3D Printing

The Birmingham office paid a visit to Black Country Atelier to check out their modelling studios. They have extruded plastic 3d printers and laser cutters.

My first print was a lofted surface (forming the initials MD!) modelled in Rhino. Total time from modelling to finished produce was approximately 30 minutes.

The plastic is tough and comes in any colour/translucency. We'll be looking at using the laser cutter for a modelling exercise soon. It's a great resource to have on our doorstep!
