Stolen 3D Models on Sale, What Can Designers Do to Protect Their IP’s? AM Software

by Design

A few days ago I spoke with Simone Fontana, who is part of a new generation of 3D designers, born with 3D printing in mind. He pointed out an issue that has been happening for some time but is now reaching worrying proportions: that of stolen 3D designs sold for a profit. How can designers protect themselves and what are the implication of a phenomenon which we could define is basically a form of “person to person IP theft”?

GCode.Clay Project by Emerging Objects Creates Clay Vessels and Smart Cladding with Gcode Professional Additive Manufacturing

by Consumer

The Emerging Objects studio by Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello is possibly the most experience studio in the world in terms of experimenting with materials (and processes) for 3D printing. Initially they mostly worked with powders but recently they have also been experimenting with extrusion. In their latest GCODE.Clay project, they use ceramics and they actually let the machines create the designs.
