"Bruce,

"Thanks for great articles, long time reader of Wired.

"Your article discusses rapid prototyping and I was somewhat surprised that you didn't mention the sculptural opportunities.

" IIT currently is holding an exhibit, art.iit.edu, on the sculptural aspects of this technology. A press release is copied below. I have also attached a few preliminary images from the exhibit. The background section covers that variety of work presented. A very crude form generator was developed a few years ago:

just missing the button to send it to RP.

"In addition to discussing user or viewer directed manufacturing, in a current exhibit, chico.art.net

or

I have a piece that is a parody

of Sol LeWitt's wall painting titles Any Wall, it deals with the same subject but at a 2D level.

"Our research at IIT has covered many areas of generative designs, examples can be found at

I would be happy to answer any

questions you might have.

Thanks,
