Convivial Studio 3D Prints Skateboard Trails

Some of athletes' best memories come from a record-setting run or bike ride, or, for skateboarders, a difficult-to-master trick. Those moments are ephemeral, as memories tend to be, but 3D printing can help to capture them in more tangible forms. A design studio has now come up with a way to map the trajectory of a skateboard in motion, and to 3D print those trajectories. Convivial Studio is a London-based design studio that creates installations and other works of art using advanced technology, founded by Paul Ferragut and Ann-Kristin Abel. The project Skateboarding Visualizations was a recent endeavor by Ferragut to capture the unique movement of individual skateboarders as they performed different tricks, and to preserve that movement in concrete, 3D printed form.
