Abstract

Rapid prototyping is a 3D printing technique where objects are 'printed' by extruding liquid material, adding one slice on top of another. The material then hardens, resulting in a solid 3D model.

The works in Made Known represent an international cross-section of artists who have embraced the potentials of 3D printing to create sculptural objects. Artists from Australasia, Europe and the US have been invited to send a piece of work via the Internet as a 3D digital file. These files will be printed as rapid prototype objects using the 3D printing facility in the School of Design at UTS.

In addition to 3D prints, animations using the same rapid prototype software will feature in the exhibition by artists including Hye Rim Lee, Marcus Williams and Susan Jowsey. [gallery media]
