Although 3D print technology has been around since the late 1980’s, at which time they were called Rapid Prototyping (RP) technologies. Because the processes were originally conceived as a fast and more cost-effective method for creating prototypes for product development within specific industries.
It wasn’t until the late 2000’s that 3D fashion starting appearing in accessory lines of European and American designers. Now, it’s being used by high-end designers like Iris Van Herpen, to corporate behemoths like Nike to design their collections. Soon this pioneering 3D technology is going to disrupt the fashion industry just like Uber has interrupted the way we travel daily.
Take a look at these amazing designs made from 3D printers. You can purchase a 3D printer right now and start printing out your spring wardrobe.
