detail render of a customized 3D-printed ipad case, part of a collaborative project between fresh fiber and freedom of creation


electronics accessories company fresh fiber, together with industrial design agency freedom of creation,
are at work on a collaborative project to develop the first web-based tool
by which consumers can virtually sculpt their own custom products.

currently seeking funding on kickstarter, the team has designed a series of customizable 3D printed ipad cases
as their first set of prototypes. the products range from a basic ipad shell and small collapsible stands
to a hybrid model case whose back can be snapped out into one of two stands of different heights.
all are made of shock-absorbent grey nylon, and the details of their design are intended to be fully customizable.

in the project's final implementation, users would generate their designs through an online interface.
the production team would make a CAD file to implement the design,
before running the file through a 3D printer to create the custom piece.
