Featured Friday: showing your 3D printed designs
Keep calm and smile, it’s Friday! Our favorite day of the week because we get to show off your nice designs.
The Treaded Ring. Based on the tread of an on-road bicycle tire , with resemblance of a spine in a Gigeresque way, this ring was designed for the male hand. Whether worn casually or for that special occasion it will always look formidable. Made by Leo Rolph and printed in silver.

Meet the designer: Guido Mandorf
Step into the fantasy world of Guido Mandorf: a mini world full of scaled models.
Since it’s ‘prime gray month’ at i.materialise, Guido is the perfect designer to feature on the blog. For his models he 3D prints in this material and paints the models afterwards.
Can you tell us a bit more about yourself?
«I live with my family in Düsseldorf. After my studies- Mathematics and Informatics I started working for the university of applied science in Düsseldorf. Next to that I’m the head of an education center in Düsseldorf.»
When did you start being interested in scaled models?
«I started 3d modelling about 2 years ago. Before that I made scratchbuilt models and models made of brass.»
«I get the inspiration for my models from historic cars in Düsseldorf and around. But also from books and old pictures. »
«The community of model tram enthusiasts is not very large. Here in Germany many people know each other. Via Facebook I met people from other countries, who have the same

“I’m so sad it’s Friday. I wish it was Monday already!” Said No one in history ever. Time to enjoy some of this week’s featured printed items.
Gabe sculpted a ‘Genese Character’ in Mudbox and Softimage (both from Autodesk). The statue is about 8 inch tall, printed in polyamide and has an awesome spikey texture.
The Carapace ring from Noah Beasley is an alien ouroboros ring in gold plated polished brass.
Andreas Rittershofer from http://3ddecodetails.com designs great models to detail the roofs of your model railroad structures! Check out the amazing paint job he did on the cooling unit and air conduct in 1:160 (N-scale). Prime gray shows once more why it is an amazing material for all kinds of scale models.
And last but not least, hailing from Australia, we have the CXB sheep wagon from Marbelup Models. Not just the wagon was printed (prime gray), also the sheep load (alumide). Both the wagon and the sheep (90 of them) were painted to add a realistic te

Congratulations. You survived the work week! Let your weekend start properly with our Featured Friday! Check out the latest gallery entries.
Ari Pisilä 3D printed this brooch in brass gold plated and polished:
“I designed this funky fox for my mother in law since she is a big fan of foxes. This piece of art looks great and feels surprisingly heavy because it’s pretty thick. It has an integrated mechanism behind where a normal safety pin can be inserted.”
Raymond McConnell designed a Puma ring in unpolished stainless steel (old silver finish). This gives it a textured surface looking like fur. The USA ring size of 11 1/2 and a UK ring size of Y.
Our last design comes from Steve Koll. It’s a round cufflink with ginkgo leaf imprint on top. He 3D printed it in Titanium. Gorgeous!
Enjoy your weekend!

hoos created a diamond shaped high gloss silver pendant with a drawing of a meditator engraved: ” The diamond represents the Original Mind or True Self present in all human beings, which can be unveiled through the practice of meditation.”
Paul Sibson made a very fancy box for your playing cards! He 3D printed it in natural white polyamide.
Michael Mueller, a designer from Germany, designed a Rose Window Pendant in gold plated brass: “Rose windows are particularly characteristic for gothic architecture. Their origins are much earlier and they have been seen in various forms throughout the medieval period. Their popularity revived, with other medieval features, during the gothic revival of the 19th century.
Rose windows are like mandalas, with its circular form, the quaternity and the movement toward the center, a rose window is mystical in itself.”
Enjoy your weekend everyone and don’t forget to put y

Meet the designers: AmniosyA
AmniosyA, a design collective from Florence Italy made their first collection EntropyA. Read all about them.
Can you tell a little bit more about studio AmniosyA?
« AmniosyA is born as a research group focusing on architecture, design and fashion. The studio consists of five architects and one professor: Marco Carratelli, Lucia Lunghi, Elvira Perfetto, Lorenzo Pianigiani and Leonardo Pilati. The last is our indispensable mentor Marino Moretti who has joined and encouraged us and gave us his passion. »
SHAPE
« We all met at university where each of us had started a very similar research path. The place where our passion took its first steps were in the lectures of our professor who still follow us. After a couple of years we wanted to join forces and had to merge six different personalities. Amniosya was born in a small living room of about 15 square meters. Our interests focuses on the world of new technologies, and on the dynamic simulation used as incipit of morphological sha

There are so many new gallery entries that it was hard to choose just a few. Here are our picks:
Barney, a final year product design student from Brunel University in London, made an interesting project: “As part of a group project, we had to design products for an existing brand: we chose Moleskine. I ended up designing a conceptual handheld device for 3D artists allowing them to capture a digital library of textures and 3D objects on the go.”
“It was printed in stainless steel; I’m really pleased with the unique texture of the print.”
Dutch designer Maaike van der Horncreated this ‘Bracelet Constructionist Narrow’: “This is the narrow, more subtle version of the Constructionist bracelet. It was inspired by modern architecture and its use of complex repetitive geometrical structures. I am fascinated by how these structures can behave to create buildings and objects that look seemingly organic and unique, buildings that change their appearance depending on the angle you l

Happy Friday everyone! We’ve got so many great new entries in our gallery: here are the picks of this week!
David Zip made a scaled version of a Gas Plant: “This 1920’s Gas Plant was scanned with a Faro Focus3D laser scanner from 17 positions inside and outside the shed. That captured some of the structural elements and avoided holes in the mesh. The registered point cloud was converted to an STL mesh using the Thinkbox Frost in 3DS Max.”
David 3D printed his design in polyamide.
Will du Toit had fun making this robot -with too many guns. He 3D printed it on prime gray.
This Michael jackson statuette is designed by Anas rafiq: “This is him doing his famous and extravagant move that defies gravity; the lean of the smooth criminal.” It’s 3D printed in brass gold plated and polished.
Have a great weekend and don’t forget: we’ll be at Make Munich!
