aRks 3D unveils their first collection of 3D printed bikinis

ARks 3D is a design studio in Sicily, Italy that has designed the first collection of 3D printed bikinis. Titled ‘Coral’, this new line of bikinis was inspired by both geometric and organic designs of the sea, and thanks to the customization offered by 3D printing, the bikinis are able to have a maximum adaptability to each body.

The people behind aRks 3D are Rosanna Romano, architect, and Samuel Palermo, the IT developer, who share a great enthusiasm for new technologies and creativity. ” Every day we discover new possibilities and new techniques, trying to meet the needs of our “customers,” said Samuel and Rosanna to Filo Diretto.

Their collection of 3D printed bikinis was developed using 3D printing technologies, focusing on products that respect nature. To accomplish this, aRks 3D uses PLA printing, a common material in the 3D printing industry that is environmentally safe as it is biodegradable and compostable. To print with this material, they used their Sharebot 3D Next Generation printer, which uses FDM or FFF technology. To add a bit of comfort, they included cotton inserts, making their piece comfortable, environmentally safe and customizable.
