Back to the future: up and running
Busy holiday season provides ample opportunity for people to check out artist Kevin Caron’s new deconstructed “cubist” 3D-printed sculpture ….
Read MoreBeautiful variations in 3D printing breakthrough
Now that I’ve stumbled into this amazing new look with 3D printing I’m playing with the nuances. Some I can control – the color and type of filament (type only if I’m printing on my Cerberus 3D 400 – it can handle a lot of different types because of its ability to print at a […]

Read MoreFascinating finishes – 3D printed surface a blank slate
I love the strong colors 3D-printed filament creates. I really geek out on the translucents, of course – check out my 3D-printed sculptures to see how many times I’ve used translucent yellow, red, blue and purple filament because I love how they interact with light. Yet I’m not afraid to cover the surface of a […]
Read MoreMetal filler works wonders with ABS filament
Since I moved my 3D Systems CubeX 3D printer down to the studio, I’ve been able to play with it while I’m in the office cooling down – Arizona summers are really brutal when you work with fire and wear heavy protective gear. The CubeX gives me another way to play that keeps me under […]
Read MoreA tale of two 3D-printed sculptures
I’ve written before about how I never create exact multiples of designs, 3D printed or otherwise. It’s possible, it’s just my philosophy to always create unique artworks. That being said, I do enjoy creating variations of sculptures – something I also do with my metal works – which is how series develop. (If you go […]
Read MoreA rainbow of colors comes to 3D printing filament
I originally began working in wood (OK, in cars, if you want to go back further). I didn’t do anything professionally with it, but I built some furniture. Then I turned to metal, which has been the bulk of my practice since I began selling my artwork in the early 2000s. About 4 or so […]
Read MoreCombining 3D printing filaments
The more I work with 3D printing (and, well, anything I do), the more questions bubble to the surface …. Can I make the material do this? What if I do that? Do I really need to …. A lot of times, things work out. For instance, I did a couple of […]
Read More3D-printed sculpture storms Tucson
OK, maybe I went a little overboard in the headline, but I’m still really jazzed at the reception of my 3D-printed sculpture at the recent Sculpture Tucson show in, yes, Tucson, Arizona (is there another Tucson? Hmmm, I’ll have to look that up ….) The turnout at the show was incredible. Preliminary estimates say that […]
Read MoreGetting it together: connecting 3D prints
Even though I have an 8-foot-tall 3D printer that will print up to 4 feet tall, there are times I’d like to make something bigger. I have done that, as evidenced in the 5-1/2 foot tall sculpture Epic Swoon (below), which was commissioned by PriceCooperswaterhouse in Columbus, Ohio. That sculpture, the tallest 3D-printed piece I’ve […]
Read MoreAlien forces invade 3D print
Crazy things happen with 3D printing, especially with my 8-foot-tall Cerberus 3D Gigante 3D printer. As Steve Graber, who built this monster, has said, whatever this printer does, it does spectacularly. That definitely includes surprises like the “slubs” on my sculpture Love and Marriage, which are explainable, and recent moments like the time the print […]
