Colorful artwork series created by Stratasys PolyJet technology

Stratasys Art Design and Fashion reveals a new 3D printed artwork series, Beast of the Anthropocene, created in collaboration with innovative product designer Dov Ganchrow. This marks the latest addition full-color 3D print’ The New Ancient Collection.
Drawing upon man’s fascination with skulls, the Beast of the Anthropocene series of works consist of both real and 3D printed cow skulls that have been altered in various ways with a playful design attitude. The series seeks to highlight man’s ever-evolving need to reshape the natural to better suit our needs.

The cow skulls were collected over several years of off-trail hill hiking. One of the more complete specimens was 3D scanned to record its exterior topography and then sectioned with dovetail geometry into three portions: the front, central, and horn area. A modular mechanical system has been imposed on the skull, not only allowing for fixed linear motion between the parts but also creating a means by which parts are interchangeable.

“The combination of digital computing and full color 3D printing has allowed for the ever more complex and previously unattainable realization of new physical forms,” says Ganchrow. “Having 3D printed interchangeable cubical parts for the cow skull horns and snout seems almost irrational when considering what the technology allows. But these reductive forms are here as both an expression of human thinking and dominance, morphological contrast, as well as a appraise of the current dominant 3D printing form trend.”

As both the 3D printed and original skull works have a plastic color finish to them, it is not immediately evident to viewers which objects are bone and which are polymer. This leads us to consider how our knowledge that an object is real might affect our relationship with it. Can we attach the same profoundness to something that was manufactured as to something that was alive?
The series forms part of Stratasys’ The New Ancient collection, which focuses on revisiting the heritage of design history, antique eras, and timeless design concepts from different cultures. Naomi Kaempfer, Creative Director of Art Design and Fashion at Stratasys explains “Throughout The New Ancient Collection, historical design knowhow is transitioned with innovative 3D printing technology as a way of depicting the timelessness of art, creativity, design, and manufacturing. The Beast of the Anthropocene series epitomizes our vision of traversing between modern, cutting-edge technologies and historical artifacts while evoking viewers to really contemplate their perception of the modern world.”

Now, more and more various artworks that using 3D print technology to convert traditional ideas into magnificent artwork, here is a look at other different forms of artwork being converted.
