S-pin a Web 3D Printed Bobby Pins

Use these little spiders to pull and twist pieces of hair into a web... just don't let it get too tangled... 

We use recyclable spring steel and biodegradable plastic to make these fun accessories. These will glow in the dark best after being charged in the sun, but you can also use a LED light or cell phone light to see the effect. 

How it's made:

3D printing is a process for forming physical objects from a computer generated model. This method of additive manufacturing is done by successively adding material layer by layer.

The material we use is PLA or polylactic acid. PLA is a biodegradable and bioactive polyester that derives from renewable resources, such as corn starch, cassava roots, or sugarcane.

There are numerous possibilities for 3D printing, including prosthetics, machinery, medical models. At R+D we like to make designs with an eye towards fun kitsch.
