The rapidly evolving fields of personal fabrication, digital manufacturing and 3D printing are changing manufacturing and design – taking it from the factory floor to your work place or home. Desktop 3D printers, open source software and print-on-demand companies are offering artists and creative practitioners opportunities to not only prototype their creations but also to manufacture and sell their work on a scale to suit demand. As part of its ongoing research and development program, ANAT has acquired and assembled a flat-pack desktop 3D printer ” the MakerBot Thing-O-Matic “. ANAT’s Makerblog will document experiments with the Thing-O-Matic, provide information and links about 3D printing and other personal manufacturing techniques and discuss how these technologies are being harnessed by creative practitioners.
