3709
我的祖父是一个工匠。
00:16
Back in the day, he made制作 custom-made定制 shoes.
1
4660
3239
那时候,他手工定制鞋。
00:19
I never got to meet遇到 him.
2
7899
2211
我从没见过他,
00:22
He perished遇难 in the Holocaust大屠杀.
3
10110
2800
他在犹太人大屠杀中逝世。
00:24
But I did inherit继承 his love for making制造,
4
12910
4078
但我承传了他对手工制作的挚爱,
00:28
except that it doesn't exist存在 that much anymore.
5
16988
3938
虽说挚爱程度远不如他的高。
00:32
You see, while the Industrial产业 Revolution革命
6
20926
2510
你们知道,虽然工业革命
00:35
did a great deal合同 to improve提高 humanity人性,
7
23436
2743
极大程度地改善了人们的生活,
00:38
it eradicated根除 the very skill技能
8
26179
2937
但它使我祖父挚爱的
00:41
that my grandfather祖父 loved喜爱,
9
29116
3020
手工制作技能消亡,
00:44
and it atrophied萎缩 craftsmanship手艺 as we know it.
10
32136
3301
而且我们也知道,它让手工工艺衰微。
00:47
But all of that is about to change更改 with 3D printing印花,
11
35437
5303
但是这一切却是由于 3D 打印改变的
00:52
and it all started开始 with this,
12
40740
5078
开始于这个小东西
00:57
the very first part部分
13
45818
1832
这是 3D 打印
00:59
that was ever printed印刷的.
14
47650
2260
打印出来的第一件物品。
01:01
It's a little older旧的 than TEDTED.
15
49910
2563
它的年龄比 TED 大一些,
01:04
It was printed印刷的 in 1983
16
52473
2647
它是由 3D 打印的发明者
01:07
by Chuck Hull船壳,
17
55120
2720
查克•赫尔
01:09
who invented发明 3D printing印花.
18
57840
3608
在 1983 年打印出来的。
01:13
But the thing that I want to talk to you about today今天,
19
61448
2183
但今天我想跟你们谈的、
01:15
the big idea理念 that I want to discuss讨论 with you,
20
63631
1930
想跟你们讨论的伟大理念,
01:17
is not that 3D printing印花
21
65561
1903
不是 3D 打印
01:19
is going to catapult弹射 us into the future未来,
22
67464
3260
将引领我们走向未来,
01:22
but rather that it's actually其实 going
23
70724
2396
而是 3D 打印事实上将
01:25
to connect us with our heritage遗产,
24
73120
3093
我们与传统连接起来,
01:28
and it's going to usher招待员 in a new era时代
25
76213
3024
而且它将开辟一个新的时代,
01:31
of localized本地化, distributed分散式 manufacturing制造业
26
79237
3884
即基于数字化制造的
01:35
that is actually其实 based基于
27
83121
1732
兼具本地化与分散化
01:36
on digital数字 fabrication制造.
28
84853
2459
的制造业时代。
01:39
So think about useful有用 things.
29
87312
5798
想一些日常用品吧。
01:45
You all know your shoe size尺寸.
30
93110
1843
你们都知道自己鞋子的尺码,
01:46
How many许多 of you know the size尺寸
31
94953
1678
但有多少人知道
01:48
of the bridge of your nose鼻子
32
96631
1485
鼻梁的尺寸,
01:50
or the distance距离 between之间 your temples寺庙?
33
98116
3263
或者太阳穴之间的距离?
01:53
Anybody任何人?
34
101379
2531
有人吗?
01:55
Wouldn't岂不 it be awesome真棒 if you could,
35
103910
1798
如果你能前所未有地
