Spray-on clothing newer than 3-d printers!

From Jeffery Laudenslager we hear news  of this amazing fabric that can be used also as bandages embedded with healing drugs. Of course, Jeffery sees used for building audience with nudity and recreational drugs!

Digital Grotesque: Printing Architecture



With thanks to Dana Levine for sending us this link:

Digital Grotesque . Printing Architecture from Digital Grotesque on Vimeo.
Digital Grotesque is the first fully immersive, solid, human-scale, enclosed structure that is entirely 3D printed out of sand. This structure, measuring 16 square meters, is materialized with details at the threshold of human perception. Every aspect of this architecture is composed by custom-designed algorithms.

Please visit www.digital-grotesque.com for a further description.


Architects:
Michael Hansmeyer
Benjamin Dillenburger

Partners and Sponsors:
• Chair for CAAD, Prof. Hovestadt, ETH Zurich
• Department of Architecture, ETH Zurich
• voxeljet AG
• FRAC Centre
• Strobel Quarzsand GmbH
• Pro Helvetia

Research for the Digital Grotesque project was carried out at the Chair for CAAD at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich. All components were printed by voxeljet AG. The first part of Digital Grotesque is a commission by FRAC Centre for its permanent collection.

Fabrication Team:

Digital dress for a strip teaser





At the Ace Hotel in New York to a crowd of uber-cool fashonistas and paparazzi we revealed the 3D printed gown designed by Michael Schmidt and Francis Bitonti modeled by queen of burlesque Dita Von Teese.

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.

George Hart

John Chalmers sends us this recommendation for the website of George Hart who uses rapid prototyping (RP) technology for a range of purposes, including art, math, and education.

http://www.georgehart.com/rp/rp.html

Rapid Prototyping or Solid Freeform Fabrication refers to a range of new technologies which construct physical three-dimensional objects by assembling thin layers of material under computer control. Objects can be made which are extremely accurate, complex, and beautiful, and which no other technology can produce.
