Thanks for visiting us at Rapid Pro 2014
We have always believed (and still do) that people feel the need to express themselves, more than ever before, in a world where standardization seems to be the rule. Just returning from this year’s Rapid Pro, the annual 3D printing event in the Netherlands, it’s always great to see that people are looking for original ways to add personal touches to their lives, to differentiate themselves, and to make the world around them a little bit more their own.

Blueberries anyone?
Some people might eat them…some people might wear them! 3D printing offers an endless world of possibilities and fashion is definitely benefiting from it. At least that’s what jewelry maker Markéta Richterová and designer Zbynek Krulich thought while incorporating 3D printing in their artwork. They launched the Blueberries brand in 2012 and they have been producing exquisite jewels and accessories ever since.

And the Winner of the Slot Car Challenge is…
Brian Hamilton with ‘Arthropeda’ which is, according to the designer, primarily inspired by the morphology of the earliest known group of extinct arthropods that form the class Trilobita. Although the design of ‘Arthropoda’ is seemingly paradoxical, the concept of merging the physical structure of a prehistoric creature with the bold, aerodynamic styling of a modern-day supercar resulted in a form that appears evocatively symbiotic.

There’s no running away from Valentine’s Day
As fans of theoatmeal.com will probably know, the worst thing about Valentine’s Day is trying to ignore it. We wish we could do you the favor of not mentioning it, but on the other hand, we would not want you to miss out on Cody Reisdorf’s design either.

A New Dimension For Book Covers
Lien Dierckx recently graduated from Luca, School of Arts, campus Sint-Lucas Ghent with a collection of four books with 3D printed covers. And we found them so interesting we had to share them with you! The four books are a study about how modern artists get inspired by art history. Dierckx found contemporary artists are looking for a way to give old art a (sometimes literal) new dimension, and so she decided to visualise this idea with… Yes! 3D printed covers!
