Pepa Ivanova printed a thin skin / landscape like membrane in UV-sensitive material.
Where she is shining UV light on the object, it quickly turns a bright pink. For a picture of the print in bright sunlight, check Instragram #formlab_ghent

Looking into RoboDK to create a 3D printing toolhead for our robot arm.
RoboDK is a development kit that will read a Gcode file from a slicer and create a motion path for the robot arm. The motion path will be created in such a way that it avoids singularities and self collisions.

Thanks to Edwin Carels, the Fallen astronaut by Paul Van Hoeydonck decided to carefully study the Formlab made moon regolith at the International Film Festival in Rotterdam.

Jerry stole some calibration-prints from Formlab. He showed them to his AI script and asked it to write a description of it. Read the results on his webpage:

Janne Claes started her first experiments making her objects edible. This print in marzipan failed, giving the object a textile-like appearance.

Régis Dragonetti schreef een mooie introductietekst over het Formlab. Het verscheen in de publicatie 'Onrust', maar is ondertussen ook online te lezen.

After some confusion displaying its title, a terraformed comet gradually approaches in 3d space.  The terraformed stone’s trajectory is narrated by computer generated text talking about its imaging and resulting ownership. The approaching shape is a result of a 23 minute mashed up Nasa download. The downloaded files were converted into one 3d printable object with gravity aids, thrown back into space.

The vacuum form machine and the robot arm arrived just in time for the new school year!

The second print of Ives worked out perfectly

Anouk De Clercq designed a sleeve that would both house the book 'Thing' and the USB stick containing the video.

A failed print from Ives Maes looks quite mysterious!

Experimental #3D Lab / JODI
more concept, less technology
=============================
#to print or not to print:
is scanning the new photography? is scanning a performance?
is scanning just functional and makes 3d modelling obsolete?
is scanning a transition between digital and real ?
is selfie scanning cool? what is meta scanning?
is scanning a tool for 2d, 3d or 4d representation?
is scanning resolution important? is scanning dangerous?
is it important for a scanner to be mobile? is a scan a 3d copy?
is scanning just a fad gadget? is scanning a mechanical activity?
do you need a license to use a scanner? who cares about scanners?
is scanning the new realist sculpting? is scanners a movie?
is the result of a scan an image or code?
can we scan shit? can we print with shit?
does scanning convert reality into digital reality?
is a scanned object a 3d copy?
is a 3dprint a copy from a digital model ?
is a 3dprint an object or code ?
is a 3dprint object an infinite 3d copy ?
is 3d print a conversion of digital into reality ?
is 3dprinting a small plastic sculpture ?
is 3dprinting a performance ?
is 3dprinting just functional ?
is 3dprinting a home revolution ?
is 3dprinting a popular trend ?
is 3dprinting a good investment ?

#Experimental 3d printing and 3d scanning workshop organized by formLab and Mediakunst. The focus is on making art and not so much on the technical aspects of this fairly new technology. The workshop will take place in the first semester of 2016 (23/01 until approximately beginning of March) at the Mediakunst studio's. More details will follow.

#Attention there is only room for a maximum of 10 students.

JODI (BE/NL) is an internationally acclaimed duo of net art pioneers. They create works in which they combine online and plastic interventions, using both internet vulnerabilities and the content of online social platforms. http://wwwwwwww.jodi.org/

New Species, by Elisa d'Urbano

New Species is a series of sculptures showing two different growing stages of a hypothetic organism. The contrast between the organic shape, the structure inspired by the natural behavior of plants or simpler organisms, and the artificial material (PET), reflects the human desire to create alternative forms of life with technology. A liquid inside the sculptures gives them the vivid color.

De EMO-25 printkop heeft een klein testje in plasticine afgewerkt. De naden zijn nog ruw, maar de rest is behoorlijk glad.
