3D PRINTING IN HOUSE AND HOW IT HELPS ACCESSORY EMERGENCY DEVELOP BETTER DESIGNS

Yes! Accessory Emergency has its own prototyping robot, it’s a beautiful UP BOX  3D printer and it allows us to play around with ideas visually and mechanically before going to manufacturing. 

 It’s a great way to play and nut things out before proceeding to the next stage, manufacturing is fraught with little problems especially when your doing it yourself, but we've come up with quite a few proprietary solutions for things with the 3D printing process that we would have taken allot longer to discover without it, this is great because it means we have much less waste, more time, and have shelved many things simply because they didn't cut the mustard at the prototyping stages.  

Check out these little experiments created with a 3d printed tool , and cast silicone, and also a silicone tool made from a 3D Printed master model. 

TOTALLY EXCELLENT TOTES

     These are some tote bags we've been working on. These are all very handmade complete with anomalies, but they are all super strong double stitched and lined , and they all use quality reclaimed fabrics from end of roll, local thrift stores or garments that are damaged.. Also all the bits a pieces from the cut graphics are also reused in the designs, its a fun serendipitous form of collage which highlights the negative and positive shapes within the design. This process also insures that no to bags are alike. 

 A few of our very special customers have been receiving these sporadically, we hope they will used excessively and much loved.  We love this because its a  great way to package our products with something that is up-cycled but also functional and reusable.

These are fast becoming collectors items as they cannot be bought, and arrive as a special surprise with your purchase.
