The first in China, and possibly in the world, museum of 3D printing technologies and innovative design has opened in Shanghai. The six-story 5,000-square-meter building is dotted with exhibits that showcase the power of additive technologies.
It once housed a textile factory and storage space, as evidenced by the large loading doors left over from the renovation, but now the building is filled with stands with a variety of 3D printed items, from jewelry and décor to mechanical parts and nylon furniture.
A variety of technologies for rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing are presented: stereolithography, layer-by-layer deposition of a rod, selective laser sintering, and so on.
The building houses not only a museum, but also a café for 3D printers and research laboratories, and on the fourth floor there is a center for children's and youth's creativity, where novice makers can familiarize themselves with 3D printing technologies with their own hands.
Even the interior of the building is in no small measure 3D printed - walls and ceilings are decorated with various patterns of hexagonal cells symbolizing polymer chains, and even 3D printed hanging gardens.
