Bruce Beasley at Autodesk Gallery in San Francisco

Bruce Beasley showcases his sculptures — all output on 3D printers — in “Coriolis,” which is on view until Feb. 7, 2014 at Autodesk Gallery in San Francisco, USA.

While Beasley was among the first to legitimize 3D modeling as a way to draw, sketch and imagine, the “Coriolis” series is the first time Beasley used 3D printing to actually “sculpt” his final artwork. After using Autodesk Alias, 3dsMax and Inventor software to model the works, he used a state-of-the-art 3D printer to build up detailed ribbons of liquid plastic in ascending tiers to bring the designs to life.
