L’impression 3D

Thingiverse - Digital Designs for Physical Objects N12 3D Printed Bikini Developed in partnership with Continuum Fashion, the N12 is the first fully 3D printed Bikini, ready to wear and available for purchase from the Conitnuum's Shapeways Shop. Designed by Continuum Fashion, the N12 if the first completely 3D-printed, ready-to-wear, item of clothing. Previous experiments into the use of 3D printing in clothing have remained purely experimental, haute couture items not available to purchase. This represents the first affordable design that will lead the way for more items fabricated using 3D printing technologies. “The bikini's design fundamentally reflects the beautiful intricacy possible with 3D printing, as well as the technical challenges of creating a flexible surface out of the solid nylon. The N12 is named after Nylon 12 (WSF), the material in which the bikini is 3D printed. The N12 was designed using Rhino 3D CAD software and specially written algorithmic script to create the structure of the 3D printed fabric.
