About

I believe this is an amazing time to be a designer, an artist or simply a maker. The tools that we now have access to continually blow my mind to the possibilities in front of us; this is the stuff of science-fiction inspired by the texts of Ray Bradbury and Philip K. Dick; and 3D printing is – for me at least – especially fantastical.

Whilst 3D printing has been around since the mid-eighties it’s only now, when an affordable machine can sit on your desk and make physical things appear, that its impact is starting to be realised.

This little blog tracks my own adventure with my Makerbot. You can see the other things I get up to – from digital interfaces to electronic objects over at brendandawes.com or follow me on Twitter @brendandawes

About

Mr. McGuire: I want to say one word to you. Just one word.
Benjamin: Yes, sir.
Mr. McGuire: Are you listening?
Benjamin: Yes, I am.
Mr. McGuire: Plastics.
Benjamin: Exactly how do you mean?
Mr. McGuire: There's a great future in plastics. Think about it. Will you think about it?

In December 2010 I bought and built a Makerbot Thing-O-Matic 3D printer. In 2012 I bought the Replicator 2. This blog is an on-going diary of everything I make with this wonderful machine; a machine sent from the future.
