Local 3D Printing

Brad Bourgoyne, a local artist, uses 3D printing for art. 3D printing is like regular printing except it uses thin layers of material (plaster for Bourgoyne). After printing something, he has to let it dry overnight then he coats it with a plastic binding. There is a store called Composite Effects that houses the best 3D printer in Louisiana that creates costumes and props. 3D printers can also be helpful in making models for many fields (medical, engineering, and architectural).
