Sounds into Ceramics: 3D Printer Uses Sonic Vibrations to Make Patterns in Clay

In a fantastic melding of art and audio visualization, two Dutch artists have created a 3D ceramics printer which translates sound and music into textures in clay vessels. In their “Solid Vibration” project, spatial sound designer Ricky van Broekhoven and designer Olivier van Herpt mounted a powerful speaker beneath a platform on which lines of clay are laid down by a ceramic print head. Different frequency notes translate into large and small wiggles in the lines of clay.


Creative studio prints mini metropolis with 3D printer by Roland DG

Belgian design studio Next Issue has printed an entire city in 3D using the Roland ARM-10 3D printer. The skyscrapers and modern architecture remind one of New York. The buildings have a maximum height of 6 cm and are extremely realistic representations of modern-day buildings. "It's fantastic to see how even the smallest design details are printed with such precision. It also offers a lot of satisfaction to be able to see one's creative fantasies become reality," says Maarten Bloemen, 3D designer.

Sagrada Familia: Magics Meets Modernism

The world-famous Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona has been using 3D Printing since 2001 to continue the work of the great designer Antoni Gaudí. This modernist architect was not able to finish the work during his life, so the Sagrada Familia consortium has to design much of the cathedral themselves. With the assistance of Materialise Magics software, Gaudí's glorious magnum opus is well on its way to completion.
