Design Brief

Ever wanted to 3D design something for a celebrity? Well now is your chance to not only work with totally cool Floreon 3D filament, but to design a pair of specs for the awesome Ian Wright, and win a year’s worth of filament to boot. You will also get to be one of Floreon’s 3D Ambassadors and test all their new products first before anyone else.

Who knows – Ian might even wear your specs on his next TV appearance, and they will certainly go onto the life size model of Ian's head which is being printed at the iMakr store in London.

Floreon3D is made from plants, not oils! Therefore, it is kinder to the environment and 4 x tougher than standard PLA. This means there are fewer breakages and the colour stays as vibrant after printing as it was on the spool.

Your brief is to design a pair of fun, and totally cool specs for Ian Wright – something he would be happy to be seen in around town and maybe on Match of the Day! Boot up the 3D scan of Ian’s head 3D and our Floreon glasses template files and hinge stl files to give you the best chance of making functional glasses.

Good luck!

Ian Wright:

“I am really excited to be part of the Floreon team and involved in this project. I am also excited to be 3D printed! There have been 3D printed football boots but as far as I am aware, no-one has 3D printed a life-size ex-footballer, so it will be fun to be the first. And I hope it will make people aware that there are alternatives to oil based plastics that are more than fit for purpose, and don’t harm the environment. I am delighted to support Floreon. I have a large family, and I am very passionate about creating a better future for them and everyone.”

About Floreon

Floreon is a specially formulated compound, which is added to standard bioplastic, polylactic acid (PLA) to create an innovative material with a sustainable origin and a range of end of life options.

It was created from a desire for a greener, safer form of plastic. Unhappy with the options available they decided to develop their own. After four years and a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) with the University of Sheffield a unique, environmentally friendly, fully compostable and high performing bioplastic was born.

Floreon is award winning and has global patents, more importantly than that, Floreon 3D is better for the environment, better for the 3D print fanatic and stronger and more flexible than standard 3D filaments.

Design Tips

Remember to download the designer tips PDF for essential measurements to ensure your design will fit.


Tip 1: Read the brief and Ian’s quote carefully to create a pair of glasses suited to his personality.
Tip 2: Do your research on Ian. Originality is great but ‘wearability’ might be the key to success in this!
Tip 3: Think about the colour of the frame. Colour can emphasise personality and character.
Tip 4: Test your designs on the 3D scan of Ian’s head and make sure it corresponds to the size of the lifesize scan.
Tip 5: Download the 3D scan of Ian’s head 3D to test the style and fit of your design (to be used solely for the purpose of the competition and not for redistribution use or commercial activities).
Tip 6: Key in the glasses template files and hinge stl files provided to choose a frame shape from the two templates available and the arms to match .
