3D-printed cube among Singapore's contributions to art gallery heading to the moon

The cube, named Structure & Reflectance, is smaller than a standard dice - measuring 0.98 cm on each side - with four of its faces each depicting a unique series of patterns.

The 3D-printed cube was a collaboration between local artist and designer Lakshmi Mohanbabu and Assistant Professor Matteo Seita from the Nanyang Technological University’s School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. The patterns seen on each face of both cubes were recreated from Lakshmi's paintings, which revolve around the concepts of unity, diversity and complexity in humankind, she told The Straits Times in an exclusive interview.

"However, we soon realised that there is a clear parallel between materials and people, in that they are both made of very complex - and mostly hidden structures," he noted. Each patterned face of the cube, which is made of stainless steel, consists of two distinct crystals with different orientations, and a shape that mimics Lakshmi's artwork.
