more ‘everyday uses’ for applicable 3d printing. this seems far fetched now but its interesting to see designers using printing techniques to produce some really awesome conceptual product design

some inspiration and sources for our next assignment, up cycling and hyper function and reverse engineering, oh my!

applications of 3d printing not just for design but for really awesome medical advances... crazy what we can do now with this technology as compared to what we were able to do just 3 or 4 years ago..

some problems with rendering:

as you can see in the bottom photo, my duck has color applied to it that seems to work in the layers i worked in. but when i go to render... ghost duck. hoping to problem solve this
