Visit of the exhibition “Out of hand/Hands on” in Museum of Art and Design in New York City was a lot fun!

Out of Hand: Materializing the Postdigital at the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) is the first in-depth museum survey dedicated to exploring the impact of computer-assisted methods of production on contemporary art, architecture, and design. “Shapeways” is partnering with MAD for the exhibition and host “Out of hand/Hands on,” an educational and interactive space where visitors were be able to experience 3D design and printing firsthand.

It was awesome playing with 3D printed objects and see a huge variety of materials that can be used for 3D printing:

The “Out of hand/Hands on” space included a series of interactive 3D apps for visitors to create their own 3D models, on site 3D scanning, and 3D printing in a range of materials. Shapeways’ ‘Designers in Residence’ working in the gallery were demonstrating 3D modeling techniques and tools used to create objects like those in the exhibition.

I have myself 3D scanned at “Out of hand/Hands on” exhibition to have a miniature figurine printed. It can be printed at 10cm high in Full Color, Nylon or Stainless Steel, or 5cm high in Bronze, Sterling Silver, Brass or Gold Plated Brass by “Shapeways” for the price from $30 to $150.
