Fans of the popular cult Netflix series “Emily in Paris” have eagerly awaited the next season. Season 4 was released in August and there has been much discussion about the happenings in the life of Emily and her friends. However, the showstopper was the 3D printed Comete bag that brings a unique blend of fashion and technology.
The bag is the result of a collaboration between designer Laura Deweilde and engineer Thomas Batigne (cofounder of Lynxter).
Lynxter, a silicone 3D printer manufacturer headquartered in France carried out the 3D printing of silicone flowers and grape anthocyanins of this bag. The fine printing of the floral details was done using the company’s S300X and they were later integrated into the new leather design.
Unveiled in 2022, the S300X is the second 3D printer developed by Lynxter. First described as a good production candidate for medical and industrial grade silicones and polyurethanes, the compact 3D printer allows hollowing and the variation of infill rates to render parts lighter or modify their properties (reduce hardness, add resistance, better damping, from anisotropy to the printed part, etc). It is the first time that it is used in a textile application.
The creator and designer of tech fashion brand Incxnnue, Laura Deweilde states: “For this new creation, the idea was to work with more organic forms with floral inspiration. Reflecting on a floral pattern I had previously modeled, I wanted to push further in creativity and experimentation. By collaborating with Thomas, we were able to transform this exciting and innovative project. With Lynxter, merging the organic design with a more pure and architectural form was a beautiful challenge successfully achieved for this creation, particularly with studied research and assembly of this new bag.”
A procode dress was created using Additive Manufacturing to facilitate sustainable fashion. 3D printing can usher in sustainability to reduce CO2 emissions in designer shoe production. 3D-printed Comete bag for “Emily in Paris” balanced engineering and design resulting in a visually stunning fashion.
