Stone Printing

Isaac Monté (BE)

With Stone Printing I redefine the possibilities of 3D printing by introducing a novel approach that is not only environmentally friendly but also artistically innovative.

At the heart of Stone Printing is a self-developed cutting-edge, eco-conscious material. Developed from CaCO3, a byproduct of the limestone industry, this biobased dough is 75% recycled and free from chemical additives. This material not only boasts a low carbon footprint but is also entirely biodegradable, making it a sustainable choice for the future.

I have engineered an extrusion system designed for cold extrusion of biobased materials. This system seamlessly interfaces with several 3D printers and robotic arms offering versatility in print dimensions.

The final outcome is a series of functional design objects inspired by the spirograph—a geometrical design tool. My collection includes mirrors, clocks, flowerpots, vases and lamps, seamlessly marrying form and function.

    Isaac Monté is fascinated by societal sustainability and is interested in unusual, new materials and how they can be manipulated. Monté sees himself as a pioneer, who by means of combining technology, art and science, can demonstrate how art can contribute to a strategy of sustainable development. In his work, Monté combines different media, using techniques and media tools either to experiment and document or to strengthen the message with video and visual images.
