Inside Out is a compelling international touring exhibition featuring forty-six miniature sculptures produced in resin using 3D printing prototyping technologies. Developments in virtual computer visualisation and integrated digital technologies are giving contemporary makers new insight and opportunities to create objects and forms which were previously impossible to produce or difficult to envisage.

The exhibition is the result of collaboration between the Art Technology Coalition, the University of Technology Sydney and RMIT University in Australia along with De Montfort University, Manchester Metropolitan University and University College Falmouth incorporating Dartington College of Arts in the United Kingdom.

Inside Out featured the work of forty-six artists from Australia, the United Kingdom and New Zealand, and presented their three-dimensional forms as physical objects for the first time.  “3D Systems Asia-Pacific has worked with many innovative and challenging projects over the years”, mentions Kathryn Hay, Marketing Manager, “but this project pushed the boundaries of rapid prototyping technologies reproducing incredible shapes, intricate details and complex geometries.  Polyjet 3D Printing process was perfect for recreating the computer models; no other additive manufacturing process could have achieved it.”    

The exhibition has provided a real opportunity for artists from analogue and digital backgrounds to venture outside their usual medium and use rapid prototyping tools and methods.
