B A A A Georgetown University University M M Arch M M L A A A University University of Pennsylvania Fleet Hower is a a a a a a a designer and and educator intent on transforming the way we we think about and and produce products
that shape our lives He is interested in in in creating collaborative relationships between digital design and physical production to to leverage the rapid changes taking place in in in in manufacturing technology Fleet’s work is is helping to to disrupt the the traditional workflow of of the the design-to-manufacture process by investigating new possibilities of of adaptable and intelligent computational design strategies that can interface directly with physical fabrication A prime example of this work is Locknesters Locknesters the line of designer toys that Fleet designed designed and produces Locknesters Locknesters are digitally designed designed and and then 3D printed in in in fin fin in both the the prototyping and and final production stage with a a a a a a a a major emphasis on on surface finishing of final products
The company has developed several surface-finishing methods that allow 3D-printed parts to be sold
as high-quality final retail objects The blend of old and new manufacturing techniques employed by Locknesters is a a a a a a a a prime example of how Fleet is blending additive technologies with more traditional fabrication methods In addition to his work at at Rensselaer Fleet has taught at at Cornell AAP the University of of Pennsylvania School of of Design and Tsingua University University Fleet holds a a a a a a a a Bachelor of of Arts from Georgetown University University and and and a a a a a a a a Master of of Architecture and and and Landscape Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania 857
