Can you imagine this with LEDs embedded in the material? Check out how the material, once printed, gets draped (simulation.)

Yeah - i saw this stuff earlier and my head started churning.
I’m >this< close to breaking down and ordering a sample bracelet just to see how the thing works …
Too bad it’s not like Lego’s where you can snap together and make your own shapes.
I don’t think LEGOs would work so well though. The whole tessallation process will produce different shapes of different sizes so the end product can indeed flow the way it does. Would be harder to do with fixed shapes.
There’s always a way, it’s just a matter of are you smart enough to figure it out. I want to get my hands on a 3D printer, do you use one?
