"Thanks for your comment Scott. The idea that something should only be printed if it is impossible to produce by any other method is one of the misconceptions about 3Dprinting that KAMP.Studio aims to challenge. The technology used here allows objects to be produced more locally and, in many ways, more sustainably than alternative production techniques. It makes titanium (a metal that is traditionally hard to work with) accessible to small design studios, allowing for exploration of new applications of the material. It creates efficiencies in the design and production process. It allows for high quality production of items like cutlery in small numbers, rather than mass production runs. Smaller production runs mean more diversity in the design market and diversity, I believe, is key to building a more sustainable future... The ability to make complex forms that weren't possible in the past, is far from being the only reason that designers should adopt these new technologies."
