3D printed letterpress machines: Stampomatica

Stampomatica is a project developed by Italian people at Tecnificio and Lino’s Type letterpress and presented for the first time at Maker’s Faire Rome 2013. Using cutting-edge 3D printing technology for their manufacture, the mini serie of analogic micro-machines is made to print business cards and postcards. Stampomatica is a powerful expression of digital manufacturing that joined the memory of movable type printing with the DIY attitude; it’s the meeting point between past and future, vintage and innovation: a self-commissioned project that allows everyone  to approach to traditional printing techniques rediscovering their charm and potential.
