This workweek , Gizmodo got a peek at some seriously awesome sculptures made all by 3D printer at the3D Printshow . The showing , host by Adobe and Shapeways , designate how you’re able to make sensational art with nothing more thanPhotoshop and a 3D printer . And possibly a whole tidy sum of endowment , but we ’re not sure where you may purchase that .

We chatted with two artist about their large - scale move sculptures , then took a walk around the art gallery to see the rest of the printed awesomeness . Here are our favorite .
Gilles Azzaroturned a 39 2d snipping of President Obama ’s 2013 State of the Union address — in which the President remark 3D impression — into a sci - fi forcible delegacy of sound . The 3D - printed waveform use height , depth , and width to represent the volume , sales pitch , and time , respectively , of the speech . activate by a gesture detector on the end of the instalment , a immature laser cut across the soundscape in perfect time with the audio track :
“ I puzzle out in the invisible , ” Gilles told me . “ I make invisible sound into something you could see and even bear on . ” The five - foot - longsighted waveform , printed in several department , gives ponderosity and mien to the momentaneous intangibility of the human phonation , the ridge texture and shiny black cloth reminiscent of a vinyl record .
Joshua Harker‘s kinetic sculpture , “ Monochromatic Radiance , ” build from about 2,000 part , turns the movement of a hand - spun flywheel into undulating sine wave that glow out along the 12 coils , a physical embodiment of the wave that make up both the 12 bill in a melodic scale and the 12 chromaticity on the color bicycle . The sick elaborate appliance took thousands of hours to create , printed in stage over a period of time of three or four months .
Joshua first used 3-D printing in an industrial setting , and the small mechanics of his machine , the tiny cogs and spindly pushrods , evoke the functional ravisher of a turning - of - the - one C manufactory .
Here are some of our other preferred highlight from the show . you may read more about their workhere .
