Printing Everyday

It was such a pleasure chatting with Tanya Gruenberg during this episode, and I have to be honest when I first saw her pieces I wasn't sure exactly how fell into the "3D printed" category. Her jewelry looks totally different from anything else that I had seen and during our chat she discusses where her inspiration comes from and also a little bit about her method. When we chatted about her process and it pulled back the curtain for me and now I understand (as much as a beginner can) the printing method she uses. As far as I know Tanya is the first person we've had on the Printing Everyday Podcast to print in resin and use the resin prints to cast her jewelry and her prints are absolutely beautiful and you'll notice that her photos are very unique. Though I didn't ask her about the photography in the episode they aren't renders, and they're staged, and there's a consistent thought behind all of the photos. You can check out Tanya's line at StudioGrun.com, and you can follow all the great th

Kerry Stevenson of Fabbaloo - Episode 31 In this episode Kerry Stevenson and I chat about his blog Fabbaloo.com, which has been up and running since 2007. The main focus of the site is on News and current events in the 3D printing industry, however Kerry has added features like his desktop 3D printing guide and his soon to come commercial 3D printing guide.  This is a super helpful episode for beginners interested in learning more about the different types of modeling; Kerry describes organic, engineering, and mathematical 3D modeling and recommends software for each. I hope you enjoy this episode with Kerry, you can check out all the cool things Kerry is up to by visiting his links and URL's below. Make sure you subscribe to the Printing Everyday Podcast on iTunes or Stitcher; don’t forget to leave a comment.

Steven Cartoccio of Concrete Jungle - Episode 28   Episode 28 features Steven Cartoccio, the creator of animated web series Concrete Jungle, you can check out the Pilot here. I am a huge fan of animation and I love the application of 3D printing to animation. And Steven has utilized this technology to create action figures for his series and he's also created a couple music videos which features 3D printing and stop motion. Although we didn't discuss it outright, Steven is a great example that you can always pursue your dreams and interests, no matter what. Originally when he went to school Steven studied advertising, I had to ask if it's helped with the success of this project, and I was surprised to hear that he attributes his success to something else. He had always been interested in art even while pursuing advertising, so after hearing a man from Hasbro talk about the toy manufacturing process he was inspired to attend the School of Visual Arts and he received his degree in

I had an absolutely great time chatting with Vicky Somma owner of Shapeways Shop TGAW and you can find all her URLs and links below. In this episode Vicky and I chat about how she was able to teach herself how to 3D model while taking managing her career, husband and two toddlers... I have to say I was SO inspired by her. One of the first prints that Vicky was featured in the White House and Smithsonian, take a listen to our chat to hear about the impressive things that she's done and follow all the cool things she's up to now by checking out all her links below  and a few notes she'd like to include.Shapeways Shop: http://www.shapeways.com/shops/tgaw Instructables Site Instructables articles for how the Library of Congress and the moving-part, adjustable Dial-O-Lantern were modeled in Blender.  I have learned so much from all the people who post their knowledge on the Internet, it was a small way of trying to pay it forward. http://www.instructables.com/member/VickyTGAW/  Blog: 

I had a great time chatting with John of Freakin' Sweet Knots and http://freakinsweetapps.com/. Dan Foley from episode 8 recommended that I chat with John about his designs and his methods and I have to say that it was a blast! John learned how to tie knots with his Dad and he used that same knowledge and his background in programming to design an engagement ring for his girlfriend at the time while he was working for Dreamworks as a visual artist. He has worked on Madagascar 3, How to Train Your Dragon, and many more. You can hear him talk about that experience in this episode of the Podcast. When John let me know that he ran a contest on his website to see if followers could tell the difference between a rendering of one of his rings and the actual ring, I had to make a guess myself. When we talked about what he was looking forward to in the near future, John let me know that he was going to begin teaching a course and working with the Children's Museum in his city creating program
