From HuffPo UK:
Dita Von Teese has unveiled the world's first fully articulated dress produced with a 3D printer.
The gown was designed by Michael Schmidt and Francis Bitonti and revealed at the the Ace Hotel in New York.
Created with the help of Shapeways,
a company which lets designers sell objects which are printed on demand
with industrial-scale 3D printers, the dress is based on the Fibonacci
sequence of numbers.
Shapeways said:
"The gown was assembled from 17 pieces, dyed black, lacquered and
adorned with over 13,000 Swarovski crystals to create a sensual flowing
form."...MORE
DVICE is reporting:
Contrary to other reports, this 3D-printed dress is not the first of its kind. (Freedom of Creation made one back in 2006.)
However, it is the first one to be designed on an iPad and sport over
13,000 Swarovski crystals.* It's also specifically made for Burlesque
dancer Dita Von Teese, meaning it won't fit your body no matter how hard you try to squeeze into it....MORE
I'm betting it is the first 3D printed dress based on the Fibonacci sequence.
