You have the chance to see some of the most compelling creations from the past decade ranging from sculpture and furniture to fashion and transport – many of which were produced through 3D Printing at Materialise. Furthermore, on the occasion of Materialise’s inclusion in the exhibition and in recognition of the company’s commitment to technological innovation in 3D printing, Materialise and its CEO Fried Vancraen will be among those honored with a Visionaries!

IMPOSSIBLE
Through Out of Hand, MAD aims to explore a monumental transition in the way human beings understand creation, from the earliest objects conceived and produced by individual makers through the tools of technological innovation. Today’s digital fabrication methods, such as 3D printing, give individual artists, architects, and designers the ability to go beyond the traditional boundaries of production, often resulting in objects that may otherwise be impossible to realize.
