Binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. Catalog for the exhibition "Bruce Beasley: 3D Printed Sculpture" held at The Autodesk Gallery, San Francisco, October 29, 2013 - February 7, 2014. Documents the Coriolis series, a body of work Beasley produced using Autodesk software and Stratasys 3D printing technology, in which a four-inch-wide polygonal bar is digitally curved and twisted into self-intersecting ribbon forms before being printed in acrylonitrile butadiene styrene.

Guggenheim Museum, the National Museum of American Art, the Musee d'Art Moderne in Paris, the National Art Museum of China, and over thirty other institutions, contributes an essay on his transition from cast-bronze and acrylic monoliths to digitally generated and printed forms.
