Neri Oxman Uses Stratasys Printers to Create Incredible 3D Printed Wearable Skins

[Brian_Krassenstein]

Designer, professor, and architect Neri Oxman, working with her team of researchers at the MIT Media Lab, has collaborated with German designers Christoph Bader and Dominik Kolb of deskriptiv to utilize Stratasys' 3D printing triple-jetting technology in creating high-tech "wearable skins" inspired by human biology and planetary bodies. The wearables are on display this week at EuroMold in Stratasys' "The Sixth Element: Exploring the Natural Beauty of 3D Printing" collection. The triple-jetting technology utilized multi-material 3D printing to create these elaborate wearables.

In one of her articles Neri Oxman describes that she has an interface, developed in Processing, that lets her voxelize the model and assign variable properties for every voxel, much like painting in every slice of the model. If anyone knows of an available piece of software that allows the user to do that, please let me know!
