A pendant for metal printing.  I have trouble believing that these are photos and not renders...something about this object feels very unlikely.

An espresso cup specially designed with fins, to ensure the successful deployment of your rocket fuel. All systems are go! Paraboloid bowl holds approximately 1.5 fl oz. or 45 mL. (Note that I previously claimed the cup held 60 mL. While my 3D modelling software still reports that as the internal volume, some combination of the printing process and glazing is robbing me of internal volume. Contact me if you'd be interested in a larger, more expensive 60 mL cup.)

After receiving feedback from Shapeways, I've created a slightly revised model for the cup. I'm told that this model will be easier to print and glaze, leading to a more reliable product. The changes are minor -- it's a little wider, a little heavier, and has more rounding on edges that were previously sharp (a 3D rendering shows the differences above).

Update (April 13th, 2013): The cup has had a great run on Shapeways, and I deeply appreciate the attention and positive feedback it has received. The bad news is that I've got to stop offering it for sale here. The good news is that the cup is now available commercially! It's being manufactured by Fred and Friends, sold under the name "Blast Off! Espresso Cup Set". It's already available for purchase online (perpetualkid.com, thinkgeek.com), and I'm sure you'll be able to find it in your favourite housewares store soon.

No1 in the series of animal heads, a smaller version of the 570mm high Stag Head  (which is not available on Shapeways)

There is also a 75mm version here  and a 300mm version here 

3 Stag Head Sizes

The Animal Head Collection.

3D Printed Animal Heads



No 2 is a Zebra. 

No 3 is a Rhino. A large Rhino  is also available.



No 4 is a Tiger. 

Tiger Head 2. 

No 5 is an Elephant. 

I'm experimenting with telling a story using minimal material to save on printing cost while inspiring the imagination.

Please send your pictures and share your thoughts on the design.

Inspired by the complex forms of radiolarians, where intricate pattern is integral to structure, these shapes derive from a simulation of spring meshes. We created interactive software to morph, twist, and subdivide each design, transforming a simple mesh to a complex patterned structure. Made to order in your size.

This quirky design by Seedling is inspired by cave stalagmites. The artist imagined what a stalagmite might look like if the mineral layer deposits were made of wildly different colors. The result is this 3D printed sculpture in all it’s psychedelic rainbow brilliance! Printed in a fused gypsum powder, the piece is hollow and has a very cool visual effect when viewed from below. It makes for a beautiful work of art in modern interiors.

Pendant shaped like Australia including terrain data. Sized approximately 3.5cm by 3.5cm with a hook on the back to attach to necklaces. Select stainless steel, gold or bronze.

A silver version of the Australia pendant is also available as a separate product optimized for the silver production method. You can find it (and jewelry for all other countries of the world) on our website www.printablegeography.com.

The GeoBling series of jewelry started in 2011 by the Society for Printable Geography uses data from NASA's Shuttle Radar Topography mission to create artifacts resembling the countries of the world with realistic terrain information. Our complex algorithms created by computational geometry and geodata experts can create a custom piece of jewelry for almost any country in the world within seconds.

The thickness of this pendant is between 3mm (where the country is low) and 6mm (the highest peaks). A solid closed hook (no moving parts) on the rear allows attaching this pendant to a necklace. The necklace must fit through a hole sized 4mm by 3mm. Please contact us if you are interested in a different size, different material, a country not currently available on Shapeways or with specific requests for dimensions.

The data used to generate this item is the “Hole-filled seamless SRTM data V4” provided by the International Centre for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT). This data is available publicly at srtm.csi.cgiar.org. The Society for Printable Geography is not afiliated with CIAT in any way.
