At the Singapore University of Technology and Design, professors Felix Raspall and Carlos Bañón have decided to liven up the campus’ open house event with a large 3D-printed art installation! The piece was erected with the help of a student team, and spans 41 feet across the interior of the campus center. The installation is comprised of 91 unique 3D-printed nodes and 369 10mm aluminum bars, and was created to explore the mechanical properties of 3D printed parts, as well as show off the program’s contents to prospective students. The piece is also accentuated by several long platforms, which feature work and projects from the student body. The piece is able to be walked through and experienced up close, allowing for a cool interactive way of presenting the college’s contents to visitors and returning students alike.

Toymaker Michael Sng has taken the use of 3D-printing in toy creation to a whole new level with his brand-new HMC Boudicca fantasy tank! The vehicle is part of Sng’s Codename Colossus project, which is a series of made-to-order kinetic toys set in an alternate reality Europe. The toy itself stands at over 20″ high, and is comprised of over 400 3D-printed parts, all painted by hand. Featuring multiple motors and LEDs, the toy is capable of walking on its six legs, opening hatches to reveal hidden cannons, rotating its variety of turrets and spotlights, and more! This impressive figure is currently available to order directly from Sng’s Singapore-based workshop for $5,000, and Sng plans to release smaller, more afforable versions of the Boudicca and future releases if the line catches on. You can check out the toy itself as well as the building process in the videos below!
