Dr Guy Bingham
Dr Guy Bingham is a Senior Lecturer in BSc Product Design at De Montfort University, having completed 5 years as a Research Associate (RA) for the Additive Manufacturing Research Group (AMRG) based at Loughborough University. Guy's research has primarily investigated the design implications and freedoms of Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques. He is a leading authority in AM textiles, their applications, design and the efficient generation of their three-dimensional (3D) data.
Guy's PhD research concerning RM textiles investigated a new methodology for the efficient generation of their 3D conformal data, which resulted in the development of a new dedicated CAD tool. Guy has created several RM Textile garments and has a number of publications in this novel research area in international journals and has presented at both engineering and textile conferences worldwide.

|  | Lionel Theodore Dean
Lionel is a graduate engineer and has a Master’s degree from the Royal College of Art, London. His work explores the boundaries between Art and Design.
In 2002 Lionel created FutureFactories, a concept that combines computer aided design and computer scripting to produce virtual designs that evolve and mutate. On-screen designs are ‘printed out’ as real world artefacts using direct digital manufacturing (so called Rapid Prototyping). The project has proved a huge success yielding a string of iconic designs ranging from gallery pieces to retail products for well known manufacturers.
FutureFactories has been exhibited extensively around the world. In 2005 one of Lionel’s pieces, Tuber9, was acquired by MoMA, The Museum for Modern Art in New York, for its permanent Design Collection.

Trained in Fashion, Philip has moved to the space between fashion and technology, which is becoming one of the most important areas for future hybrid culture.
He is a senior research fellow and director of the Digital Fashion Studio at London College of Fashion, and works with his team in 3D CAD and software development, body scanning and 2D and 3D printing. He is also a member of the Centre for Fashion Science, LCF and Textile Futures Research Group at the University of the Arts, London.
Philip also works as a consultant in design innovation for a number of clients in the fashion industry, and is currently involved in both national and international research projects.
| | Tavs Jorgensen Danish born Jorgensen is a research fellow at the Autonomatic Research Cluster, University College Falmouth, UK. Jorgensen’s research is currently focused on investigating how new human computer interfaces can facilitate more personal and expressive aesthetics in the artefacts created via digital tools.
Originally trained as a craft potter, Jorgensen has been running his own award-winning design consultancy since 1995. In addition to his commercial work and research practice, Jorgensen also teaches on the Ceramic and Glass course at the Royal College of Art and frequently guest lectures at leading international universities and colleges. |  | Geoffrey Mann
Studio*Mrmann was founded in 2005 by Geoffrey Mann, a Scottish artist and designer who transposes the ephemeral into the tangible through embracing the integration of digital media and the physical form. Since graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2005, Mann's critically acclaimed Long Exposure and Natural Occurrence series has been exhibited nationally and internationally, featuring at Design and the Elastic Mind, MoMA, New York; the International Bombay Sapphire Glass prize (2005 and 2008); and the Jerwood Contemporary Makers Prize 2009.
In 2008, Mann was awarded the World Craft Council Prize for Glass and in 2009 was a joint winner of the Jerwood Contemporary Makers Prize. Mann's work has work included in the MoMA, New York and MAD, New York, permanent collections.
