Dezeen and Blurb launch magazine Print Shift
Dezeen launches Print Shift, a print-on-demand magazine about 3D printing produced in collaboration with cutting-edge publisher Blurb.
3D Printing is changing the lives of many people. For this reason Dezeen just launched a magazine to cover different aspects of the 3D printing world such as fashion, design, architecture and the medical industry. The Magazine features interviews with the key pioneers driving this strategic shift, including fashion designer Iris van Herpen and Belgium-based Materialise.
Our director, Miranda Bastijns, will be speaking at the press conference today to give everyone a heads up about 3D printing.
Print Shift is the result of extensive research into the 3D printing technology. Dezeen has spoken to architects, designers, scientists and researchers around the world, travelled across Europe and visited some of the leading studios and factories -such as Materialise– at the cutting edge of a technological revolution.

IMAGINE
Wasn’t it lovely to see the first flexible 3D printed dress on a model? Designers and engineers have been challenging Materialise to come up with a flexible 3D Printing material that is durable enough to withstand the wear and tear of an end-use product, and TPU is their response. Materialise launched it ten days ago and now i.materialise is doing research and tests to provide you with this material as well. The official name of the material is TPU 92A-1.
Just imagine what you can do with it: use it for functional parts, objects that need shock absorption, fashionable items,…
