Taking advantage of the increased attention from mainstream business and media, London held its first trade show dedicated to 3D printing over the weekend. With a mixture of equipment manufacturers and designers exhibiting, the
3D Print Show offered visitors the opportunity to see how 3D printing works and how it could be relevant to their lives.

Throughout the show, there was an emphasis on the cost and ease-of-use of 3D printers themselves and the design opportunities and aesthetics the technology offers. One highlight was the
NDA style of
Matthew Plummer-Fernandez's resin printed objects, called Digital Natives, which are made by 3D scanning household objects and then manipulating their forms using algorithms.
