3D printing a dress or its components involves several key steps, from design to material choice to printing. Here’s a practical breakdown of how you can go about it:
1. Choose Your Approach
There are two main ways to 3D print a dress or parts of it:
A. Fully 3D-Printed Garment (e.g., like the ones by Iris van Herpen or Nervous System)
Made entirely from 3D-printed materials.
Typically rigid or semi-flexible.
Best for couture, artistic, or experimental fashion.
B. 3D-Printed Components on Fabric
Print decorative or structural elements and attach them to fabric.
Much more wearable and flexible.
Easier for home or hobbyist setups.
2. Design the Dress / Components
Use CAD software or specialized 3D modeling tools:
Fusion 360, Blender, or Rhinoceros 3D – good for detailed modeling.
CLO3D or Browzwear – for virtual garment prototyping.
Design with flexibility in mind:
Use lattice or chainmail-like patterns (e.g., Kinematics by Nervous System).
Consider how the dress will move and bend.
