Tricycle board president Werner Doyle dropped by the office today with what may very well be the world’s first Shakyamuni Buddha created by a 3D printer. He’s made from a corn-based material—and he’s rockin’ that Tricycle red!
We’ve found this video of a 3D printer making a Buddha head, but for now we’re going to claim that Tricycle is in possession of the world’s first 3D printer version of the Buddha’s whole figure. (Of course, we’re sure that it will be only a matter of time before our discerning readers prove us wrong.) Here’s to history being made!
Thank you for subscribing to Tricycle! As a nonprofit, we depend on readers like you to keep Buddhist teachings and practices widely available.
