A PEEK INTO THE PROCESS
3D Printing
Each armor piece was custom-modeled and printed in high-resolution PLA, designed to capture the sharp angles and layered depth of Nightwing’s iconic symbol.

Sanding & Prep
Armor components were sanded smooth and gap-filled to remove any print lines or surface flaws. Edges were refined to match the comic-accurate silhouette of the suit.

Assembly & Attachment
The chest, back, and gauntlet pieces were mounted using a hidden strapping system and industrial Velcro for secure, flexible wear. The back piece flows directly from the chest plate for a seamless wraparound look, complete with a sculpted bird-head centerpiece that ties the full design together.
