Designerhub The Machine discovers i.materialise
Last friday we were glad to finally meet the designers of The Machine, a designerhub created by i.materialise and Designplatform Limburg. For the first time they could see their 3D printed designs which they all developed for the exposition at C-Mine Genk under the theme ‘mining’.
An introduction about i.materialise.
We saw a lot of curious faces about the facilities we have at our disposal. To introduce everyone started off with an overview of i.materialse in the co-creation room.
POSSIBILITIES
The group couldn’t wait to see and touch all the materials. ‘Is that really possible?’and ‘It’s so wonderful’ were only some of the quotes we heared. Excited as they were, they were firing their questions at our support engineers to look into future possibilites for their designs.

TRAINS
3D printer in action.
The looks on their faces were amazing as we were passing by the different 3D printers and they could actually see objects being printed at the moment of speaking. The showroom gave them an idea about the endless creative possibilities we have in 3D printing: little trains, jewelry, lamps, shoes,…Anything is possible.
But eventually they came to see their own designs ofcourse and to take a glimpse at the others. We saw very interesting designs such as a binocular in which you can see the eyes of a miner, just to give one example.
Binocular through wich you can see miner's eyes.
'Beauty is skin deep'.
Nothing but good words for each other though, we’re sure we will hear more about these people in the future.
