The 3D Printed Bikini

N12.bikini - Intro Video from Continuum Fashion on Vimeo.

The N12 bikini is the world’s first ready-to-wear, completely 3D-printed article of clothing. All of the pieces, closures included, are made directly by 3D printing and snap together without any sewing. N12 represents the beginning of what is possible for the near future.

N12 is named for the material it’s made out of: Nylon 12. This solid nylon is created by the SLS 3D printing process. Shapeways calls this material “white, strong, and flexible”, because its strength allows it to bend without breaking when printed very thin. With a minimum wall thickness of .7 mm, it is possible to make working springs and almost thread-like connections. For a bikini, the nylon is beautifully functional because it is waterproof and remarkably comfortable when wet.

Star Wars Corsets

If your looking to get that nerdy husband or boyfriend in the mood for romance maybe these Darth Vader or Storm Trooper corsets will do the trick.



Manufacturer Evening Arwen has this to say about the corsets:

"No Galactic Ruler should been seen with a purse so we've provided you with storage compartments in your utility belt, suitable for holding the keys to your starship and your communication device. Only a swishy cape can make a grand entrance really grand so we've also attached one to the matching shrug. And to finish things off, we've also provided a pair of gauntlets that can fit over most regular sized dress gloves. "This Galactic Trooper Corset Costume is for you. Comes complete with vinyl corset and sleeved shrug, utility belt with 6 storage compartments, bicep and forearm braces and shorts."
