3D printing could arguably be one of the most influential inventions of the 21st century. It has enabled individuals to create a wide range of products in a number of different industries. From furniture to healthcare to apparel/accessories, it has allowed numerous products to be made that were thought to otherwise be unattainable and available to the masses.
Although many are aware of 3D printing, they may not understand the full advantages that it can have and how exactly it works. The Design Exchange, which is known for its amazing exhibits, is educating the public on this medium through its latest exhibit, 3DXL: A Large Scale 3D Printing Exhibition.
3DXL is the Design Exchange’s first offsite exhibit, and it is definitely not one to miss. Co-presented by The Great Gulf, and The Printing House, the exhibit is taking place in Toronto at The Great Gulf, located at the corner of King Street and Blue Jays Way. The exhibit, curated by Sara Nickleson, DX Curator and Director of Collections, allows visitors to fully experience all aspects of 3D printing, including work by world-renowned professionals.
On display is the “3D Print Canal House” by Amsterdam based architects DUS, as well as the “Arabesque Wall” by Swiss Architects Michael Hansmeyer and Benjamin Dillenburger. This amazing exhibit is also showcasing the world’s first ever 3D printed pavilion made entirely from sea salt. If you’re still looking for more, Toronto-based Denegri Bessai Studio is using 3D printing to showcase their Mangrove Structure.
Why is this 3D Printing Exhibit So Important?
Not only is this exhibit showcasing the amazing work 3D printing can accomplish, but it is also teaching visitors about the usability surrounding the medium through a number of interactive workshops. There are also a number of events featuring industrial professionals discussing its utility and many advantages more in-depth. What is more impressive is that the 3DXL is offering camp sessions for individuals interested in learning more about the subject.
