How Do You 3D Print Scars?

Cicatrici was first of all a beautiful journey of wonderful encounters, to discover a new world. Together, B.LIVE and + LAB, we explored the folds of the soul, making them three-dimensional, visible and tangible. We reasoned about beauty imperfection, rediscovering them as sisters and friends, united, sometimes, by the We looked at the stigma in the face, overcoming it.

Four kilos of plastic, one and a half kilometers of filaments, more than a thousand hours of modeling, and over seven hundred of 3D printing. Figures that alone return the amount of commitment and the amount of work that made it possible to materialize the thought of the forty-two people who decided to share this path.

"Can this be done?" they all asked. “Sure you can. Don't limit yourself, tell me what you imagine and together let's see how to do it ”replied Giuditta during the reviews, because our much loved 3D printing has allowed everyone to fly high with their imagination. She is the great technological protagonist thanks to which we have been able to give life to our ideas, shape our pains and color our emotions.

It was great satisfaction to see some of the boys work on their own model and digitally sculpt their ideas, eliminating the interpretation of the third person, thus making them even more original.
