FOC Imagineering 17.Jun.2009
There are a few 3D printing processes, which are aimed to build very large structures such as buildings. Here are the first images of our tests with the D-Shape process. We have a lot of faith for the future of this technology and we wish Enrico Dini and his team all the best with perfecting their process. Here is a link to D-Shape.

Making interlocking structures with 3D printing, which could eventually have the smoothness of textiles, was the brain child from Jiri Evenhuis, at FOC 2000. Making simple flat pieces was technically relative easy already back then. However, automating bullet proof software for applying these structures on any double curved surfaces and then being able to also 3D print them, is a bit of a different story. Here are some development pictures of functional coding for complex surfaces.
Development partners in this project are:
Within and London College of Fashion.
