Local 3-D printer
Kelly Bennett from Voice of San Diego directed us to local SD artist Matthew Hebert who uses 3D printing in his art. He's been especially fascinated lately by the 3D printer that
San Diego State University, where he teaches, just bought. (KCET) You can read Kinsee Moran's article at the link above. We first saw his work at the Art San Diego Fair.
