We’ve got a 3D Mixed Media artist on the show today that we are interviewing named, Leisa Rich. We have featured her before in a past episode. The way we found her was just through our research for interesting 3D printed objects out there or 3D printing artists. Hers was art. She had some installations and was using 3D printing in really interesting ways. She caught our eye because her art is very textile. It has a lot of textile art background. That’s where she started. You can see that … [Read more...]
3D Printed Molds, with Graham Bredemeyer of Collider
This is Tom and Tracy on the WTFFF 3D Printing podcast. We’ve got an interview today with the CEO of Collider, which is a company we’ve talked about briefly in our episode about the Inside 3D Printing show in San Diego. They were one of our favorite companies that we met on the show floor there. Just a really cool machine, and what their vision is and where they come from. We were just fascinated by the whole team there. We really were. There’s a lot to talk about. This is a really good … [Read more...]
End User 3D Printing
Today we are bringing you a follow-up interview that was mentioned in our episode with Brandon Davis where we talked about his mission with the new Blue Dragon and end user 3D printing, of FFF 3D printing. I think this is really interesting that we’re focusing on people who are really choosing FFF printers for end use production. This has happened multiple times now. I really liked doing that because I think that 3D printing, the obvious use of it has been prototyping, rapid prototyping. … [Read more...]
Applied 3D Printing, with Brandon Davis
Today, we’re going to talk about what I think is the mantra so far for the year, applied 3D printing, applications of 3D printing, applied technology. I feel like we’re at that stage in 3D printing where that has to be happening. The use studies, cases that are working. We’re shifting out of it being theoretical into being applied. I think especially with what we saw at CES this year with Titan Robotics. To me, what they have been researching and doing with Autodesk over the last year or so with … [Read more...]
Scan The World Initiative, with Jonathan Beck
Today, we're going to take a deeper dive into scanning, and in particular 3D scanning art, and on an initiative that is really trying to scan the whole world in reality. It's pretty ambitious. We've got Jon Beck on the show. He's Project Manager at MyMiniFactory for the Scan The World project. It is very cool. It is the idea that they're going to scan sculptures around the world in hopes of 3D print art preservation and 3D scanned art preservation of course. Also, to really make these 3D scans … [Read more...]
Art And Culture Through The 3D Looking Glass With Bridgette Mongeon
Tom and Tracy Hazzard chats with Bridgette Mongeon – sculptor, artist, and author - who shares with us what motivated her to go beyond traditional sculpting techniques. She talks about how 3D printing plays a role in her fine art process by helping her sell clients on new projects and making her more productive. Through her book called 3D Technology In Fine Art And Craft, she explains the flexibility of 3D printing, what and how to use different mediums for creating memorable art … [Read more...]
