What we’ve done is create a scalable, waste-free alternative to conventional plastic sequins and beading—and the possibilities from here feel wide open.
Because 3D printing is additive by nature, only the material that’s needed is used. No excess. No scraps. And according to the European Commission, by 2050 additive manufacturing could save up to 90% of the raw materials used in traditional manufacturing.
3D printing embellishments gives us the freedom to customize color or style, reduce waste, and produce more responsibly. We only need to produce what’s ordered, and we can significantly reduce some of the waste in the production process.. As more recycled and biodegradable filaments become available, that impact will only grow!.
For me, sustainability isn’t about following a trend—it’s inherent in the brand and my personal values. When designing, I’m always thinking through a sustainable lens. Innovation doesn’t replace tradition, it builds on it. And this feels like a meaningful step toward what the future of embellishment can be.
