“If everyone now has the ability to make their own things, then surely everyone should also be responsible for the things they make. If not, it’s entirely possible that the 3D printing “revolution” will be remembered not only for the products it creates, but also for the landfill it leaves behind.”

“From an unknown location, I break into IKEA’s computer server. In this nerve centre, the CAD files for every IKEA product are stored and are downloaded worldwide. By infecting the CAD files with the ‘Elephantiasis virus’ I have just designed, I can hack the entire range of products. The virus causes random deformities, like lumps, cracks and humps, which only show up when the customer prints his product at home with his 3D printer.”
MERRICK by Daan van den Berg is a digital file infected with an elephantiasis simulation and then converted into tangible products using a 3D printer. Every lamp that is printed will therefore be different.

“We believe that the next step in copying will be made from digital form into physical form. It will be physical objects. Or as we decided to call them: Physibles. Data objects that are able (and feasible) to become physical. We believe that things like three dimensional printers, scanners and such are just the first step. We believe that in the nearby future you will print your spare sparts for your vehicles. You will download your sneakers within 20 years.”

![SEND TO PRINT / PRINT TO SEND is at The Aram Gallery from 13th Jan - 25th Feb 2012
“[The exhibition] offers an impression of the uses of 3D Printing in the design industry today. This timely exhibition shows work by designers and organisations who are developing the capabilities of this technology. In addition it will include examples of the increasingly important role 3D Printing plays in the design process, particularly during the complex prototyping stages. Featuring pieces from the studios of both established and emerging designers, The Aram Gallery uses this exhibition as a way to examine how designers’ processes are developing to accommodate new technological advances.”

Haptic Intelligentsia by Studio Homonculus is a human 3D printing machine that allows the user to tactually perceive the virtual object and to directly transform it into the physical. The user can freely move the extruding gun, which is attached to a haptic interface. When the tip of the gun is moved into a surface region of the virtual object, the interface generates forces under computer control, allowing the user to feel and touch the surface of the object.

Ohm by Max Rubenacker is modelled on the OM chant. The simulation of the 120-140 Hz range of sound came from research he did into vibration’s effect on water and our bodies. The note is somewhere around C#.
Only 20 of these will be produced.
