New Craft

This series of 3D printed artefacts has been developed within the project entitled "Hand-crafting Through Digital Means" which began over my design residency at Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver, Canada. The project aims to illuminate ways in which craft making and hand-knotted objects can be translated using 3D modeling technology.

The transformation of the analogue into the digital has explored 3D printing on a range of technologies and scales, including thermoset and thermoplastic material production systems like the Stratasys Objet30, a large format Stratasys F370 and a desktop Tinkerine DittoPro 3D printer using filament and composite material, such as wood composite, copper composite and biodegradable thermoplastic. It has also explored on a Zcorp 310+ binder deposition powder printer using custom in-house powder and unique binder recipes.

The series was exhibited during the New Craft Syposium in November 2017 at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, Vancouver, Canada
