a new photo taken by @3dprintfresno ! 3D Prints Smaller Than an Ant’s Forehead are Printed and Then Inevitably Lost by: #SarahAnderson “We live in an era where the impossible has finally come to pass. In our own little way we have become demi-gods of creation.” –#JontyHurwitz We’ve seen some absolutely amazing art over the past 6,000 years of human history, and, more recently, we’ve seen some incredible creations that were made using 3D printing and imaging techniques. But now it’s clear — some of the most impressive art is something we will never see. At least not with the naked eye. Or even a jeweler’s scope, or a microscope that can magnify 400x. Artist Jonty Hurwitz has created the world’s smallest #sculptures: #nanosculptures, created using a 3D printed #photosensitive material, so small they can fit on the head of an ant, in the eye of a needle, on a human hair — so small they look like no more than a mote of dust hanging in a ray of sunlight. The largest of his #sculptures — a series of seven, inspired by 18th century sculpture “Psyche Revived by Cupid’s Kiss” by Antonia Canova — is about the width of a human hair; the smallest is less than half that width. “It’s so interesting when you bring in scientists — and I’ve had this happen in all the projects I’ve worked on –when you bring scientists into the art world, you get so inspired and so excited,” he says of the process.
