Polywerk3D Hosted Its First Art Exhibition

Our goal in creating the exhibition was to find a medium where we could use and develop our artistic skills. We therefore began exploring ways to integrate 3D art with lighting, ensuring our exhibition matched its overarching theme.

What You Could See at Our 3D Printed Art Exhibition

We explored geometric patterns that could be repeated endlessly. We also created corresponding models with pegs and built functional improvised lights with custom forms.

The chandelier consists of various 3D printed triangles hanging on pegs from the chandelier frame. At the centre of the chandelier is an RGB lamp.

The Polyman Mascot

We designed and printed our mascot "Polyman". The character's concept comes from the Viking rune "Inguz" (fertility), which is also depicted on the mascot's hands and feet.

3D Printed Masks and Light Installations

We designed and 3D printed masks. We painted the masks so that, combined with RGB lighting, they would be visually interesting. We hung the masks in front of paintings to create a multi-layered sense of depth.

We sewed a thin layer of wadding onto fabric and added eyelets along the edges so the fabric could be easily installed and transported. We attached LED strips to the fabric and covered them with polyester wadding. The final idea was to create a stormy sky effect with customisable lighting.

We painted artworks in specific colours that worked well with RGB lighting.

Why We Organised the Art Exhibition

It was also important to us that everything created could be reused for future exhibitions or within our own studio.

This 3D printed art exhibition taught us a great deal about teamwork, material selection, and time management. We used both FDM and SLA printing to achieve different textures and levels of detail. The experience showed how 3D printing can be not only a functional tool but also a medium for artistic expression.

The exhibition was made possible by: Oskar Narusberk, Henry Narusberk, Tõnu Sepp, Eliise Järve, Oliver Kängsepp, Markos Leemet, Anastasia Musakko, Andrzej Wiśniewski, Argo Vahane, Paula Kivi, Rain Kalde, Andrej, Hendrik Alla
