Platt Boyd
Branch Technology
Founder, CEO
Platt is the Founder and CEO of Branch Technology who practiced as an award winning architect for 15 years prior to leaving a partnership 7 years ago to found Branch. His fascination with natural structures led to the initiation of a new technology using freeform 3D printing combined with conventional materials to robotically prefabricate architectural assemblies with unprecedented design freedom. The Cellular Fabrication (C-FAB™) method takes its cues from nature, where material use is minimized, but form is free to become almost anything.
Branch has evolved from an idea to a global leader in construction scale 3D printing. They have received awards ranging from NASA, Inc, Dezeen, and the publishers of Architect Magazine to the State of Tennessee where they are located. They are working with the National Science Foundation, Air Force, Department of Energy, and corporate partners to further develop the technology producing composite walls for commercial facades.
