Enrico Dini: Large Scale (6m x 6m x 1m) 3D Printing

May 7th, 2009 No Comments

Rapid Prototyping and Mathematical Art

May 7th, 2009 No Comments

Talk given to the University of Waterloo Computer Science Club by Craig S. Kaplan — video and slides. “Quick tour of technologies, techniques and applications for computer-aided manufacturing in 2D and 3D”. Lot’s of good pictures of prominent artists in the area, examples of both additive and subtractive processes.
