Sugar SculptureAdd one more to the category of "New or Unusual
Printing Technology" with CandyFab! Using a type of 3-D prototyping -
printing in three dimensions with inkjet deposition technology - you
can print any thing from candy treats to sophisticated sculptures out
of sugar. The image at the left uses a design from a sculptor named
Bathsheba Grossman; see her work at www.bathsheba.com.
Simple Sugar SculptureSo how does it work? Rapid prototyping machines
(3-D printers) are a relatively new form of manufacturing that builds
objects in three dimensions by carefully depositing materials drop by
drop, layer by layer using a form of inkjet deposition. With the right
set of materials and a geometric blueprint, you can fabricate complex
objects that would normally take special resources, tools and skills
if produced using conventional manufacturing techniques.
