Multiple prints of the orchid are easily transformed into a stunning lei. To achieve this, the orchids are first 3D-printed using TPU, allowing their stems to be designed with flexibility and versatility, enabling them to bend and curve into a beautiful necklace shape. Next, the orchids are printed with PVA, which dissolves after it has served its purpose. Once the PVA is fully dissolved, some of the orchids are submerged in vibrant purple Rit dye, resulting in a breathtakingly colorful creation.
