Oakland-based Emerging Objects isn’t your normal design firm. Rather than designing homes, interiors, furniture or products from common materials, the four-person group is trying to create materials for tomorrow’s 3D printed objects
We’re happy to announce we started producing in the US! Since i.materialise is an international 3D printing service, we want to produce more regional to cut shipping costs and delivery times. Recently we started producing several materials in the US but we’re still finalizing the details.
