Creative Potentials

          There're many creative potentials for 3D modeling/ printing. Examples range from art objects, industrial design, fashion, medical cloning, food, furniture to house. There're also more artworks displayed in museums and galleries that showcase 3D printed models, objects and installations. Small design objects or large scale models are both possible as art curriculum or work for display. A relief may also be an option, like the stone carvings of a church. I can imagine Gaudi's architecture being printed to reflect baroque yet modern design. Other potentials include producing something that transforms the object into something that looks soft, perhaps use soft materials to print out fabric, or create strange, interesting textures. Since 3D printing has been around for around thirty years now and it's becoming more affordable to the general public, it is also important to think about the practical, everyday potentials: 

No. 1/ Traveling and Camping: transportation, rail tracks, 3D printer in a car, the train, airplanes for people who travel or camp. Can print out tents, houses, kitchen utensil, toilets.

No. 2/ Medical: print out babies in a womb to investigate growth. Print out not only organs but broken tissues, for unhealthy or burnt skin conditions.

No. 3/ Military: print out weapon, military airplanes to deduct cost.

No. 4/ Home: furnitures, bedding, T.V., computer, container, objects, bathroom tubs, sink etc.

No. 5/ Nature: flowers, plants, trees, garden, forest, a planet?

No. 6/ Anything and Everything: Print anything one can think of!
