An update on the Monotype Electro Display Matrix 3D Scanning and Printing project!

Everyone is busy, let me tell you that. I received two 3D scans of Electro Display Matrices back in November, printed and received service bureau 3D prints in December and talked with one of the scanners about brass casting, and then stalled through a combination of software trouble and busy 3D sculptors. (The former: AutoDesk Fusion 360 isn’t updated for Apple M1 processors, and the operations I need to refine the scans “beachball” the cursor; the latter: people with 3D skills are absolutely in high demand.)

But I hope to break the logjam soon, deliver the 3D model files that are part of the project, and then move into the 3D printing phase—and maybe some brass casting. Once I have the Kickstarter campaign fulfilled, I’ll often matrices for sale here as well.
