Combining 3D printing, neuroscience and AI for customizable

3D printing, neuroscience and AI
CoWave brings together 3D printing, neuroscience, AI and sustainable design to create deeply personal artworks. Instead of following trends, it starts from something more fundamental: emotion. During a brief visual session, a person’s brainwaves are measured using EEG technology. This data is then translated by an AI model into a unique 3D design.
What is 3D printing?
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a production technique in which objects are created layer by layer from a digital design. Instead of removing material (as in milling or cutting), 3D printing builds an object by adding material, often plastic, metal, or concrete.
With this method, it’s possible to produce complex shapes, customized products, and prototypes quickly and efficiently. From medical implants and car parts to art and architecture, 3D printing is transforming how we design, make, and build.
How does 3D printing work?
design
3D printing starts with a digital 3D model, usually designed in computer software. This model is then sliced into hundreds or thousands of thin horizontal layers.
layer
A 3D printer reads this sliced file and builds the object layer by layer, by depositing or hardening material exactly where it’s needed. This can be done using plastic, resin, powdered metal, or even concrete.
result
The result is a physical object that precisely matches the digital design, often made in one go without the need for molds, cutting, or assembly.
3D-Print Gallery in the Koepel
Located in one of the former prison cells of the iconic Koepel (Dome) in Haarlem, the 3D-Print Gallery offers a unique glimpse into the world of 3D printing. From September 4, visitors can explore rotating exhibitions that highlight the creative and technological possibilities of 3D printing, from design pieces and architecture to industrial innovation.
Discover how digital ideas become tangible objects in this compact but inspiring space in the Koepel.
