3 Boyutlu Baskı Çiçek: Formasupra'nın Dijital Zanaat Hikayesi

Formasupra 3D Printed Bookmark For a long time, the 3D printing world was dominated by monochrome, prototype-like designs. However, technology is rapidly evolving, and now we can produce our designs with full-color prints without needing brushes or paint. This method, called "multicolor 3D printing in a single print," transforms the colorful world of the digital realm into physical reality, layer by layer. So, how exactly does this fascinating process work, and what changes i

Introduction: The Material Revolution and Sustainability in 3D Printing 3D printing technologies (additive manufacturing) have fundamentally changed the way design brands perceive production, from prototyping to final product manufacturing. Today, production practices are converging with generative algorithms and digital fabrication, and the choice of materials is evolving to keep pace with this technological advancement. The design world is no longer just concerned with "for

An inspiring invitation where gastronomy and digital craft meet at Snob Collector... An Artistic Table in Chef Ferhat Bora's Flavor Architecture At the dinner hosted by Snob Collector, refined gastronomy and Formasupra's digital craft met at the same table... Opening its doors within PG Art Gallery, "Snob Collector" hosted a very special dinner where flavor transformed into art. The star of the evening was Chef Ferhat Bora, who reinterpreted our traditional taste memory with

Our first interview, in which we detailed the philosophy behind Formasupra, our production practice, and our vision, has met its readers in the Winter 2025-2026 issue of Hillsider magazine! Stepping out of our studio in Tarlabaşı, this conversation where we explain how we blend the archaeological heritage of the past with today's digital production tools holds a very special place for us. We now want to share the story of Formasupra, which was born as a brand-new extension of

The cinema screen is the first place where the thick wall between the digital and the physical was torn down. Even before 3D printing technology reached its massive industrial dimensions of today, directors and writers had already designed that magical moment when an idea "solidifies" and falls into our hands. However, reducing the topic merely to plastics (PLA or ABS) melting on our desks would be underestimating the point this digital craft has reached. The representation o

The journey of 3D printing technology is simply fascinating. Starting in the 1980s with those first fragile prototypes shaped by lasers in resin pools (SLA), this adventure pushes the boundaries of our imagination today. While we used to settle for rough, uniform plastics in the past; today we can print antique-looking sculptures with wood-dust infused filaments, manufacture aerospace parts with carbon fiber, and even talk about producing human tissue through bioprinting in l

Hakan Sorar ve Ahmet Rüstem Ekici, 2025 - Fotoğraf Deniz Tapkan Cengiz The artist duo Ahmet Rüstem Ekici and Hakan Sorar are introducing FormaSupra, their digital craft brand where they reinterpret the forms of the past using the technology of the future. The brand's highly anticipated first collection will meet the art and design world at a special launch party held at Snob Collector by PG Art Gallery on Tuesday evening, June 17th. Following the launch, the collection will b

Perhaps you have seen it in a movie or encountered it as a design marvel. So, what exactly is this 3D printing technology that seemingly creates objects out of thin air? How did it emerge, what has it added to our lives, and what awaits us in the future? Let's take a brief journey into the depths of this layered world. It All Started with an Idea: A Brief History of 3D Printing The foundations of 3D printing actually date back to the 1980s. Using a technique called "Stereolit

Have you ever wondered how a form or pattern thousands of years old can be brought back to life with today's latest technologies? Istanbul-based design studio FormaSupra pursues precisely this question, creating a world that pushes the boundaries of art, design, and technology. So, who is behind this exciting adventure, and what does FormaSupra offer us? Who is FormaSupra: A Quest Beyond Form FormaSupra was born from the shared vision of artist duo Ahmet Rüstem Ekici and Haka

Those who remember our early days in the world of 3D printing know that desktop production was for a long time confined to "a single color and a single spool." Yet our imagination was never monochrome. Today, multi-color and multi-material 3D printing technologies have radically changed design processes, transforming our studios into miniature production factories. Let's take a look together at this colorful journey, from the painstaking trials of the past to the high-speed,
