in dust we trust http://www.industreal.it --- exhibition at the fabbrica del vapore - the designer creates a 3d file. then, when all the formal intents arrive to the desired shape, a simple click saves the algorithms of an object that already has the power to be made. a technician from one off checks if the file is mathematically sound by evaluating the coherency of all parameters, verifying that the virtual object is well constructed and then it begins. tenth after tenth the object grows, taking shape inside the dust that surrounds it. the matrix of all possible shapes is opened and here it is, between the dust, a thing appears like a well shaped heart. job done; ready for use. not just a prototype but a decisive object capable of being worth something and of giving value, a value of use, with a price. there’s a great advantage. the quantities do not need to be calculated a priori. this initiative is carried forward by 20 young designers and one off. 30 objects form a first collection of ‘products’. a view into the exhibition rapid prototyping objects on show rapid shapes a view on the exhibition 'antarctica' bowl by jim hannon tan the invitation flyer back to the main page ----------------------------------------------- --- ------- monthly designboom newsletter ------- ------- ? comments and contact us ? -------
