In September 2014 I started working on my graduate collection for my Fashion Design degree at Shenkar<\/a>. This year, I decided to work with 3D printing, which I barely knew anything about. I wanted to check if it’d be possible to create an entire garment using technology accessible to anyone. So I embarked on my 3D printing journey, without really knowing what the end result would be.<\/p>\n
The first piece I focused on was the “LIBERTE” jacket. I modeled the jacket using a software called Blender and produced 3D files; I could now start to experiment with different materials and printers.<\/p>\n
\n
Together with the amazing teams at TechFactoryPlus<\/a> and XLN<\/a>, we experimented with different printers (Makerbot, Prusa, and finally Witbox) and materials (e.g. PLA, soft PLA).<\/p>\n
$\"3d-print-fashion-jacket\"$ <\/a>The breakthrough came when I was introduced to FilaFlex<\/a>, which is a new kind of filament; it’s strong, yet very flexible. Using FilaFlex and the Witbox printer, I finally was able to print my red jacket.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Once I figured out how to print textiles, I was on my way to create a full collection. It would take more than 2000 hours to print (every A4-sized sheet of textile took at least 20 hours to print) so I had to step up my printer-game, to a full fledged “3D-printing farm” at home.<\/div>\n

I would like to thank Yaniv Gershony, a 3D designer who volunteered to help me throughout the past 9 months. He took my designs and transformed the to 3D models. He’s extremely talented and an expert Blender user. Here’s his website: https:\/\/yanivg.carbonmade.com\/<\/a><\/div>\n

And we used the following Blender add-ons during the process: Export paper model, Sverchok, Mesh lint, Booltool.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
