3D Printing in Fashion
The 3D printing revolution leaves no industry untouched as it finds its way to the fashion world. What’s even more interesting is the fact that the uses of 3D printing for the fashion industry goes beyond the technological advances in manufacturing, which has seen the development of high-powered sewing machines for mass production and state-of-the-art laser cutters for creating intricate pieces of clothing.
With the introduction of this technology, the fashion industry has seen shorter lead times for designers, as well as an easier way to personalize clothing items and accessories, and the ability to produce them in smaller quantities. In fact, 3D-printed items have done the rounds in the New York Fashion Week and the Paris Fashion Week, and other prestigious fashion events. If the world’s most popular runways approve of 3D printing for fashion, then digitally printed clothing and accessories will continue making a mark in the industry, anywhere in the world—and the Philippines is no exception.