01:57
for the first time, get eyewear眼镜
36
105708
2272
戴上不是由镜框、镜架组装成的,
01:59
that actually其实 fits适合 you perfectly完美
37
107980
3210
完美贴合脸部的眼镜,
02:03
and doesn't require要求 any hinge合页 assembly部件,
38
111190
3675
岂不是很酷吗?
02:06
so chances机会 are, the hinges铰链 are not going to break打破?
39
114865
3557
很有可能的是,镜架永远不会断裂。
02:10
But the implications启示 of 3D printing印花
40
118422
2598
3D 打印的应用,
02:13
go well beyond the tips提示 of our noses鼻子.
41
121020
3457
远不止我们鼻梁上的眼镜。
02:16
When I met会见 Amanda阿曼达 for the first time,
42
124477
2328
当我第一次遇到阿曼达,
02:18
she could already已经 stand up and walk步行 a little bit
43
126805
2595
她虽然腰部以下瘫痪,
02:21
even though虽然 she was paralyzed from the waist腰部 down,
44
129400
2955
已经能站立并走几步,
02:24
but she complained抱怨 to me that her suit适合
45
132355
2715
但她向我抱怨,
02:27
was uncomfortable不舒服.
46
135070
1925
这身衣服不舒服。
02:28
It was a beautiful美丽 robotic机器人 suit适合
47
136995
1451
这是一套由 Ekso Bionics 公司
02:30
made制作 by EksoEKSO Bionics仿生学,
48
138446
1688
制作的机器人套装,
02:32
but it wasn't inspired启发 by her body身体.
49
140134
3768
但不是为她量身打造的,
02:35
It wasn't made制作 to measure测量.
50
143902
2317
并没有测量她的尺寸。
02:38
So she challenged挑战 me to make her something
51
146219
2723
所以她请我为她做一身
02:40
that was a little bit more feminine女人,
52
148942
3161
更女性化一点、
02:44
a little bit more elegant优雅,
53
152103
3228
看起来更优雅一点、
02:47
and lightweight轻量级,
54
155331
1254
更轻的套装。
02:48
and like good tailors裁缝,
55
156585
1532
我们模仿裁缝,
02:50
we thought that we would measure测量 her digitally数字.
56
158117
4380
为她数字化量身定做。
02:54
And we did. We built内置 her an amazing惊人 suit适合.
57
162497
3089
我们做到了,为她做了一件令人惊奇的套装。
02:57
The incredible难以置信 part部分 about what I learned学到了
58
165586
3008
我从这个故事中感受到的
03:00
from Amanda阿曼达 is a lot of us are looking at 3D printing印花
59
168594
3150
一件不可思议的事情是,我们很多人看到 3D 打印后,
03:03
and we say to ourselves我们自己,
60
171744
1698
会对自己说,
03:05
it's going to replace更换 traditional传统 methods方法.
61
173442
2858
它会颠覆传统。
03:08
Amanda阿曼达 looked看着 at it and she said,
62
176300
1980
阿曼达看到它后说,
03:10
it's an opportunity机会 for me
63
178280
1890
这对我而言是一个机会,
03:12
to reclaim回收 my symmetry对称
64
180170
2205
让我重新变得美丽,
03:14
and to embrace拥抱 my authenticity真伪.
65
182375
2978
感受到真实的自己。
03:17
And you know what? She's not standing常设 still.
66
185353
2129
你知道吗?她现在不只是想站起来了,
03:19
She now wants to walk步行 in high heels脚跟.
67
187482
2801
她想穿高跟鞋呢。
03:24
It doesn't stop there.
68
192940
1399
远不止这些,

