Green2, a polish design magazine with a focus on sustainability, published Michal’s article on SmartGeometry 2010. This year’s SmartGeometry workshops took place at Iaac in Barcelona – a post-industrial setting likely to influence the title of the event. It was called “Working Prototypes”. Over four days more than a hundred participants worked in ten distinctive [...]

Open Generative Design
Open Generative Design is an initiative started by dr. Sivam Krish. The aim is to develop platform independent algorithms which can be used to browse through solution spaces of various parametric definitions. The algorithms will be written in Excel and special add-on will be developed for each parametric modeling package. The ones for Solidworks and [...]

Above are a couple of pictures showing manufacturing process of Evolve Ring Silver, commissioned and distributed by Fluid Forms and co-designed with Krystian Kwiecinski. The manufacturing process begins with a wax 3d print of a positive form. Then a rubber mold is created with the use of the print and once it is ready the [...]

Major media increasingly notice the possible change, which 3d printing might bring when it will be developed into an affordable technology capable of working with multiple materials. “A factory on your desk” is an article on Economist.com, which not only introduces the major players in the game, such as Z-Corp, but also gives a hint [...]

Ars Electronica 2009
Krystian Kwiecinski and Michal Piasecki just came back from Linz, where we took part in creative coding and digital fabrication workshop organized by Fluid Forms. For a couple of days a group of computational designers was able to use a Dimension 3d printer and a laser cutter, which are part of the Fab Lab facility [...]

Hannes Walter and Stephen Williams from Fluid Forms are going to run a Creative Coding workshop during the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz. It will start this Friday (4th of September) and last till Tuesday 8th. An excerpt from the description of the workshop is below: “Personalised products resulting from the marriage of geometry, code and data are [...]

Some time ago a discussion emerged in the blogosphere about the question whether 3d printing will make it to the mainstream (take a look at my post about this debate). Today 3d printers seem to be increasingly taken for granted and rightly so, especially if one looks at the scope of the products currently made [...]
