Tue, 11 Jun 2013 20:39:39 +0200

We are launching Quark Jewelry, by Stijn van der Linden of the art & design studio, Virtox. He’s a leading figure in the 3D printing design community. His work has been featured on the Today Show and the Wired Store. Quark Jewelry is one of the first products made by our platform, Mixee Labs. It is inspired by the intricacies of subatomic particle movement.

Science FTW!

Stijn made his first piece of computer art at age 6 with Graphics Basic on Commodore 64. Computer graphics since then, has gone a long way, and he has been keeping up! We interviewed Stijn to give you some insight into the design of Quark Jewelry.

Check out the brilliant detail on that! Great job!

A ssssnake… well, to be honest, not my favorite type of animal…
but a little, clever snake-pet would be nice…
living winded around a finger of my hand…
eating annoying mosquitoes and biting bad people!

After World Peace I and World Peace II got rejected,
it was silent for a long time.
But the world could wait no longer, so it was high time for World Peace III

The Disconcerting 3D Printed Teeth Tea Cup

Do you want to sip high tea from the Teeth Tea Cup 3D Printed in Ceramics by Shapeways?

On Proper Usage and Inhibited Ingestion: Why is it that we find the cup so unappetizing? Could it have originated from survival tactics where we relate our proximity to another’s teeth as a threat of life, a reminder of predator and prey, poison and contamination? Is this object then successful in its design to prevent gluttonous behavior should food and drink only be offered in the cup? more information at Lily Su’s site.

This is my first work in ceramics: “AEROcup”. It ‘a coffee cup designed thinking of the aviation world. The three feet and the handle are designed as an “airfoil”.
I also thought of a plate for two “AEROcups” designed and inspired to a wing section.
