Thesis

Mixed Dimensions

The incorporation of traditional artistic attributes within the 3D printing pen.

Overview

Three-dimensional printing has revolutionized artistic expression and manufacturing, but hand-held 3D printing tools have not allowed users the same level of creativity. This research explores how incorporating traditional art techniques like painting and sculpting, alongside pneumatic systems and digital fabrication, can enhance the expressiveness of 3D printing. The study shows that blending these methods with modern tools can foster greater creative freedom and diversity in both artistic and design processes.
