Form #2, Mask

A 3D printed mask built from a PLA and TPU three-panel shell, engineered around fiber direction and mesh tension.

The mask continues the textile fabrication tests: a simple volume built to hold a mesh inside a defined contour. Fiber direction and mesh type decide how the part tenses and deforms, so both had to be worked out at the modeling stage. The final piece has three faces, a central panel in PLA and two lateral panels in TPU, each with its own structural role.

PLA / TPU

The mask on a white bust, black petal panels edged in white curving over the face.

Three-quarter view: the black shells fold back past the temple, each seam piped in white.

From the left, an almond opening left for the eye between two folded black panels.

Head on and symmetrical, the panels meeting along a white spine down the centre.
