Hello readers.
So
today, I would like one interesting fashion technology with all of you. Have
you ever heard about 3D PRINTING? It is so interesting when it is called 3D
PRINTING. It is because, it is so unique and beautiful. From the research I have
found, 3D PRINTING GARMENTS have become a collective vision in the Haute
Couture catwalks of designers as the example, Dutch fashion designer Iris Van
Herpen. I have a few example of 3D PRINTING that I will sharing with all of you. I
love the 3D effect on those dress. As the example, scroll downwards because I have attach the picture of
those dresses.
Example:
1. Hybrid Holism Dress

Hybrid Holism Dress is one of the product have been produce
by the use of 3D PRINTING technology. The dress is part of the 'Hybrid Holism'
Collection Autumn Winter 2012/2013 and was produced in collaboration with
Materialize, Belgium. A Technique was introduced referred to as 'Mammoth Stereo
lithography' which is a method of 3D printing. This 3D printed process built
the piece slice by slice from bottom to top, in a vessel of polymer that
hardens when struck by a laser beam. The Material of the Dress is almost
translucent and appears in different honey colored shades dependent on the
light condition. The design reveals a combination of highly complex
para metrically generated geometrical structures, almost growing as a second
skin on the body, and organic digital leaf formations creating enticing and
enigmatic effects.

For this dress, the designer which is Iris Herpen use Materialise's flexible for 3D Printing which is TPU 92A-1 which she used to great effect
for her Voltage Haute Couture show. For the Biopiracy
Collection, Iris and Julia worked together on a design that successfully pushed
the limits of what both TPU 92A-1 and Laser Sintering which is the process used
to print this dress with Materialise’s Magics software being used to optimize
the design for the 3D Printing process and ensure a successful outcome. The
result was then coated in silicon by Iris’s team to give the flowing, flexible
dress a glossy sheen. Given the intricacy and movement of the design on the
catwalk, the dress is a testament to how far 3D Printing materials and
technology have progressed.
3. Voltage Dress

Voltage printed dresses the designer used a material named as TPU 92A-1 and 3D- printing process called laser splintering This is a
powder based printing technique and allows for flexibility in the material,
which performs almost like a textile material. The Voltage dress was the first
fashion piece ever printed with flexible material in 2013.
Hope you enjoy with my post today.Stay tuned for the next posting.
With love, Khal ♡
