We have also been working with Julia for a long time, and this project was a collaborative effort where both sides were able to provide expertise from their own fields.” Admire Queen Ramonda’s crown and mantle for yourself by watching Black Panther!

Materialise has honed its expertise in the different 3D printing technologies and materials over the years, and it was this knowledge which allowed us to come up with the perfect solution for Julia’s design. Valerie Vriamont, Project Manager at Materialise, added “The fact that we could pick and choose options from our extensive Factory for 3D Printing made this project a real success. “Materialise’s reliability and ability to deliver complex geometries within tight schedules makes them a great partner, and what makes these partnerships extra special is our ability to continuously learn from each other and ultimately push the boundaries of what’s possible.”

When using Polyamide 12, the resulting parts tend to be sturdy and stiff, making it (at first glance) an unusual choice of material for a design which required a degree of flexibility. Once the first layer is done, a second layer is added and so on, until the part has been completely built up.

Laser Sintering is a 3D printing technology where a part is produced by melting together a layer of powder particles with a laser. At our Factory for 3D Printing, the wide range of available technologies and materials gave us free rein to explore the best fit for Julia’s designs.Īfter trying out a few different options, we suggested Laser Sintering the pieces with Polyamide 12 powder. The crown and mantle needed to look perfect and fit perfectly – so not only the design was important, but also the selection of the 3D printing technology and the material. As experts in 3D printing technology, Materialise was Julia’s additive manufacturing partner of choice when it came to making the costume. Materialise has a long history of collaboration with Julia, dating back from groundbreaking projects with industrial designer Ross Lovegrove and fashion designer Iris van Herpen.
