Platt Boyd
Founder - Chief Innovation Architect
Platt is a combinatorial problem solver who brings ideas into reality. First accomplishing that in a traditional architecture practice for 15 years, then founding a startup with the idea of how we might build like nature using 3D printing. Creating, patenting, and refining a technology for commercial adoption at the building scale to make what was previously unbuildable into real projects. Growing a company from a single founder to a thriving community of culturally aligned A-players who have taken an idea to scalable commercial adoption.

We Can Design Almost Anything. Why Can’t We Build It?
We can design buildings with extraordinary complexity. But when those designs move toward construction, they're often simplified to fit the materials, methods, and processes we already know how to use. What if robotic 3D printing could change that relationship between design and construction? Platt Boyd, founder and chief innovation architect of Branch Technology, joins Ryan Ware to explore how cellular fabrication, nature-inspired geometry, and new manufacturing methods are challenging th...
