Elastic Fabric

Strange things continue to appear at the Design and the Elastic Mind exhibit in New York City. This time someone has posted pictures of textiles apparently made on a 3D printer. Unfortunately, the image comes with few (well, no) details, so we can only speculate how this was done. Perhaps using a unique type of flexible print media? We'd head down to MOMA ourselves to take a look, but, um, New York City isn't exactly nearby our offices. Are there any MOMA visitors who can shed light on this unusual item?

Make Your Own Watch!

Frederic Hakoune uses 3D printing technology to produce his own watch - and it works. Well, he didn't print the clockwork mechanism itself, but the housing certainly looks good. Frederic posts pictures of the entire process, from design blueprints, the actual printing operation and of course assembly.
