Mixing 3D Printing And Sculpture With Real World Objects

*Amazing* Think of the cool surreal sculptures street artists could do with this technique - we'll be discovering art in all sorts of unexpected places, scratching our heads mumbling 'Lego? It's not... is it?". Banksy could do some superb thought provoking stuff that would turn everyday objects into priceless pieces, if he can find strong enough glue. At last, stone masons can accurately fix brickwork and statues, replacing missing limbs, heads other bits on ancient artifacts, but that's boring. 3D print Terminator's robotic hand and stick it on Nelson, add a double bass instead of a bow for Eros and of course, a massive 99 ice cream cone complete with Cadbury flake for Liberty, that's more like it. Cue advertisers..
