Art and 3D Printing: Van Gogh Sunflowers


3D printing is used in many industries, including automotive, fashion, and even art! With the help of 3D printing, artists were able to reproduce Van Gogh’s Sunflower painting into a 3-dimensional masterpiece to make it look like a physical sculpture-like piece of art.


With 3D software, the artists created the sunflowers and then added layer upon layer of 3-dimensional brush strokes to give the illusion of the pained strokes on the original canvas.



The file was then printed on a 3D Systems ProJet 3500 using the visijet-x material and then cast in a silicon bronze. The new piece of art is on display in London at the Fine Art Society.
