We also sit down with Stepan Drunks, a computational and industrial designer specializing in advanced 3D printing workflows, complex geometries, and production-ready objects ranging from wearables and accessories to functional products. We dive deep into how computational design is shaping the future of additive manufacturing — from custom digital pipelines and fabrication techniques, to how artists and engineers can collaborate (and overlap) in the modern maker ecosystem. Whether you’re into FDM, SLA, generative design, industrial design, or simply love the creative side of additive manufacturing, this conversation is packed with inspiration and…
