21 Examples of 3D Printing Art

From Clustered Geometric Sculptures to 3D Sand-Spraying Droids

— August 26, 2012 — Art & Design
The medium of 3D Printing Art has been explored by the design community extensively.

As seen in design bibles like Creative Applications, experimentation has resulted in a variety of installations, sculptures and intricate designs that involve the medium. For instance, the Stone Spray Robot as seen in the piece 3D Sand-Spraying Droids displays intricate sculptures created with granules of sand.

The stunning medium is a fantastic expression of space and sculpture with an emphasis on development of the 3D printing. The most cutting edge computer science has allowed this new medium to grow and develop so that the world of sculpturing has been entirely revolutionized. From Squared Geometry Contraptions to Suspended Paper Metropolises, this model medium will continue to push boundaries in the art world.
