WIRED MAGAZINE 3D COVER PRINT
-
Here is something new for me - 3D printing. Since I did this last month I have done a few 3D models for print but nothing I can share.
This was created for the October 2012 issue fo Wired out today. Its just the 'E' from the logo printed out then flown out to a shoot and used as a prop.

Wow, I bet your chuffed to bits, I'm really pleased for you.

Yes its always nice to something more creative in work like this.

What do you think the differential cost would have been between printing and making in a wood shop? And even better why not create a virtual model and PhotoShop into the chefs hand. That would have been the easiest approach. I am very much for using SU for virtual illustrations so I am just interested in your approach to the problem.

Well done Liam ...... you're a high flyer now

It was last minute from idea to product in only a few hours, it would have been hard to find a wood shop to get it done in that timeframe in central London.
I made the E in only a few minutes and sent the file to the printer, then picked it up a few hours later and it went on a flight with the team to the shoot somewhere in Spain I think.
The cover is actually animated on the digital version so it easier to work with a real object than try to splice in a virtual one. You can download it here, iPad only for now: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/wired-magazine-uk/id400701660?mt=8

Thanks, I also did a feature opener in the same issue. In print it was a double page spread and on the ipad version shown here its just a single page.
Not shown here i actually completed the entire facility even though only a small percentage was used. I dont have any shots but it looked similar to this: http://solarpowerpanels.ws/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/solar-thermal_ORxjh_69.jpgIts a solar farm, made in SU and then they used the wireframe as part of the design.

Great stuff Liam...as always.

Congratulations on being published. I have seen polystyrene being cut by a hot wire for something simple like this.
-
Great Lliam. Congratulations
Wired is such a good mag. -
Very Cool!!! Congrats. Very encouraging to see.

Thanks - I think as the printing tech gets cheaper we will see a lot more exciting things!

Great work....and I really hope that Trimble reads posts like this and makes 3D printing fully integrated with future versions of SU.

In a way it already is - you can export directly in a recognised file format ready for print.
Perhaps if SU included some pre flight checks to make sure the model was ok and any delicate potential trouble sections got flagged up? -
Congrats, well done

Congrats! I had my first professional 3D print used earlier this year for an international phone game company.
Again, congratulations!
