Exploring the Intersection of Craft and Additive Manufacturing: The 3D Printed Altarpiece
The connection between new technologies and craft is growing stronger and has undertaken considerable modifications in its very nature. For instance, if we look at additive manufacturing, we recognize that it was utilized to create tiny objects and models and is currently gradually being utilized for enormous success, such as constructing buildings. An excellent example of this can be seen in Bavaria, Germany, where a three-dimensional printed altarpiece is made in the town church
The altarpiece was 3D-printed to take on an elevation of 8 meters behind the altar. Its complicated 3D-lattice framework is as remarkable as its golden shade. The job reveals an exciting merging of historical and contemporary spiritual art.
The whole 3D modeling phase before the printing phase allows the individual to have fun with the shapes and material and examine whether the layout is optimized for additive manufacturing. Usually, the 3D design is developed with as little material as feasible to prevent enhancing costs and post-processing steps. In addition, topological optimization removes products where it is not required: the component's last weight is reduced, as is its expense. This is an essential benefit in the design of a part such as an altarpiece
The job took a total amount of 6 months, with the 3D printing part being the fastest. The result is quite impressive.
