Wouldn’t you like to see that headline in your newspaper or favorite news Website? It’d be at the top of mine, because that’s just what happened recently with my 8-foot-tall Cerberus 3D Gigante 3D printer. The Gigante is 5 years old now, which is like 50 in 3D printing years, especially with the rapid changes in […]

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 […]

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 […]
