From Top to Transformation — Bruno Tognin, a pioneer in 3D-printed fashion, partners with Balena to reimagine what’s possible with BioCir® Flex3D—a biobased, recyclable, and compostable material. With a groundbreaking 3D-printed top, Bruno demonstrates how sustainable materials can be designed for today and recycled into tomorrow’s creations.
With BioCir® Flex3D—a biobased, recyclable, and compostable material—Bruno has crafted a truly unique 3D-printed top. But this is just the start — using his recycling machinery, he’ll transform the top into something entirely new, setting a powerful example of how BioCir® Flex3D enables designers to create, recycle, and reimagine without limits - to come in 2025.
BioCir® Flex3D combines rubber-like texture with TPU-level strength and wear resistance, making it ideal for intricate, sustainable designs. Recyclable and compostable, it allows creators to close the loop, repurposing materials while maintaining performance.
For designers, 3D printing is a gateway to innovation, but it often comes with material challenges—waste from failed prints, discarded prototypes, and materials that lack sustainable end-of-life solutions. BioCir®Flex3D addresses these issues, offering a versatile, biobased material that combines flexibility, durability, and sustainability.
This material empowers creators to experiment boldly, knowing their designs can be repurposed without environmental harm. Whether for fashion, accessories, or functional prototypes, BioCir® Flex3D supports sustainable innovation without compromising on design freedom or performance.
