Founded by Laurens Faure and Peter Schiffner, the German startup Sandhelden creates unique 3D-printed bathware from sand. From washbasins and soap dishes to bathtubs, they allow the customers to customize shape, design and color of their product – thanks to the digital manufacturing technology. With the New Year on its way, if you’re planning to renovate your bathroom, Sandhelden’s 3D-printed washbasins, soap dishes, vases, and bathtubs can be a good alternative to bring some extraordinary essence to the current space.
Each bathware item is 3D-printed from a mixture of sand and a binding agent. After the printing process, they are finished with a special coating for protection from scratches, UV-rays, and detergent. All the design specifications chosen online by a specific customer get saved to a 3D-file that’s later utilized for 3D-printing the personalized sand sink. They are offering a variety of 3D-printed washbasin designs that can be customized further.

If you wish to buy these 3D-printed washbasins, they are available within a price range of €1,129 – €1,599 at the official website.
Other than this, Sandhelden has also developed an innovative way to recycle ocean waste and turn it into a 3D printable material.
According to Schiffner;
This innovation can help us to clean the oceans, produce green products, and make the world a better place.
