Generative 3D Printed Masks

In 2013, DO THE MUTATION, an Italian two-person generative design lab developed the COLLAGENE mask editor to form customized masks for three different people. The three masks are produced by CRP GROUP with their WINDFORM materials. I like the personality of this generative 3D printing art a lot. Artists can create personal masks that fit people’s faces perfectly with the calculation of programming, as we can see from the picture, the mask fits personal face so well that it looks like sticking to the face.  This project shows the possibility of combining detailed sensor and customized arts. DO THE MUTATION created a software application COLLAGENE which was written in processing and used the Toxiclibs libraries to generate the isosurface. The artists controlled the appearance of the mask by drawing shapes and lines on the software, and the software helped to fix the position of the shapes and lines to match the specific face. After that, the 3D printer can print out the masks. Therefore, COLLAGENE combined the creation of arts and the precise data together.
