From the latest attempts of two pioneer designers in the Netherlands and the UK, see 3D technology at the time

The 3D printing technology that was regarded by some scholars as the third industrial revolution first appeared in 1984. This technology has made great progress in the past 35 years and has begun to penetrate more into the fashion field. Its advantages are to reduce resource waste, shorten product production cycle and save money.

Dutch designer Anouk Wipprecht works with Intel, AutoDesk, Google, Microsoft, Cirque du Soleil, Audi, Swarovski and 3D printing company Materialize to study how to continue to apply 3D technology to apparel in the future. Design and production. Her work includes Synapse dresses for brainwave monitoring, Smoke Dress, Intimacy 2.0, 3D printed clothing for Cirque du Soleil, and Fergie at the Super Bowl in 2011. clothes.

Anouk Wipprecht's most praiseworthy is the "Smart Spider Dress" developed by Intel Edison. This product combines fashion with robotics and wearable technology to allow the wearer to express their emotions and share their feelings. The dress has a built-in breath sensor and distance sensor that can be used to detect changes based on biosignal threats. If the user is short of breath, or if the external object is approaching too fast, the "spider foot" on the garment will automatically open and protect.

British designer Cat Taylor said that in the past month, about 20 brands and designers have asked about her cooperation. For the past three years, she has focused on 3D printing design and reimagined the fashion design of fashion luxury brands such as Balenciaga, Vetements and Off-White. It is reported that she is currently working with an undisclosed sportswear company to prepare for a major project next month.

According to Cat Taylor, the motivation that initially attracted her to research the field was the gap between 3D technology and fashion. “I want to use my digital knowledge and fashion experience to build closer and more direct connections between the two worlds, and I decided to delve into this untapped field.”

Cat Taylor believes that the application of 3D technology will be one of the most promising areas of the fashion industry in 2019. The experimental content of incorporating 3D technology into fashion will increase dramatically. In addition to 3D design, she also hopes that 3D technology will reshape new interactive and sensory experiences in fashion events and fashion shows.
