MX3D Brings Rowan Gillespie Sculpture to Life with Additive Manufacturing

August 23, 2024

MX3D has announced its involvement in the additive manufacturing of “Later Love”, a sculpture by renowned Irish artist Rowan Gillespie. The sculpture will be exhibited alongside other works at Clonlea Studios starting from August 18.

Additive Manufacturing in Art

Using its advanced robotic Directed Energy Deposition (DED) technology, MX3D was able to create the bronze body sculptures with complete freedom in geometric design. This collaboration showcases the potential of additive manufacturing in the art world, allowing for the creation of complex and intricate designs that might be challenging or impossible to achieve through traditional methods.

MX3D’s DED technology enables artists to push the boundaries of their creative expression, providing them with a new medium to explore and realize their visions. The ability to manufacture sculptures with such precision and detail opens up new possibilities in the art industry.

Previous Collaborations and Artistic Innovation

This is not MX3D’s first venture into the intersection of art and technology. The company has previously collaborated with artists Paolo Albertelli and Mariagrazia Abbaldo of Studio C&C in Turin, Italy, on the sculpture “The Whale Pass.” These projects highlight the growing role of additive manufacturing in contemporary art, where the precision and flexibility of the technology allow artists to bring their most ambitious ideas to life.

Through its collaboration with Rowan Gillespie, MX3D continues to demonstrate the transformative potential of additive manufacturing in the art world. By enabling artists to create sculptures with unprecedented geometric freedom and detail, MX3D is helping to shape the future of artistic expression. The exhibition of “Later Love” at Clonlea Studios stands as a testament to the innovative possibilities that arise when technology meets art.
