Sweet Animation of the Past, Present and Future of Manufacturing with 3D Printing

Comments 7

If you ever wanted to find a way to describe to your grandparents (or parents (or partner)) exactly what the future of manufacturing with 3D printing could mean, then this is it.  Humanizing the technology and it's possibilities this animation directed by Carles Mora y Mariona Omedes of nueveojos for DHub Barcelona is short, sweet and memorable.

This is a brilliant animatioN!!! I love it, and it explains everything without much fuss.

And prior to stumbling across this website, I'd forever thought that cups, mugs and whatever were always made via sculpting techniques or those utilising pre-made moulds.

Thumbs up!
