Title: The role of 3D printing in original printmaking and graphic production.
Authors: Armutcı, Bayram1 bayram.armutci@bilecik.edu.tr

Abstract: This study explores the functional role of 3D printers in original printmaking, a graphic production technique. Traditional methods like linocut, engraving, and intaglio have limited integration with modern digital manufacturing technologies. This research examines how 3D printers can be effectively combined with these techniques. The main goal is to show how 3D printing can be integrated into the printmaking process and what benefits it brings to design and production. The study focuses on converting digitally designed models into physical printing plates via 3D printing, highlighting how this enables the creation of complex surfaces and detailed forms difficult to achieve traditionally. This offers designers both creative freedom and technical advantages. Additionally, the research discusses how digital design and customization of printing plates and stencils improve flexibility, speed, and cost-efficiency in printmaking. Especially in linocut and engraving, the precision, scalability, and detail of 3D printing introduce new production paradigms. In conclusion, the study shows that 3D printers are not only technical tools but also creative elements transforming graphic production in original printmaking, providing artists and designers new opportuni- ties to exceed traditional boundaries and expand artistic expression.
