Dita Von Teese has unveiled the world’s first fully articulated dress produced with a 3D printer.

The gown was designed by Michael Schmidt and Francis Bitonti and revealed at the the Ace Hotel in New York.

Created with the help of Shapeways, a company which lets designers sell objects which are printed on demand with industrial-scale 3D printers, the dress is based on the Fibonacci sequence of numbers.

Shapeways said:

“The gown was assembled from 17 pieces, dyed black, lacquered and adorned with over 13,000 Swarovski crystals to create a sensual flowing form.”

It took thousands of components to fit the dress perfectly to Dita’s body, the company added.
