Smartgeometry 2012 @ RPI

The Smartgeometryconference (sg2012) was held in Troy, NY, on the campus of RensselaerPolytechnic Institute from 19-24 March.  Every year since 2001, the best and brightest architects, designers, and engineers gather from Practice, Research, and Academia to explore and discuss the latest trends and technology in digital design, simulation and fabrication.  This year, the sg2012 theme was Material Intensities – the connections between materiality and the environment.  Eleven separate workshop clusters were held during the first four days.

Several of these clusters used 3D printing to help them communicate their project size and scope.  As a Silver Sponsor for sg2012, 3D Systems donated materials and printing services to support the clusters.  Two projects are pictured below:

During the Friday Talkshop and Saturday Symposium, 3D Systems had the opportunity to display 3D printed models and demonstrate its 3D Touch printer.  In the photo above, Daniele is holding two tower massing models that were printed at the event on the 3D Touch system.
