This saw Ski Deal enlist the help of two European large format print services – Italian advertising agency, SismaItalia, and French-based, METROPOLE, in partnership with Marie 3D – to produce a range of larger-than-life 3D printed winter sport accessories.
These boots are made for… selfies!
Produced on the companies’ Massivit 1800 3D Printers, the models included a pair of oversized goggles, a helmet, a full-size snowboard, and the main attraction – a gigantic ski boot – which featured prominently on social media after hundreds of visitors chose to climb inside for a selfie or two!
Measuring 2.2m-long and 2.3m-high (7.2ft x 7.5ft), the realistic ski boot comprised two pieces and was produced within just 38-hours. Once the gloss finish was applied, the lifelike boot was ready to be transported by cable car to its final destination – 3000m / 1.9 miles above ground level, to steal the limelight.
Organized by ski-focused travel agency, Ski Deal, this week-long festival aims to provide avid skiers and snowboarders with a European winter sport and entertainment experience, this year located in Sella Ronda, Italy.
