Removing the CAD barrier to 3D printing! for jewellery students. Last Monday was exciting and fun as we showed that Anarkik 3D Design can remove that CAD barrier! 6 jewellers with little expertise in 3D digital modelling, on this 1 day, each created a model for 3D printing for an exhibition.
Anarkik3D’s 3D Consequences Project exhibited at StudioFusion Gallery in their ‘Wear IT’ exhibition in London’s OXO Tower, on until 7th June: 3D printed jewellery and Anarkik3D’s ‘3D Consequences’ project.
NEW: half day taster classes to try Anarkik 3D Design haptic 3D modelling package.
Also special offer: places for 4 people for the price of 3 on group bookings for all our main courses.
This book showcases ground-breaking methods and techniques that have been adapted from industry and are now being applied by designer-makers. To the uninitiated, these technologies may seem complex, but this book explains simply and clearly how they have developed, how they work, and their application. Packed full with case studies of artists using these processes, this book demonstrates that outstanding work is possible with the right equipment and know-how, and argues that designer makers have the mindset, skills and knowledge to creatively engage with these industrial technologies.

11 month’s ago I headlined a post on my own blog titled “Is a designer ‘cheating’ if they use 3D modelling packages that are incredibly ‘easy to learn and use’?” http://annmarieshillito.wordpress.com/2011/05/16/cloud9-cheating/ The following quote from Nick Grace who runs RapidForm at the Royal College of Art in London is pertinent to my blog point about complexity of process excluding many talented and creative people from using digital tools such as 3D modelling and 3D printing as they do not have the time and resources to begin to learn software of any sort with steep learning curves. Any tool that aids their practice is fair gameRead More →
