Innovation through information modeling is exciting. Being in the virtual world of 3D software presents the artist with endless possibilities where there are no material limitations. My 3D printing adventures have increased my creative vocabulary and inspired me to venture into 3D scanning and jewelry making.Įlvira Dayel – The experience of creating sculpture digitally is quite different from any physical interaction with the material. Darker areas are thicker in height and lighter areas are thinner to allow more light to pass through.
The software that generates the 3D model or height map calculates based on the gray scale values of the image. A lithophane is a picture that has been etched into a translucent material, but the image is only revealed when back-lit. Lithophanes were popular in the 1800's and have been revived by the 3D printing community. This type of 2D to 3D conversion is often referred to as “3D printed lithophanes”. Sandra Canning – I collaborated with a team of innovative engineers to 3D print 3D models I made of my photographs.
Also, as I have aged as an artist, and therefore have carpal tunnel and arthritis from repetitive tasks I can realize new visions, going forward, that require less handwork.
I am not interested in using 3D printing solely, but rather, to enhance and work alongside other materials and techniques - incorporating fiber skills and materials, resins, mixed media and more - into pieces that are a hybrid, melding high-brow and low-brow art. I have a passion to explore new tools, materials, and ideas, and manipulate them in ways they were not intended for. Leisa Rich – It is a logical progression for an experimental artist such as I to be 3D printing. Why do they use this technology? What does it add to the creative process, and the result? We asked several artists to share their concept and techniques. How Artists are Using 3D Printing by Carolyn EdlundĪrtists in a wide variety of mediums are embracing 3D printing and digital fabrication.
