The items created by Anthony Seebaran of the 3D Print Forge are a collector’s dream.

Anthony brought his items to the vendors’ and farmers’ market at Keogh Park in Tottenham on Sunday, August 10.

His work is amazing, and all of it is created by a 3D printer. Anthony’s collection includes everything from lizards and dinosaurs to action figures and cartoon characters.

Created with great detail and vivid colours, they represent hours of work, starting with a computer design that sends the information to the printer.

Anthony had a friend who owned a 3D printer, and he was astounded by what it could create.

“He had a 3D printer and he showed it to me,” Anthony explained. “I decided to do it and figured I could sell pieces at markets.”

It’s a drawn-out process to create each character.

“You get a model and load it into software called a slicer… which divides the object into layers. Each item is created and printed in layers, one layer at a time,” Anthony explained. 

The printer switches colours on the fly as it works. The colours are created during the printing process, not added after the printing process is completed.

“The time to produce each model depends on the colour and design,” Anthony noted. “Some pieces can take five days to produce, depending on the colour changes and the detail. Some small items I can print four at a time in different colours.”

Anthony sells his items at different markets around the region. He gets his inspiration by paying attention to popular culture and movies, which gives him a gauge of what people are interested in.

“I pay attention to movies and cartoons, and things like that,” Anthony explained. “When my son was young, we used to see the Minion movies and things like that –– it’s easy to see when a character is popular.”

His pieces are real works of art.

Some are practical and can be used as toys, while others are more likely to be placed on a shelf with other collectibles.
