Abstract: | 3D printing is shaping new business models and is leading the way in rapid prototyping. From Product Design and Engineering and most recently into Fashion and Textiles. This manufacturing revolution poses challenges for conventional business models for example, items to be produced locally, leading to shifts in existing supply chains and global logistics. Advancements in Additive Manufacturing in textiles recently enabled designers to produce 3D printed garments directly from raw material, such as polymer, in a single manufacturing operation. This technology not only has the potential to reduce waste, labour costs and CO2e, but can modernise clothing production by encouraging localised manufacturing and production. |
