The Impact of 3D Printing on the Fashion Industry

3D printing is changing the course of the fashion business along the lines of cutting-edge processes on bespoke and doorstep tailoring. With the use of this technology, designers are able to develop deeper and more advanced patterns as well as geometric shapes that are impossible with the conventional methods. For brands such as Xpress Style, which are into clothes making as per the need of the clients, use of 3D printing provides an added advantage of making the most imaginative and unique clothes.

Also, one of the advantages associated with the introduction of 3D printing into the garment industry is that clothes can be made only when customers need them, thereby decreasing the problem of waste as well as surplus stock. This fits well with the increasing call for green fashion, as 3D printing does not waste fabric and employs only what is necessary.

As for the brands that have centered their brand positioning around bespoke alterations, the technology of 3D printing is perfectly suitable as it allows the possibility for true customer’s mass customization, whereby any piece of clothing can be sitting rather perfectly on every individual’s body frames as all the garments are custom made according to individual’s specifications. This increases the happiness of the clients and at the same time decreases the issue of returns which is rampant in the fashion business.

With time, 3D printing can also change the fashion world for the better with things like smart textiles and automated garments which shape according to the body of the person wearing it. It can be summarized that problems such as the initial investments being too high and problems with the material still exists, however, looking at the perspective that lies ahead in the future will be interesting in terms of a change in the methods of cloth production that is cost effective, reliable and better.
