Portuguese 3D printing company Diverte has taken on a project to preserve the country's historical dress in an unusual way - by 3D printing it. The Printed Traditions project utilizes 3D scanning and printing to create detailed representations of the traditional fashion of one region in particular: Viano do Castelo, where Diverte is based. Meticulously designed, printed and painted, the costume-wearing figurines created by Diverte have just been officially certified as national cultural heritage and are now part of Museu Nacional do Traje's permanent exhibition. They can also be purchased - and the company offers a customization service, in which customers can order figurines of themselves in traditional dress.
