Nervous System harnesses the power of algorithms to create incredibly beautiful jewelry. I was fascinated when I read on their site:
“We create our designs through an iterative and experimental process. After brainstorming an initial concept, we write a pattern-generating algorithm in the computer through which we further explore our ideas and ultimately create the finished [...]

After playing with their tripods for a while, we were inspired to designed toy parts that interlock with Joby’s bendable structure. Once we were happy with the design, 3-D printed them out using a MakerBot. [...]

But the guys behind MakerBot are taking 3D printing one step farther, and envisioning a future in which everyone shops for products online and then prints them out right at home.

Check out this fun project we just did with Switched. We were challenged to design and make a set of salt and pepper shakers, all in one day! How was it possible? We took care of the design end, and the shakers were made by awesome 3-D printing technology from MakerBot. We’re really excited how [...]
