with, or in this case,
来自于极客的一些想法。
with, for the most part.
和工程相关的学术背景,
in biology, chemistry or engineering,
about biomedical engineering today.
我将讨论关于生物医学工程的话题。
making lots of things identical.
一模一样的物品。
there's something impersonal
这些同样的物品
特定的人设计一个产品,
to design one thing for one person
大多数人的模型,
aimed more to a demographic model
失去了对设计的信心,
by the whole process in general,
and redesign designing altogether,
design inspirations,
and that got me to this guy.
来自麻省理工学院的人认识他,
of him somewhere.
or the designer of designers.
a household word
Six Million Dollar Man
this pop culture show,
鲜活的人设计一个产品,
for a real person,
functional requirements;
最低限度的功能需求;
如何做到最好,
way out in the fringe
the quality of life for somebody
for the rest of their life.
into a design philosophy,
into the studio that I have now;
to think along these lines.
but it works for us.
的理念,但对我们很有效。
about prosthetic limbs
技艺高超的工程学原理。
of functionality and performance
of an industrial designer,
or the beauty or the individual qualities
utilitarian devices.
并且是实用的设备。
for a lot of people, that doesn't work.
stuffed with other gym socks
the shape that once was;
并不是我们的目标。
is not a mechanical entity,
能恢复他们的功能缺陷,
can address them.
不仅仅是冰冷的金属机械。
our kinematic sculpture.
for mass production,
instead of hard geometry,
而不是套用生硬的几何外形,
by mass production,
独特的、个性化的东西。
individualized thing.
in the new design process,
我们放弃了这些方法,
when you scan somebody:
的3D资料导入你的电脑。
into your computer.
使用镜像方法翻转,
the surviving limb, mirror it over,
will recreate symmetry --
and as hard to achieve
that, no matter what,
as their fingerprint.
两件一模一样的东西。
of creating two identical things.
computer modeling, 3D CAD.
以及3D CAD来实现。
of the individual's taste and personality
print the results.
的部件为“整流罩”,
的整流罩命名的,
after the panels on a motorcycle
into a sculptural thing.
机械性的物品变为一件雕塑。
it's really tricky to play soccer
where there used to be a leg.
that look like sporting gear.
拿出来一件器具一样,
he just pulled it out of the gym bag,
找回控制身体的感觉。
of his body came back to him.
the ball, to feel the ball,
腿的外形一样,而他的身体
that original shape that he had had
is that the other members of the team
as the amputee on the team.
becoming a focal point for him.
的假肢不再是一个焦点了。
very quiet value in that,
失去了一条腿。
of James's personality and style.
into what would be his calf.
这个纹身打印到他的假肢上。
of his motorcycle.
you can't really tell at first glance
第一眼你真的很难分辨出
and where James starts.
between the two,
人类肢体原有的样子。
look like it could be human.
unapologetically man-made,
理直气壮的制作人造产品,
的样子,形态,
cool and beautiful,
can't wait to show the world,
“他是个有假肢的残疾人。”
"He's an amputee with a prosthetic."
with something really cool going on.
what came out of it to be really sexy,
that lends itself well to 3D printing.
the contour of the leg,
giving form to the lace.
is you can see daylight through it.
透过蕾丝的孔照射过来,
is totally visible.
and shape and contours
that matched her purse,
是她的钱包样式的,
where we laser-tattooed the leather,
用激光纹上纹身,
from one minute to the next?
of somebody's personality as we can.
这个下周就能完成了。
His will be finished next week.
that we deal with.
的原始电脑数据。
timeless-type personality,
but in polished nickel.
做了一个粗花呢的人字形样式。
to show his tattoos,
into the leather.
把纹身纹到皮质材料上。
because we can do this,
一部分是因为我们可以做到,
to what will be a part of him.
和他将来身体的一部分。
we believe in that.
of somebody's personal taste and choice,
defining their body.
and expressing something
然后去表达一些东西,
what would be their body,
亦或是你拥有的闪光点,
and suggests them in the best way we can.
用最好的方式来表达。
and this whole process:
to making one thing per person;
为每个人都做一样东西;
really lends itself well to complexity.
the work we're doing now.
It's symmetric to the other leg.
与另一条腿是对称的。
to create, curbside recyclable,
about that all the time,
的确是没有问题的。
it works just great.
that I could go anywhere in the world
可以去世界的任何地方,
and a laptop computer,
几小时之内就可以创建模型,
for somebody, in a matter of hours,
一个非常高质量的假肢。
printed leg for a very low cost.
we're finding it; we'll get there.
我们发现了它,并且实现了。
and created this for John.
制造了约翰的腿。
is that when his fiancee looked at this,
看见他的假肢的时候,
better than that leg."
我更喜欢这个假肢。”
what he goes through --
there's something very valuable.
"Nobody says that."
没听过那样的话语。
that this is a new type of design,
the original process on its head,
between the designer and the end user,
some of the control --
他们的身体和个人品味。
into the process, and their taste.
to a greater change that's happening
products will be evaluated
part of the DNA of the end product itself.
终端产品DNA的一部分,
on how well they address a unique person,
in one of the first legs we did;
就跟我们预想的一样;
that shape in eight years."
第一次感觉到腿的样子。”
and energy we put into it,
