The research for the 3D printed Venus Dress is based on the analysis of the deep sea sponge, also known as Venus’ flower basket. The woven net-like structure grows based on environmental influences and adapts to its surroundings, influenced by light and water currents. The 3D-printed dress is a woven tessellated matrix generated from a point-cloud, mapped based on characteristics and dimensions of the wearer. The dress is also reactive to the wearer, where heat-mapping technology was used to highlight emotions in a person.
