Belgium 3D printing company Materialise and fashin designer Melinda Looi have teamed up again to launch the 3D printed collection called “Gems of the Ocean” at 3D Print Week in New York.
Inspired by the shades of the sea and the tropic colours of coral reefs, Melinda designed a coral shoulder pice, shoes, bracelets, earrings and the “Dive into Me” gown, the highlight of her collection. 3D printed in a single part, the gown was finished with over 5,000 Swarovski crystals.
“We are committed to accelerating the implementation of 3D printing technology around the world and believe that our collaboration with Melinda Looi will help to create interest for the endless ways how 3D printing allows to break traditional product design barriers and inspire any industry to apply 3D printing in developing unique and individual designs,” said Wim Michiels, Executive Vice President Materialise Asia.
Melinda and Materials are already working on their next project by developing fashion accessories that will be available for sale.
