Chainmail Dress

cults3d

This is my entry for this year's Port Townsend Wearable Art Show, entitled "Modern Mermaid". It is a fully 3D printed dress, designed in OpenSCAD (see attached scad files), and entirely printed on an old Makerbot Replicator. It is modular and extensible, so you can make a dress to fit any size person and with any hemline you like. I designed this type of chainmail specifically to print easily, be lightweight, strong, and most importantly, to stretch as much as possible in order to conform to the figure of the wearer. A big thank you to my models, Ellie and Xuny!
