Exporting to more than 20 countries in the world, MGX operates both as a supplier of manufacturing excellence and a design company mastering its own concepts and brand. Apart from its in-house products, it provides solutions in all types of fields such as design, art, architecture, interiors, fashion, beauty & cosmetics. Materialise has benefited from the most renowned rapid prototyping services. As worldwide leader in this field especially in the applications and solutions found in medicine, dentistry and the automotive industry, Materialise decided strategically to broaden its competencies to the design world.

The quite recently born label ‘Materialise.MGX’ is confidently going beyond tooling and digital CAD software by combining art and technology to an already well-established company experience.

"Uvula"

I found some very disturbing pictures when I googled the word Uvula. However disturbing, they are informative and I believe only add onto the feelings we connote for the "dangley thing" hanging in the back of all of our mouths.

The oral stage is the first in psychosexual development and believed by some to carry on into the later of our lives. All of our pleasure is gained through the mouth in this stage, and I too believe it doesn't stop there. We protect our mouths, we put makeup on our mouths, we pierce, we kiss, we eat, we talk and we breath through our mouths. Contained in all these is an excitement and a celebration.

I want to take all of those things that our mouths and their parts do and try to convey the word Uvula (which is also just cool to say) on a deeper level.



Here is the uvula and some close-ups of human skin:
