All artists are trying to say something with their art, whether it’s a political statement or developing a scene, they have a message they are trying to convey. “3D printing is a remarkable way for today’s artists to create outstanding pieces of art that not only reflect the message they want to send but also make their art more accessible to art lovers. Designs previously impossible to make and share are now very much feasible thanks to 3D printing, creating greater art career opportunities than ever before. Artists should embrace the varying opportunities in this arena and harness the potential of 3D printing to minimize challenges relating to geometry, scale, time, production accessibility, quick customization and cost.įor example, if an artist has a 3D printer at home, they can potentially (and affordably) make anything their mind can imagine, subsequently, sharing their work(s) with greater ease and without the need for employing a manufacturer or other previously essential stakeholders for distribution.

The art world has a great deal to gain from additive manufacturing since 3D printing removes many of the limitations of traditional art manufacturing methods and minimizes challenges within the creative process itself, if used wisely.

3D printing technologies and trailblazing 3D design software have the potential to open up new frontiers within the creative process of art forms including ceramics, installation art, fine art, sculpture, theatre, dance, fashion and music – to name but a few.
