A traditional technique of the goldsmith long before engraving for printing purposes was developed, criblé was also used to make the earliest metal prints on paper.
"If we can get 3D metal printing to work, we are well on the way to commercial nuclear fusion".
Here we report on the use of Additive Fabrication metal printing based on Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology to produce 3D titanium interdigitated electrodes.
Among the earliest works in this engrossing survey of metal printing plates, on loan from Rome's Istituto Nazionale per la Grafica, is Giorgio Ghisi's 1549 matrix, reproducing Michelangelo's "Last Judgment".
Art people -- people who buy Art from painters who work on real canvases, sculptors who use real stone, clay, wood, plastic and metals, print makers who make real prints on real paper -- are people who buy and read fine art magazines.
