Printing buildings with Dejan Mitrovic and the Kideville project

The second half of 2011 saw the Victoria and Albert museum in London look to the future with the Power of Making exhibition. With 3D printing as a theme throughout the show it was only natural that our BFB-3000 3D printer was on display.

To help show the visitors to the Power of Making exhibtion how 3D printing works Dejan Mitrovic ran a number of his Kideville workshops. During these days visiting primary school aged children could draw their own buildings before converting them in to 3D models on a computer before printing them live right there on the Bits from Bytes printer.

We met with Dejan during one of his workshop days for a chat about his project and you can watch it here:

We will be welcoming Dejan to the BETT exhibition in London this week as he joins us on our stand to share his project with visitors. If you are in the area why not come and see us? Tickets are free if you register here
