"Traces how artists and designers continue to adapt and incorporate 3D printing technology into their work and explains how the creative industries are directly interfacing with this new technology. Covering a broad range of applied art practice - from fine art to furniture-design and film-making - Stephen Hoskins introduces some of this groundbreaking research from the Center for Fine Print Research along with an updated history of 3D print technology. a new chapter on fashion and animation, and new cases studies featuring artists working with metal, plastic, ceramic and other materials. A fascinating investigation into how the applied arts continue to adapt to new technologies and a forecast of what developments we might expect in the future."--Page 4 of cover
