Sarah C. Awad and Dhemerae Ford are a couple of digital
artists from New York City who are taking the nail care industry by storm. Calling themselves, “The Laser Girls” they
have begun creating artificial fingernails using a 3D Printer. The nails are printed with an adhesive back,
so they can be applied quickly and easily, and last quite some time.
One of the biggest benefit to their 3D printed nails is that
they make it possible to create nails with unique patterns that aren’t
otherwise possible. Using both detailed
patterns, and depth on the nails it is possible to create entirely new looks
that can’t be done using acrylic and nail polish alone.
The Laser Girls can print off the nails and either apply
them directly, or ship them to customers around the world. They sell their nails through an online
‘shapeways’ shop (you can view it HERE).
This is one more example of how 3D printing is changing just
about every industry imaginable, and how it will continue to do so long into
the future.
