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 MoreCerberus 3D 400 3D printer opens a world of filament
When my first 3D printer, a 3D Systems CubeX, apparently died (more on that in a moment), I lost the ability to work in anything but PLA filament. That mattered to me, because I have one design in particular that seems to prefer ABS. I had tried repeatedly to fix the CubeX, ordering and […]
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 MoreThe greatest weapon in the 3D-printed gun debate is FEAR
Any time I show my 3D-printed sculptures or jewelry or have a 3D printer running at an event, I inevitably get asked about 3D-printed guns. It’s exasperating, because the fear of these guns – which is currently unfounded – taints 3D printing. This topic has come up before, but it’s back in the news as […]
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 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 […]
