Dream Makers: Design Meets Technology.

The Israel Museum presents Dream Makers: Design Meets Technology, an exhibition that explores how design concepts may be transformed into actual objects through use of a rapid prototyping three-dimensional printer. The first exhibition of its kind, Dream Makers brings together the creative energies of 73 Israeli designers commissioned to use this innovative technology in their work.

Dream Makers portrays a visual journey from the virtual to the physical: from the initial computer design of an object through its transformation to a final prototype. Objects on view are first created and developed as a three-dimensional computer file, then “printed” using the state-of-the-art three-dimensional jet printer developed by Objet Geometries, which builds each form layer by layer until it is complete. The exhibition offers a glimpse into the future, when this technology may be available in the domestic domain, and consumers will be able to download product design files from the Internet and print them at home.
