The 3D area represents cutting edge technology from industries that include 3D printing and CAD software.
This years activities include 3D laser scanning of your face or body too parametric modeling using Grasshopper via Rhino3D
and Generative Components by Bently. Attendees will be able to manipulate 3D meshes in ZBrush or Mudbox and print their models on steampunk Studio stand.

Robots + Rayguns is a low-tech, high-fun hands on activity. Using 2D and 3D design and fabrication techniques we will create 3D robots and rayguns from 2D patterns, integrating small electronic components to create audio and visual effects. The software we are utilizing for the design and pattern creation is Rhino 3D, Pepakura, Repper Pro, and Adobe Illustrator. This hands on DIY project utilities readily available materials and low cost software for a fun break from all the high-cost and high-tech. Come sit down and spend some time in the Studio and walk away with a souvenir!

Activity Leader: Ryan Buyssens and Coutney Starrett

Artist, Matthew Shlian, will show attendees how turn their own 3D models into 3D paper sculptures using Pepakura and Metasequia. Print out your 3D model pattern on high quality paper from Red River and learn to pleat, fold, and cut your pattern into a paper sculpture that you can take home.
