Rubber 3D Printing Technology Apparel Listing

Holland designer Pauline van Dongen believes that fashion demands a revolution. In her view, the fashion industry is too concerned about production inventory, and no one has enough time to rethink the process of making clothes. This is also the reason why van Dongen used her new technology to make bold designs and production. Van Dongen has recently been trying 3D printing technology to see whether the technology can make clothes fit and respond when people move. At the South West South Conference this year, she elaborated on her own experiment in 3D printing fashion, and said it was printed from 3D. Apparel listing There are still many things to do.

But she hopes her experiments will inspire other designers to explore.

The following is the presentation of the latest concept of Van Dongen.

Sleeve design

Van Dongen tried it for the first time. 3D printing technology The fashion work was simple: she printed a cuff. But she did not want a sleeve that only covered up, so she designed the cuff into a telescopic form. Van Dongen printed this cuff with a Objet Connex multi material printer. The cuff is made of elasticity and image. rubber The same material and strong plastic.

The effect of wearing a cuff.

Van Dongen cooperated with Paola Tognazzi and Ralph Zoontjens in wearing the cuff. She wanted to make the sleeve form a human movement, so she placed a sensor on the human arm to record the movements of the people. Later, she simulated how the cuff would react to Grasshopper's computer simulation of how people wore their sleeves. The final result is a cuff that can visually display various kinds of gestures, which will change the shape according to human movement. For example, when the wearer's arm is lowered, the cuff parts will either expand or shrink (as shown).

　 Elastic structure

Van Dongen's second 3D print project Ruff is working with architect Behnaz Farahi. They want to use 3D printing technology to create a dynamic and flexible body around the body. However, materials used for 3D printing are usually rigid and easy to crack. In order to solve this problem, van Dongen and Farahi tried to print several plastic shapes like springs. These structures are more durable and flexible.

　 Responsive wearable clothing

Van Dongen and Farahi produced this "responsive wearable garment" by working with 3D Systems's company in Losangeles. The spring structure of clothing is wrapped around the body, giving people a sense of beauty of deep-sea coral moving in the sea.

　 Science behind sports

In order to make the dress move, van Dongen has installed a spring made of nickel titanium alloy in her costume. Ni Ti alloy has shape memory property. At a certain temperature, the NiTi alloy will deform, but when it is heated to the "deformation temperature", it will return to its original state. By installing Ni Ti alloy springs and small wires, van Dongen can make the spring expand or shrink by adjusting the temperature. This effect is like a "breathing organism" attached to the wearer.
