FOC FOR 28Jul2011

Freedom Of Creation has been collaborating extensively with Wallpaper Magazine over the past months. First at the Milan Design week with a live 3D printing design event, which showcased 3D printing on location to hundreds of visitors.

More recently Freedom Of Creation has made a 3D printed version of the Wallpaper logo, printed with the spectacular Stereo Lithography technology, this technology utilises UV-laser beams to harden a whitish photopolymer resin.
In the aftermath of the Milan Event Wallpaper published a nice article featuring the @BitsFromBytes 3D printers we had on our stand in Milan.

FOC FOR 18Jul2011

Freedom Of Creation collaborated with Cloudfactory on a series of limited edition 3D printed design objects, which were launched at the first ever Cloudfactory pop-up store in Amsterdam.

One of the co-founders of Cloudfactory said, “They all, in their own way, invoke curiosity, originality and an element of surprise. It’s all there in the designs, whether it’s a bow-tie book, perfume bottles crafted from soap, or a wind cape to wear on your bike in the rain, which plays with the elements.” The international Cloudfactory team includes fashion designers, copywriters, product designers, technologists, business strategists, art directors, photographers, and stylists. They have collaborated together to make this first Cloudfactory Collection possible.

Dirty Clothes Monsters by By Ricardo Adolfo & Jessica Kersten

Stinky, Smudge, Smelly and Stain are best friends. They spend their time playing in the secret filthy corners of the house. One day Stain disappears and his friends set out to find him. An adventure full of escapes, forced baths and a lot of dirt. The book is published in Portuguese and English.

Silhouette collection by Liza Witte. Photography by Marcel Christ.

A collection of sophisticated perfume bottles made of black soap. The ephemeral sculptures will melt away, releasing their unique scent.

FOC FOR 15Jun2009

Making interlocking structures with 3D printing, which could eventually have the smoothness of textiles, was the brain child from Jiri Evenhuis, at FOC 2000. Making simple flat pieces was technically relative easy already back then. However, automating bullet proof software for applying these structures on any double curved surfaces and then being able to also 3D print them, is a bit of a different story. Here are some development pictures of functional coding for complex surfaces.
Development partners in this project are:
 Within and London College of Fashion.
