Revolutionizing 3D Printing with Filament as Paint.

Horn & Rhode's experimental tool called HueForge treats colored, melted filament like paint to create 3D prints that do not look like 3D prints. The printer creates a mostly flat image similar to a lithophane, but with color blending in highly precise ways by printing extremely thin layers. The process requires manual effort and a tool called FilaScope to measure filament transmissivity. The results can be striking and create things that look nothing like traditional 3D prints. The concept is still searching for a name.

Creating Custom Wall Art with 3D Printing Blueprints

Basement Creations has figured out how to use a 3D printer to create interesting wall art, including blueprints. By using the printer as a plotter and depositing white ink on a blue page, he creates artistic wall hangings. He also shows how to use the printer to create larger wall art by joining multiple 3D printed parts. The final product is a 3D-printed replica of the James Webb Telescope that uses real mirrors to mimic the iconic look of that space-borne observatory.