2524
如果我们能前所未有地
05:45
make incredible难以置信 delectablesdelectables
116
333292
2987
制作像这只TED小熊一样的
05:48
like this beautiful美丽 TEDTED Teddy泰迪熊 here,

的不可意思的美味,
05:53
that are edible食用?
118
341000
1826
将会怎么样?
05:54
What if we could completely全然
change更改 the experience经验,
119
342826
3684
如果 3D 打印能颠覆如
05:58
like you see with that absinthe苦艾酒 serving服务
120
346510
3805
饮用苦艾酒的体验,
06:02
that is completely全然 3D printed印刷的?
121
350315
3750
将会怎么样?
06:06
And what if we could begin开始 to put ingredients配料
122
354065
4803
如果我们能任意地
06:10
and colors颜色 and flavors口味 in every一切 taste味道,
123
358868
3441
添加颜色、口味到任何食物,
06:14
which哪一个 means手段 not only delicious美味的 foods食品
124
362309
2798
那么不仅可以定制美食,
06:17
but the promise诺言 of personalized个性化 nutrition营养
125
365107
3817
还能个性化营养成分,
06:20
around the corner?
126
368924
1354
将会怎么样?
06:22
And that gets得到 me to one of the
biggest最大 deals交易 about 3D printing印花.
127
370278
3145
这让我想到了 3D 打印为我们带来的
最大的恩惠之一,
06:25
With 3D printing印花, complexity复杂 is free自由.
128
373423
2861
凭借 3D 打印,我们不再为复杂买单。
06:28
The printer打印机 doesn't care关心
129
376284
2862
打印最基本的图样,
06:31
if it makes品牌 the most rudimentary初步 shape形状
130
379146
2644
或是最复杂的图样,
06:33
or the most complex复杂 shape形状,
131
381790
2200
对 3D 打印机来说是一样的。
06:35
and that is completely全然 turning车削 design设计
132
383990
3158
这会完全改变
06:39
and manufacturing制造业 on its head as we know it.
133
387148
3546
我们熟知的设计和制造业。
06:42
Many许多 people think that 3D printing印花 will be
134
390694
2327
很多人认为 3D 打印会敲响
06:45
the end结束 of manufacturing制造业 as we know it.
135
393021
3738
我们熟知的制造业消亡的钟声。
06:48
I think that it's the opportunity机会 to put
136
396759
2513
我想这正是将未来的技术交给
06:51
tomorrow's明天的 technology技术 in the hands of youngsters青少年
137
399272
3661
今年的孩子们的机会,
06:54
that will create创建 endless无穷 abundance丰富
138
402933
2603
3D 打印将创造,
06:57
of job工作 opportunities机会,
139
405536
1920
创造无数的工作机会,
06:59
and with that,
140
407456
1964
并且有了 3D 打印技术
07:01
everybody每个人 can become成为 an expert专家 maker制作者
141
409420
2894
每个人都可以成为制作专家
07:04
and an expert专家 manufacturer生产厂家.
142
412314
2104
和制造专家。
07:06
That will take new tools工具.
143
414418
1886
这将需要新的工具。
07:08
Not everybody每个人 knows知道 how to use CADCAD,
144
416304
2733
并不是每个人都会用 CAD 制图软件,
07:11
so we're developing发展 haptics触觉,
145
419037
2043
所以我们在开发
07:13
perceptual知觉的 devices设备
146
421080
1939
触觉感知设备,
07:15
that will allow允许 you to touch触摸
147
423019
1901
它可以让你亲手
07:16
and feel your designs设计
148
424920
1765
触摸和感知你的设计,
07:18
as if you play with digital数字 clay粘土.
149
426685
2878
就好像在玩「数字粘土」。
07:21
When you do things like that,
150
429563
1697
当你这样设计时,
07:23
and we also developed发达 things that take
151
431260

我们还设计了拍完实物照片
07:25
physical物理 photographs照片 that are instantly即刻 printable可印刷,

立马就能打印出来的设备,
07:27
it will make it easier更轻松 to create创建 content内容,
153
435817
2650
这会让制造变得容易,
07:30
but with all of the unimagined无法想象,
154
438467
3031
但除了这些想象不到的,
07:33
we will also have the unintended意外,
155

So many许多 people ask me,
158
452150

很多人问我,
07:45
will we have a 3D printer打印机 in every一切 home?
159
453633
2508
每个家庭都有会一台 3D 打印机吗?
07:48
I think it's the wrong错误 question to ask.
160
456141
2253
我想问题不该这么问。
07:50
The right question to ask is,
161
458394
1381
应该问的问题是,
07:51
how will 3D printing印花 change更改 my life?
162
459775
3765
3D 打印将会怎样改变我的生活?
07:55
Or, in other words, what room房间 in my house
163
463540
2190
或者,换句话说,我家里哪间房
07:57
will 3D printing印花 fit适合 in?
164
465730
2164
适合安放 3D 打印机?
07:59
So everything that you see here
