Photos- See What a 3D-Printed Swimsuit Looks Like

In a futuristic fashion project tiyou thd Waves , Nadir Gordon, a student at the Universidad de Palermo, designed groundbreaking new swimwear that’s a fascinating combination of style and sculpture.

The design, which looks like a one-piece suit, is actually a 14-piece unit that can only be pulled off in the 3-D space. Printed on a MakerBot Replicator 2 3-D printer, the outfit took between 70 and 90 hours to print. Then, the parts were fused together with a soldering iron, with
the help of Jonathan Guerra, a 3-D generalist based in Panama City, Panama.

The design was inspired by the concept of waves, their constant motion and how they crash against the sea’s surface and coastlines, the swimsuit captures the action of waves and the juxtaposing emotions – such as
“peace and fierceness” – that they introduce, according to Gordon.

While the model during the photo shoot said the swimsuit was comfortable, the design wasn’t completely functional, as several parts broke from each other and had to be re-soldered. "Based on said experiment, we envision continuing to develop more garments that [are able to be] used on a daily basis, pieces that are functional and allow
movement to the wearer,” Gordon told 3DPrint.com.
