fusing traditional italian artisanship and technology, kobrin crafts light, resistant and unique 3D printed sunglasses. from a sketch on paper to the physical product, the realization of each frame takes several hours of full speed printing, after which it is refined by hand. the colorful ABS wearables are shaped from hundreds of layers, and accommodate polarized lenses, covered by a shining REVO mirroring and bullet-proof anti-scratch coating.

‘we’ve been fascinated by this technology since the very first time we tried it.‘ the kobrin team describe ‘our fabric is powered by makerbot, the best commercial 3d printer the market has to offer, and our products are made using top quality filaments only. the printers extrude 24/7, at full speed, hundreds of meters of filaments a day, layer after layer. boldly visible on the surface, the layers represent the 3d printer’s unique signature, setting 3d printed items apart from common, mass produced stuff.’
