Here is an article about a women who 3d printed flowers to “reveal what currently exists before its lost.”
“3D printing has provided me a new way of communicating about a pristine and special world to a busy culture that may be unable to explore such things in their everyday lives” (Darlene Farris-LaBar)
I found the article really beautiful and inspiring, and have been toying with the idea of 3d printing plants.
“It is Farris-LaBar’s hope that her 3D printed flowers can act as “3D field guides”, showing off the flowers’ unique characteristics to onlookers, while also working as an educational tool to create awareness of the dangers that these species of plants are faced with.” (Darlene Farris-LaBar)
