Belt Buckles Progress Via 3D Printing

[Brian_Krassenstein]

When Italian belt designer Scunzani commissioned a series of belt buckles from Studio MHOX, they knew they weren’t going to get a run of the mill product. They weren’t disappointed by MHOX’s production of a series of 20 buckles, designed to be 3D printed, that combined the aesthetics of the natural with the latest in additive manufacturing technology. Working with CRP Group to produce the buckles is just the latest in a collaborative relationship between the designers at MHOX and the materialization expertise of CRP who honed their skills producing parts of aerospace and motor-sports before turning their attention to the high fashion needs of MHOX.

looks nice - but damn it'd be uncomfortable to wear. You could perforate yourself just by bending over or sitting down.
