For my final project I want to a 3D printed garment that inspired by the issue of dying corals caused by global warming. According to the The Economist Explains, roughly a fifth of all coral in the world has died in the past three years. Some experts believe that there is now just half the amount of coral that was in the oceans 40 years ago. The northern third of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef has lost more than a third of its coral since 2015.
I want to create a garment that shows the beauty of corals, and remind people to protect the ocean. I think 3D printing is the best way to create the complex texture of corals.
