MƎTHESIS Event Takes Metal 3D Printing to Milan Design Week
Exploring the new possibilities of generative software and additive manufacturing is a job for product designers. That is what ten of the best known designer in 3D printing are going to do, using Autodesk software and a Sisma MySint100 Laser Metal Fusion 3D printer, for the MƎTHESIS event set to take place during Milan Design Week held April 12th to the 17th.
Engineers throughout the manufacturing industry tell us that one of the primary hurdles to a greater adoption of 3D printing is in the ability to envision what kind of product geometries generative software and digital, additive technologies can help us create. Now that direct metal 3D printing is become a lot more common, costs are lowering and build volumes are increasing, the technology can start to be used for products that go beyond its core jewelry and aerospace adoption segments, and into commercial high-end design products.
The MƎTHESIS event sets out to demonstrate this theory by asking 10 designers who have been exploring the forefront of 3D printing possibilities in recent years, to create a collection of metal 3D printed tableware products. Such as, for example, Francis Bitonti’s limited edition Flatware collection of 3D printed silverware. Top names such as Nick Ervinck and Janne Kyttanen are also participating, along with visionary generatively 3D printed product designers such as MHOX, Alessandro Zambelli, Igor Knezevic and Philip H. Wilck.
