Since then, she has designed innovatively using this technology ( ). In 2011 she was the first designer to use 3DP technology to design a complete runway-ready dress (Logan 2015). For instance, since 2008, Iris van Herpen has incorporated this technology into both her Haute Couture and women’s ready-to-wear clothing designs. Many fashion designers are taking advantage of this innovation, whether their focus is textiles, clothing, jewelry, notions or shoes. Common examples are live tissue for the medical industry, customized moulds for the dental industry, parts for both aerospace and automotive industries, print structures of different metals, and even entire buildings.ģD printing also has the potential to redefine the ready-to-wear fashion industry’s supply chain (Tania 2017). While still widely used for prototyping, different companies from a multitude of disciplines have been using 3D to print other materials. This disruptive technology also has an impact on everyday life. Its enhanced accessibility has provided a new platform for design, customization, and innovation. Recent 3D developments have the potential to change the world, making 3D a disruptive technology. The main identified markets for 3D printing include consumer products (e.g., apparel), medical components and transportation, and tool and mold manufacturing (Gebler et al. 2014 Rayna and Striukova 2015) with people exploring ways to take advantage of it over the last few decades (Hoskins 2013). Prototyping was its primary purpose during the 1980s and 1990s (Gebler et al.
The idea can be traced back to the 1880s, gaining momentum in the mid-1980s. Mathematicians and engineers conceptualized 3D printing. Zero-waste is a philosophy focused on “designing and managing products and processes to systematically avoid and eliminate the volume and toxicity of waste and materials, conserve and recover all resources, and not burn or bury them” (Zero-waste International Alliance 2009).
The process involves laying down many thin layers of material in succession based on a digital blueprint, usually a Computer Aided Design (CAD) file (3D printing, n.d. 3D printing (3DP) is the process of making a physical object from a 3D physical model. 3D printing represents a relatively novel manufacturing technology that is associated with sustainability (Gebler et al. This paper reports the results of an attempt to apply the zero-waste principle to three-dimensional (3D) additive printing to ensure sustainable applications of 3D technology in the apparel and fashion industry.
