3D Printing New Breakthrough In Plastic Clothing: Free Swing And Shake

According to foreign media reports, a design studio named Nervous System has made a new achievement. 3D printing The clothes made of plastic are free to wobble and shake like real fabrics. The research uses a customized software called Kinematics, which combines the latest 3D printing technology with origami technology to achieve new breakthroughs in science and technology.

stay Make clothes Kinematics did not stitch the existing fabric as traditionally. clothes Instead, it first establishes a 3D model of clothing in the CAD program, and then decomposes the model into several triangular patches with different sizes. With a JavaScript based design tool, the designer can freely control the size, location, and number of these triangles and preview the impact of each change on the shape of the garment. After the designer is satisfied, the relevant algorithm will add hinges to these triangular fragments, connect them together, and at the same time reduce the size of the finished products as much as possible, so that the printing process will be smoother. In general, the volume of finished products can be compressed to 15% of the original.

The 3D printing process took two days in a 3D printing company called Spaceways. After printing, a dusty plastic "boulder" was born in an industrial 3D printer. Technicians will remove dust from plastic surfaces as archaeologists dig ancient clothes. Then, people will wash and dye these plastics, and finally make them into a skirt made of interlinked plastic sheets. Skirts can be made white or black.
