About

Christophe Guberan is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of design, materials science, and digital fabrication, best known for his groundbreaking work in rapid, large-scale additive manufacturing. His most influential contribution, "Large-Scale Rapid Liquid Printing" (2017, 104 citations), directly tackles the core limitations of conventional 3D printing—small build volumes, slow print times, and restrictive material properties. By developing a method that extrudes liquid materials into a gel suspension, Guberan enables the creation of large, complex structures in minutes rather than hours, using soft, elastic, or industrial-grade polymers. This innovation has opened new possibilities for furniture, architecture, and custom manufacturing, bridging the gap between prototyping and production. Beyond this, Guberan’s broader research explores programmable materials and reactive surfaces, often blending chemistry with computational design to create objects that change shape, color, or texture in response to environmental stimuli. His work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Victoria and Albert Museum, and he has received accolades such as the Swiss Design Award. Guberan’s vision continues to inspire a future where manufacturing is not only faster and larger but also more adaptive and sustainable.
