3D Printed Dress by designer Michael Schmidt and architect Francis Bitonti
On exhibit at Swarovski Elements at Cal Mart, Los Angeles
Designed by Schmidt and generated by Bitonti,
the floor-length nylon gown was made using selective laser sintering
(SLS), where material is built up in layers from plastic powder fused
together with a laser. The rigid plastic components are fully articulated to create a netted
structure that allows for movement. Spirals based on the Golden Ratio
were applied to a computer rendering of Von Teese's body so the garment
fits her exactly. The dresswas unveiled as part of an event at the Ace Hotel in New York earlier
this week, as part of a showcase of products organised by 3D printing
marketplace Shapeways.
