Can 3D Print Fashion Shake The Status Of High-End Customization?

3D printing overcomes the dilemma of traditional design, but the problem is that it is not entirely applicable to garment making.

In the field of custom-made clothing, 3D technology gives clothing a special visual effect, and saves manpower and production costs.

But the price of such clothing is comparable to that of a custom-made garment. Not everyone can afford it, but it also loses the significance of saving money by using 3D printing.

In addition, according to the shape of the wearer, the production process is finished.

You can't make any alterations to your dress.

That is to say, when a customer gets fat or thin and so on, the garment is useless.

After all, clothing is a commodity that depends on human feelings.

When 3D ready-made garments are comfortable against natural clothing, the acceptance of consumers determines their survival rate in the market.

In the Chanel 2015 autumn and winter advanced custom fashion show, "old Buddha" Carle Lagrange played 3D printing technology.

On the Berlin international fashion week, the designer Marina Hoermanseder has launched a lock like 3D printing vest.

Lagrange takes a retro classic black coat as a model, uses 3D to print a netted rhombohedral black coat, and then manually splits the sequins, stitching and stitching leather to Chanel.

Brand new life.

Other classic suits can also be seen twill weave, through the design, create a visual 3D three-dimensional feeling.

"Our idea is to take away the most iconic twentieth Century style coat and replace it with the twenty-first Century version, which is unimaginable in the era when Chanel was just born."

Laggoff said after the performance, "the vest is all formed without sewing."

Lagrange believes that 3D printing technology is being used in more and more fields. Designers will certainly not miss this opportunity. We hope that we can make use of 3D printing technology to find more outlets for the development of high fashion. This will also become a mainstream trend gradually.

The vitality of fashion is that it always keeps pace with the times.

If it stays in the ivory tower like a sleeping beauty in the forest, you can forget it. "

He explained.

Habit of using 3D printing to achieve a fantastic idea, Holland Designer

It can be said that the best spokesperson for 3D printing is amazing.

Its characteristics are not clear. The imagination of designer Tianma action can be easily turned into reality. Exaggerated curves, crisscross crisscross lines that can not be straighten out, and grid clothes like steel are quite dazzling.

All this does not require much higher Clothing skills. As long as creativity is combined with proper three-dimensional drawing training, a set of fashionable clothes can be easily born.

However, this technology is more commonly used in accessories accessories.

Designer Kimberly Ovitz has worked with Shapeways to design jewelry using 3D printing technology and used it in her 2013 autumn and winter fashion week in New York.

United Nude, the brand of women's shoes, also specializes in the design of shoes with 3D printing technology.

Because of its technical flexibility and the architects' background of Rem D. Koolhaas, the brand always invites many famous architects or industrial designers to launch joint shoes.

Although shoes and accessories are not seasonality and modification, they also encounter problems in 3D printing technology.

First of all, nature is expensive.

United Nude has an average price of $6000 for a pair of 3D printing shoes.

One of the most closely related issues is the time cost and technical compliance of the R & D team.

When 3D printing is mature enough to cope with a large number of manufacturing needs, the fashion industry must also face other problems.

For example, 3D printing can overcome the technology that can not be finished by hand. In contrast, there is a potential risk to replace the value of traditional craftsmen.

For many brands that flaunt fine technology, if the traditional clothing technology has lost the praise of consumers, the top quality products will also lose its value virtually.
