Augmenting Reality - 3d Printing meets Sculpture

A sandstone block built from lego, blending real objects with 3d prints from Greg Petchkovsky on Vimeo.

I'm a huge fan of the Fablab concept and have done a few projects with the Manchester lab - personally and as part of festivals and large events.  The potential of the equipment they have there for prototyping and realising design and artistic projects is huge, so I'm always on the lookout for ideas to test out with their kit.

With the whole culture around the labs being one of open-source and peer learning there's loads of stuff out there to get your hand dirty with trying things out for yourself but this work from Greg Petchkovsky pushes it to the next level. Takes a load of skill in 3d software by the looks of it but makes me think this could be a technique that takes work in the style of the Boyle Family's earth pieces out of the gallery and back into the real world.

Time to go and play...
