 When most people think of printing, paper comes to mind. There are no paper jams at Figulo, a 3D printing shop located in South Boston. I think 3D printing is going to affect every aspect of our lives. Figulo founder Andrew Jeffery allows artists from around the world to submit sketches of objects. His team scan the submissions and allow computer software to convert the file into a format that lows into one of the five machines and the magic begins. The object emerges, layer by layer, slice by slice. What the machine then does is it takes the first slice and then it prints it. It then spreads another layer of powder on top of that, prints the second slice, and just keeps doing that. So we really take all the slices and we put it back together and make it whole again. So it's the reverse of cutting it up. It's already cut up and we put it back together again. I had a vision and the staff that I have joined in that vision and we're making ceramics that really are just extremely beautiful, unique. They can't be made any other way and we're expanding the range of ceramic objects and the way people think about ceramics. So you are a part of history. Well possibly, I think in 3,000 years when they're excavating Boston and they dig up some of our ceramic pieces that are buried under the rubble, we probably will be part of history.
