and affective design element as well as its potential applications. Our research bridges the areas of jewellery design, emotion design and structural development in the Additive Manufacture (AM) of metals. The article offers a theoretical review of the nature of flexible structures and of current deformable Additive Manufacturing (AM) geometries and their applications. In relation to this, we have conducted a series of practical experiments, which have explored AM flexible geometries to create emotional expression. Both, existing examples and the outcomes of the experiments are evaluated against the soma-semiotic framework of emotional expression developed by Niedderer. The outcome and contribution of the research is a better understanding of structural geometries of flexibility and their potential uses, as well as of its affective potential.Item Open Access From Vernacular to Personalised and Sustainable(The Architectural and Science Association and Genova University Press, 2014-12-10) Almerbati, Nehal; Ford, Peter B.; Taki, A. H.; Dean, Lionel T.The social and environmental role of closed oriental balco-nies (Mashrabiyas) remains a significant vernacular aspect of Middle Eastern architecture. However, changes in architectural style, social needs, and the high manufacturing cost of Mashrabiya materials and techniques, Bahraini houses lost their very distinctive window veils. The research aims to validate a new Mashrabiya product for 21st cen-tury Bahraini houses using new manufacturing technologies. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is now at the heart of evolutionary technologies. Contextual information drawn from relevant theory, ethnography and practice is used to form a methodological framework for the new AM Mashrabiya. Additionally, interviews with architects, manufacturers and residents are the methods used to define a new AM Mashrabiya prototype that is then functionally and economically compared to oth-er manufacturing techniques. Prototypes of new AM screens are de-veloped. The main results set boundaries for the viability of AM to produce Mashrabiya and promote a sustainable way of reviving their use within Middle Eastern dwellings.Item Metadata only Generative Design Masterclass(2017-11-20) Dean, Lionel T.A two day masterclass in generative design delivered by Dean at University of Technology, Sydney, Australia.
