and the movie trailer here:
From the "About" page:
3D-printing is a method that physically realises
digital designs layer by layer using a fluid substance that can be hardened by
lasers or other binding agents. To date, it’s been used for small-scale
manufacturing and as architectural maquettes. Enrico, however, has far grander
plans.
...
Having built his printer – the world’s largest – from
scratch, there’s no shortage of work offers for this highly-skilled and
imaginative engineer. Throughout the course of the film, we see Enrico embark on
an array of innovative projects: constructing the tallest printed sculpture in
existence, working with Foster + Partners and the European Space Agency on a
programme to colonise the moon, solidifying a sand dune in the desert, and
printing the closest thing to an actual house: a small Italian dwelling known
as a trullo.
I sure hope this movie makes it onto one of my local TV stations soon!
