TED'S TEN 5. Design that explores Cleaner/Better Technologies.

This seminar addressed methods of technology that would make more sustainable products. It explored ways that we could use new technologies to save water/energy/materials during the production phase. It s a design strategy that can be applied to all areas of design because it encompasses technologies that can be adapted and used in any aspect of design:

ENERGY
  • Light - laser cutting, laser etching, laser welding 
  • Water - water jet cutting 
  • Sound - ultrasonic welding, ultrasonic patterning 
  • Heat - welding, plasma cutting, extruding, reforming

BIOLOGY
  • Bio - GM technology, vanishing muslin, regenerated cellulose fibres 

NANO
  • Nano technology 

MANUFACTURE
  • Production Technologies - zero waste cutting, 3D warp knitting 
  • Digital Printing - 2D and 3D 
  • Coating and Finishing - colour technologies, Teflon 

MATERIALS
  • Smart - Piezoelectric materials, shape memory alloys and shape memory polymers, magnetic shape memory alloys, self-healing materials

OTHER
  • Visioning - Second Life, body scanning, interactive. Devices - RFID tagging, mobiles, internet & communications
