Loop is a multi faceted mass customization service.
It Provides an outlet for local and global brands to provide closed loop mass customization to consumers. As well as enabling small scale designers the opportunity to create customisable design solutions for existing products and custom products.
Loop utilises 3D printing technology to create a sustainable, made to order manufacturing system. When 3D printing is used as an alternative manufacturing solution it enables mass customization through flexibility of production lines, the ability to use environmentally friendly closed loop materials, and the ability of a single type of machine to use different materials, and create different aesthetic and structural outcomes.
Loop aims to accelerate the commercialization of mass customization, creating a beneficial alternative to mass produced products. Uniting consumers, brands, and designers around the idea of modular designs, environmentally sustainable materials, and closed loop economic systems.
Loop is most easily understood when divided into 4 sections - Community, Customize, Manufacturing and Recycling.
