Collection of 3D printed objects at Glasgow MAKLAB
Only some of these are 3D printed objects. The others have been fabricated in other computer-assisted ways.
Seen at Scotland's Public Digital Fabrication Studio at The Lighthouse in Glasgow. There was also an exhibition in the Lighthouse of work by Glasgow Art College students. It was clear that there were good links between the Art College and the MAKLAB. Excellent! Yet another reason to go to Glasgow Art College :-)
Three dimensional printing is a simple extension of computer printing from the two dimensional world of ink on paper to the three dimensional world of shaped things. That "simple" by the way is the technical mathematical sense of of "simple", not to be confused with the everyday meaning of "simple".

When I was a kid all we had was Meccano and trainsets. Today's toys are amazing!
Shame about today's school teachers, who have been resolutely dumbing down computers in schools until the most exciting and revolutionary technology of this and the previous century has become a vehicle for teaching bored teenage prisoners how to use Microsoft Office.

[I was doing handheld snaps by the available dim light. I see some silly software has simplified the EXIF data, so all I can say is that this was a very noisy high ISO shot which took a fair bit of processing to clean up. Good noise cleaners are very much better than average ones. I used Neat Image.]
