This model is a reinterpretation of the Batman logo created as string art, but brought into the world of 3D printing.

I've developed a program that can automatically create string art from any image, generating a full 3D model with optimized string paths. This Batman logo was entirely generated using that tool.

🎨 What is traditional string art?

String art is a technique where threads are tensioned between pins arranged on a surface, forming shapes, gradients, and visual patterns through the overlapping of lines. Traditionally, the process involves hammering small nails into a board and weaving thread between them.

🖨️ How do you make “string art” with a 3D printer?

In 3D printing, the “threads” are created using bridges. The printer extrudes filament through the air between two points, forming tensioned lines that replicate the look of real string art. With enough overlapping bridges, an image gradually appears within the frame.

This model prints without supports, and the line pattern is calculated so the printer creates clean, well-tensioned bridges.
