Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, he wasn’t able to go out into the world all that much this year and settled for recreations of virtual video game worlds instead. Riccobene is known for this kind of work, as his usual day-to-day often involves using real-world data to recreate locations as to-scale “data sculptures”. Printed using a Prusa i3 MK3 FFF system, the map was produced in a series of 24 individual tiles before being assembled into its final form. Product designer Dom Riccobene has 3D printed a miniature physical replica of the entire Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) map in a project that took him over 400 hours from start to finish. Who do you think should make the shortlists for this year’s show? Have your say now. The nominations for the 2021 3D Printing Industry Awards are now open.
