So if you know me then you know I love the idea of 3D printing, I have no idea what I’d go about printing, but I want it... lots of it. There’s a lot of really practical uses for 3D printing, cheap prototyping, easy replacement of parts, quick fixes, and creative hobby projects. However I don’t want to talk about any of the industrial or hobbyist uses, I want to talk about 3D printing as the product, and as a method of distribution.
This weekend I came across the artwork of a guy called Tomoo Yamaji, whose work consists of statuettes of characters from Buddhist mythology, with a modern twist. These characters are 3D printed, and then hand-painted to create one off statuettes that he sells on his website. If you want to see more of his work, you can head over to his Youtube page and show him some love. (don’t forget to subscribe to ours while you’re over there wink wink)
