3D printing meets Vintage
3D printing is starting a new industrial revolution. But does that mean we have to throw away all the rest? Not at all. Quentin de Coster, a Design student from Brussels, created a wonderful design by making a perfect blend between 3D printing and vintage.
Every year the Belgian non-profit organisation Petits Riens/Spullenhulp organizes a massive fashion and design show. Big Belgian names like Delvaux, (Edouard Vermeulen) Natan, Dirk Wynants, Elvis Pompilio and a bunch of young Belgian talents are challenged to design new creations out of recycled materials and clothes. After the show people can bid for two hours on the items while they are being displayed on big screens.
Quentin de Coster was one of the designers and started thinking how to reuse objects with new techniques. He used 3D printing to design special handle for an umbrella. de Coster: “I designed the umbrella Branch as an open invitation to share it with other people. When you’re walking in the rain with a friend
Featured Friday: Showing your 3D printed designs
Happy friday everyone! We hope you had a nice week, we certainly did. To end the week in beauty: check out the newest designs in our gallery.
Michael Mueller is the designer of the first piece we want to show you: the Fox Whistle. In many folklore cultures, the fox appears as a symbol of deceptiveness and trickery. Like ‘Reynard the Fox’, a medieval charismatic character that’s always in trouble, but the good thing is: he is always able to talk his way out of any retribution. Mueller designed this whistle to be reminded about that deceptiveness. The design is printed in gold plated brass and can be used as a pendant.
Next design we’d like to show you is from Ras Leaudevie, a Belgian designer. This silver jewel is finished with high gloss, one of our four finishes. It’s a cosmological symbol filled with geometrical figures and shows how the stars and planets behave.
Last, but not least: the nicely designed Galaxy Samsung S3 Voronoi cover. 3D Materialize Ltd designed the ca
Tired of boring birth cards? Use 3D printing!
Roman Plaghki, a product developer at Materialise, had one hell of an idea to surprise his sister with the most original birthcards ever: a card with the face of her baby in 3D.
What do you do when your pregnant sister asks you to design a birthcard for her future baby? Roman Plaghki wanted to use all his skills so started thinking about combining 3D printing with regular printing. “After some hard thinking work I finally came up with an idea. I asked my sister to send me an ultrasound where you could see the face of the baby when it was 5 to 6 months old. I uploaded the design up in Mimics and after some designing I finally got the face right to send it to the printer.”
OVEN
He printed 5 faces in polyamide to use it as a mold for his birth cards. “I put the faces under a thin sheet of polystyrene in the (kitchen) oven and used the technique of vacuum forming to create the 3D design. After hours of work I finally got 120 faces for the birth cards.”
We must say: it looks gr
