When 3D Technology Paves the Way for the Made-in-Vietnam Dream

Can you imagine hundreds of shoes transforming into a majestic, contemporary Vietnamese dragon? It wasn’t just a bold idea but also a challenging project—where 3D technology from 3D Smart Solutions turned the impossible into reality. This article takes you behind the scenes of the inspiring journey to create the “Contemporary Vietnamese Dragon” model from 420 pairs of Biti’s shoes—a powerful statement of pride and innovation made in Vietnam.

When 3D Technology Paves the Way for the Made-in-Vietnam Dream

Challenges for 3D Smart Solutions

To bring the unique vision of Biti’s and 8K Creative to life, 3D Smart Solutions had to overcome a series of tough challenges:

  • Uniqueness and complexity: The dragon model demanded meticulous craftsmanship, fluidity, and the ability to capture the spirit of a sacred creature.
  • Special materials: Creating the model from 420 pairs of Biti’s shoes was not just about the number—it was a challenge in handling, connecting, and maintaining the stability of such unconventional materials.
  • Absolute precision: Every single detail, no matter how small, had to be perfectly recreated while staying true to the original design intent.

A Breakthrough Solution by 3DS

Faced with these challenges, 3D Smart Solutions introduced a breakthrough solution—combining cutting-edge technology with limitless creativity.

3D printing became the key. Instead of costly and time-consuming traditional methods, 3D printing made it possible to bring even the most complex designs to life with exceptional accuracy and unmatched speed.

Implementation Steps

Design & Digitization
Starting from the initial ideas and sketches, 3DS experts designed and built the dragon model in 3D software—capturing every detail down to each scale and claw.
Fragmentation & Optimization
Because of its large and complex structure, the model was divided into multiple segments to optimize the printing process and ensure precision during assembly.
3D Printing
Using an industrial 3D printing system, each segment was printed layer by layer—much like building a structure brick by brick.
Assembly & Finishing
The printed segments were post-processed and then precisely assembled to form the complete dragon model.
formlabs form 3
To ensure the Vietnamese Dragon model achieved maximum refinement and sharpness, 3D Smart Solutions utilized SLA 3D printing technology with the Formlabs Form 3 printer.
High Precision
Smooth Surface Finish
Versatile Materials

Key Benefits of the Solution
