On opening night of New York Fashion Week fifteen fashion designers, engineers and media artists unveiled their 3D printed fashion garments that they created during this year’s Computational Fashion Master Class at the Re-Making Patterns Opening. Printed by Shapeways, all of the pieces showcase how 3D printed fashion is evolving and becoming a reality
Computational Fashion Master Class is an initiative started by Eyebeam and Shapeways last year. The course is an unique opportunity for creatives from different industries to come together and develop garments that push the limits of 3D printing. Instructors and students address various design topics throughout the course, including materials and customization, that help the designers combine traditional fashion techniques and emerging technologies to create these pieces.
The exhibit is open until September 17th at South Street Seaport’s Culture District.
That’s the pros and cons of 3D printers. You can print anything and it can be used right away as long as it doesn’t haven’t anything electrical in it. My printer (http://3dprinterreviewsite.com/flashforge-3d-printer-creator-pro-review/) was able to print me toys for my children, but after trying to create headphones it became a bit more complicated.
Thanks for the article. What kind of consumer 3D printers are there on the market that print clothing? Perhaps there are none at all, yet?
