Filament Sculptures by Lia – 3D printing by printhead movement

Category Members Processing People Posted on:

For about a year now generative artist Lia has been exploring 3d printing by analysing filament and the movements of the printhead. Rather than just having 3d models printed out, Lia has been interested in the possibilities of the process by defining the location of the printhead, the speed of the movement and the amount of filament that should be extruded.

She wrote a short Processing application to directly output gCode where you just define the above mentioned. The first tests were mainly about how much filament should be extruded to create a line and how she can produce a “dot” on the bed of the printer. The first tests involved printing out all the test-code on sheets of paper and taped her 3d printed results next to it so that she would get an overview what would work and what not.

Neo-Natur – A space for thought, about and for Nature / ART+COM

Designed and constructed by ART+COM Studios in collaboration with Futurium and Schiel Projekt, ‘Neo-Natur’ is a permanent installation for Berlin’s Futurium exhibition that explores our potential futures from different areas of life––from self-sufficient cities, to the future of work and ideas for more sustainable consumption.

Roger Water – Parametrically generated, animated and populated A/V experience

Created for and in collaboration with an electronic music band Niagra, Roger Water is a web based interactive 360 VR and live A/V experience by Stefano Maccarelli. The project is an a endless immersive exploration of a generative, infinite open world, set in a surreal Earth-like world, of a parallel universe connected to ours, populated by objects from modern terrestrial civilisation and terrestrial creatures that behave in unusual ways.
