From Code to Catwalk: Rapid Prototyping Reimagines Design
A young London designer printed a lattice corset overnight, tweaked wall thickness at breakfast, and walked the revised piece by sunset. That speed turned hesitation into momentum. What would you prototype first? Tell us below.
From Code to Catwalk: Rapid Prototyping Reimagines Design
Avant-garde houses proved that printed filaments can drape like dreams and hold shape like architecture. The process rewards curiosity: test a motif small, scale responsibly, and translate experiments into runway-ready statements without exhausting budgets.
Materials That Matter: From TPU Soles to Bio-Based Blends
Flexible TPU midsoles with tuned lattice geometry absorb impact and spring back precisely where needed. Think of Adidas’s lattice concepts: structure becomes cushioning. Designers can dial softness zone by zone using simple parameters.
Materials That Matter: From TPU Soles to Bio-Based Blends
Bio-based PLA, algae-derived blends, and recycled PET filaments reduce waste while opening fresh textures. Printing only what is ordered means fewer dead-stock bins and more intentional wardrobes. Tell us your favorite eco material experiments.
Materials That Matter: From TPU Soles to Bio-Based Blends
Printed parts are not inherently brittle. With correct orientation, infill, and post-cure, they flex, breathe, and last. Fabric-bonded prints wash well when stitched or adhered properly. Share your durability tips and mishaps—we all learn faster together.
Fit for Every Body: Customization at Scale
A quick smartphone scan feeds measurements into a parametric template, adjusting lattice density and seam placement automatically. The result: a glove-like bodice or heel cage that considers pressure points, posture, and personal motion.
Fit for Every Body: Customization at Scale
Magnetic closures, gentle textures for sensory comfort, and modular supports can be printed on demand. Adaptive fashion becomes elegant, not clinical, when engineered as part of the garment’s language from the very first mesh.
On-Demand and Local: Rethinking the Supply Chain
01
Imagine a compact print studio beside a showroom, producing custom accessories while you sip coffee. No overseas freight, no weeks of waiting—just a technician, a calibrated printer, and your design taking shape in real time.
02
When the shelf is a digital file, brands can A/B test silhouettes with tiny physical runs. Preorders guide production, overstock disappears, and creative risks become far less risky. Would you pre-order a printed piece you helped configure?
03
Digital IDs linked to each print, plus QR-coded tags, document materials, settings, and care. This clear lineage helps repairs, recycling, and resale. Join our newsletter to explore open standards for fashion traceability.
New Skills for Modern Designers
Tools like CLO3D for drape, Blender for sculpting, and Rhino with Grasshopper for parametric logic turn sketches into printable geometry. Small swatch prints validate flexibility before committing to full garments.
New Skills for Modern Designers
Print test tiles for hinge strength, fabric adhesion, and comfort edges. Change one variable at a time, document results, and stack wins. Share your favorite test protocol—we’ll compile a community playbook.
Beyond Accessories: Printing Directly onto Fabric
Preheating, flexible resins, and textile-friendly primers help prints bond to mesh or nylon without cracking. Designers are printing ribs onto tulle and power mesh, achieving support and breathability in one integrated layer.
Beyond Accessories: Printing Directly onto Fabric
Embedded hinges, living joints, and shape-memory patterns create pleats that open as you walk and straps that flex under load. Motion becomes ornament. Which movement would you design into your next piece?
