The technology has fantastic applications, allowing artists to create incredibly complex masterpieces working with a variety of mediums including stone, ceramic, plastic, and more. And, once the design is finalized, it’s easy to simply print off as many copies as you need.
While the work is in progress, 3D printing gives artists more flexibility. It’s a lot more work to change up a mold than it is to alter a 3D file. And if the artist isn’t satisfied with the changes, they can simply go back to the way it was or try something new.
The future of 3D printing
The future holds a lot of promise for this still-new art medium. As technology develops, artists will have more and more freedom to explore new concept, ideas, and reach a whole new level of intricacy with their masterpieces.
There are some views from comic artist about 3d printing
1. Tomoko Nagao
Tomoko Nagao is a Japanese artist who reinterprets Renaissance masterpieces. In 2017, she strayed from her traditional oil and stencils on walls and canvases and traveled further back in time to create two micro-pop sculptures with a large 3D printer. Her Salome exhibit, 3D printed by Sisma Italia, put a funny spin on a biblical story and bridged an ancient event with modern technology.
2. Neri Oxman
Neri Oxman is an architect, designer, internationally recognized artist, and professor at the MIT Media Lab. This PhD aims to push the limits of additive manufacturing using new materials like concrete and glass, and in fact even develops the machines to print them. Besides fashion wear and architecture, Neri uses 3D printing to create art.
3. Batsheba Grossman
Batsheba Grossman uses her mathematics background to create cool works of metal art. 3D printing allows her to produce the shapes she envisions, a feat impossible to achieve without the technology. Batsheba said, “If you show these to somebody who works in metal, they fall on the floor.”
4. Ona Sadkowsky
Contemporary urban artist, Ona Sadkowsky, likes to be creative in a more “naughty” way. Putting her pastel paints to the side, Ona sketched a provocative 3-dimensional piece for an annual art fair. She sent the sketch to Dekom 3D Plus in her hometown of Zurich where the Dekom team turned her sketch into a computer-generated 3-dimensional model. Then they printed it on their Massivit 1800 3D printer. The final product was an eye-catching character that was popular at the fair, drawing lots of attendees to take photos with it.
Do you consider 3D printing a formal art tool, or even a medium in its own right? We want to know in the comment section.
