- In the Garment
industry, 3D design and printing are a new opportunity but
they have not yet created a lot of business yet
- 3D printers
tend to use various polymers as a feedstock, including
acrylonitrile butadiene styrene , polycarbonate , polylactic
acid, high-density polyethylene and polyphenylsulfone.
- Printable
materials tend to be stiff with little or no breathability and
drapeability, making them far less wearable than conventional
apparel materials
- The synthetic
materials currently available for 3D printing, such as
polylactic acid, are not comfortable or flexible enough for
clothing. Coming out of the printer in solid state, they are not
breathable unlike textiles, they do not absorb body moisture and
they are not drapeable.
- As for design,
researchers are still trying to figure out how to make 3D
apparel designs with good drapeability and translate them into
clothes that consumers will actually want to wear.
- 3D printing
solutions in textile are mostly geared to creating 3D effects in
which the final product/fabric is still flat or flat-bed.
