3D printing enters the fashion world "red carpet"

3D printing is becoming a hot topic in the fashion design industry. Recently, we’ve heard more and more about designers around the world using 3D printing technology to bring their creative visions to life. This is truly an exciting development, showing that 3D printing has the potential to revolutionize the future of fashion with broader applications. Despite the growing presence of 3D printed fashion on runways worldwide, most pieces seen so far are just accessories. Full garments made entirely from 3D printing are still rare. That’s why when Danit Peleg, a fashion student at Shenkar School of Design in Israel, created a complete collection using 3D printing, it caught a lot of attention. What made it even more impressive was that she used a regular home 3D printer for all the pieces. Danit, originally from Tel Aviv, Israel, developed this project as her graduation work. It’s considered the first fully 3D printed clothing collection made on a desktop 3D printer. Even more surprising, she had almost no knowledge of 3D printing when she started. “In September 2014, I began working on my graduation project,” she shared. “When I decided to use 3D printing, I knew very little about the technology. I wanted to see if I could create a full garment that anyone could wear. So, I embarked on a journey into 3D printing.” She reached out to a local 3D printing expert who guided her through the process of choosing the right machines, materials, and software. Her first project was a jacket inspired by Delacroix’s painting *Liberty Leading the People*. She converted the image into a 3D model using Blender, generated a 3D file, and experimented with different materials and printers. Later, she joined forces with a team of 3D printing experts from TechFactoryPlus and XLN. Together, they tested various 3D printers like Makerbot, Pursa, and Witbox, as well as materials such as PLA and soft PLA. “I was really happy to be part of a global maker community where people share knowledge, designs, and time to help others achieve their dreams,” she said. After a month of trial and error, Danit found that PLA wasn’t flexible enough for clothing. She finally discovered FilaFlex, a flexible filament that allowed her to print a soft and strong red jacket. This breakthrough led to more experimentation. She explored Mesostructured Cellular Materials designed by Andreas Bastian, combining them with flexible filaments to create a lace-like textile structure that could be used as fabric. Her graduation project included five full 3D printed garments, which took nine months and over 2,000 hours of 3D printing. Her home looked more like a small factory. Some designs were easier to print, while others required more time. She used OptiTex for designing, then imported the models into Blender to prepare them for 3D printing. Although it was a small collection, the results were impressive. Most notably, the pieces were fully 3D printed—including shoes. “I’m working on 3D printed shoes,” she said. “I want models to wear 100% 3D printed outfits, including shoes, on the runway.”
