Fall 2011
¿Plastico? ¡Fantastico! is working with the Hewlett-Packard Company in Barcelona, Spain. HP, a world leader in printing technologies, has recently entered into the up-and- coming field of 3D printing and is interested in adding value to the 3D assets created by their printers by exploring new methods of creation and interaction. 3D printing is used in a professional capacity by engineers, artists and designers to rapidly prototype their ideas, with applications as varied as architectural mockups to parts of Iron Man´s armor. Currently, 3D printing technology is relatively inaccessible to those unfamiliar with computer aided modeling software. The team is working to develop a novel and entertaining way to interact with 3D printers that can be used by current customers as well as attract new audiences.
