Scott Schiller , Global Head of Market Development , 3D Printing , HP
Scott Schiller , joined HP ’ s printing organization in 2003 and has been helping customers grow and transform their businesses ever since . A University of Washington and Michael G . Foster School of Business graduate with a degree in IT and an MBA in Technology Entrepreneurship , Scott plays a pivotal role in accelerating the adoption of 3D printing across industries .
How has your previous experiences impacted how you are helping to lead HP ’ s 3D printing business ?
3D printing is my second startup in HP . In 2005 I had the good fortune to start working on a business concept investigation for large inkjet printing systems — the size of a bus ! We had great business leaders as sponsors that believed in us , and we eventually formalized this into a new division which still operates today as our PageWide Web Press business . The same learnings we ’ ve experience from digitizing print manufacturing processes with PageWide Web Press apply to 3D printing . Our focus is still on improving business outcomes by digitizing manufacturing .
What do you most look forward to being 3D printed in the future and why ?
Unfortunately , I can ’ t name any one thing because , in this job , I have been exposed to some of the most amazing , innovative companies in the world like Nike , Johnson & Johnson , BMW , Jabil to name just a few . Hearing and seeing some of the amazing ideas they have — the future just can ’ t get here fast enough for me .
What does excite me is thinking about the innovative potential of the next generation . One day I was working on a presentation about our technology . I glanced over at my son who was playing Minecraft and was dumbfounded . This is one of the most popular games of all time , used by kids around the world , and it ’ s all about designing and building things in 3 dimensional spaces and applying properties and attributes to basic building blocks . This could be a description of what designing for Multi Jet Fusion is . To think we will soon have an entire generation of new designers that are native to this kind of thinking is super exciting .
What piece of advice would you give others striving to disrupt markets and industries ?
Focus on outcomes and problems to be solved rather than “ how things are done today .” I like the analogy of “ people want holes , not drill bits .” I also think it ’ s important to break things down to their most fundamental level and try to rebuild them up in a way that creates a real breakthrough rather than just incremental improvements .
Where do you find inspiration ?
Our customers and partners and of course , my co-workers . I like to say “ I ’ m like Ringo … I ’ m just happy to be here !” I get to work with the smartest people in the world and truly great leaders . Every day is inspiring .
What hobbies in your personal life inspire your work in 3d printing ?
My two main passions outside of work are running and playing guitar — I am already using 3D Printed insoles that are customized for my particular needs which were prepared by our partner companies RS Print and Materialise . They are amazing ! I am really excited to see how 3D printing can help improve the performance of athletes across a variety of sports .
For guitars , I had the great pleasure of getting to work with designer Olaf Diegel of Wohlers and Associates and Olaf specializes in 3D printing guitars — his work is absolutely amazing . •
