MIRDC’s 3D Printing Technology Helps the Visually Impaired "See" Prints


MIRDC worked together with National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts (NTMOFA) to transform 2D print into vivid artworks through 3D printing technology. The objective of this cultural event is to assist visually impaired people to acquire more access to art and to fulfill our social responsibility.

Art museums are generally sanctuaries of art that are so close yet inaccessible to the visually impaired. One of the works that NTMOFA displayed in the special exhibition was a replica of the famous Sunset in Tamsui by painter Chen Cheng-Po, who is known as the Van Gogh of Taiwan. MIRDC was using 3D printing sand mold technology to replicate and transform the oil painting into 3D relief print which allows visually impaired people to feel the contents of the artwork with their hands, and enables them to understand the artistic values and spirit expressed by the artwork.

MIRDC is dedicated to the development of metal materials and applications, and has also conducted related studies of 3D printing sand mold equipment. Furthermore, MIRDC introduced 3D printing into metal related processes, and utilized its advantages in metal materials over the years. It hopes that this will optimize the structure of traditional industries and drive the industries' transformation and upgrade. During this collaboration with the NTMOFA, MIRDC used 3D printing sand mold technology to replicate a classic oil painting into a relief artwork, allowing the artwork can be touched by hand which aims to make visually impaired people to gain insight into the artist's purpose and intentions, and is also a new form of metal art created based on the concept of technological aesthetics.
