Dario Santacroce is an Italian artist who worked with 3D Printing for his ‘Spherical Creations’ series when he "realized that his vision for perfect forms could not be accomplished through traditional means." Santacroce wanted to see if it was possible with modern technology to represent a perfect spherical form as a true 3-dimensional sculpture. The curved forms of his ‘Spherical Creations’ are based on three interlocking structures that give rise to the so-called Reuleaux Triangle. Coming from a traditional sculpture background, Santacroce had to model and print special shaping tools for the sandstone prints, combining 3D printing with hand finishing for allowing him to precisely sand the prints to the final desired shape.
Good selection. - I liked the selection of photographs to document his work!
