[Ctrl][P] Objects on Demand

Overview

There are complicated ways to explain how 3D printing works. Imagine a ream of papers that you cut one by one. No wait, imagine a turkey baster full of glue. No, let's talk about additive manufacturing or melting stuff with lasers. But, honestly, this is a technology that's just going to do Star Trek things before too long. It’s just that the technology isn’t there yet. In the meantime, though, there are plenty of cool things 3D printers can do and Object is giving you a chance to check them out during [Ctrl][P] Objects on Demand.

During the show, Object will have nine 3D printers adorning its gallery space, with an exhibition, a talks program, the chance to print yourself out in a 3D photo booth and artists in residence explaining how 3D printers help them make their work work.

Program details will be up soon at the [Ctrl][P] website. Object is open Tuesday-Sunday, 10am-5pm. Image: Asiga, Image Courtesy of the Artist (COTA).
