The YKK x Variloom composite puller is a collaboration that brings together YKK’s expertise in fasteners and Variloom’s on-demand 3D print-to-shape fabrication system. This partnership makes possible customizable composite slider pullers without the need for molds or high MOQs, bringing customization to brands in a more accessible way. With Variloom’s unique, patent-pending, and recyclable material along with its 3D printing process, YKK can achieve puller design details that are difficult to replicate with traditional injection molding, such as detailed lattice and textile structures, tighter tolerances, and thin, flexible forms with grip. These 3D printed composite pullers can be customized for function and aesthetics including shape, texture, attachment style, color and logo—bringing a world of new possibilities to brands and designers for custom, flexible, and functional pullers. The 3D printed puller attachments are recyclable and made from a blend of bio-based thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) and proprietary natural additives and fibers
