This is really interesting, I really like how it includes technology in costume design. This could be the start of a whole new trend for clothing. My one question is how comfortable it is to wear a 3D printed corset though? It just seems like it could be even more uncomfortable then a regular corset. I am curious to see if he will try printing any other pieces of clothing too. 3D printing seems to becoming more and more popular and I think it will be something we will be seeing way more of.
I this this is really really cool. I always find it interesting to see how other departments and industries use tools that are intended for a different department. This is actually not the first time that I've seen 3D printing in fashion. In this past season of project runway a designer used it to create neck pieces resembling sound waves. It looked really cool, and I'm interested to see how it is used in the future. I also wonder how comfortable the prints are to wear.
While this technology is extremely cool and innovative, I cannot see the theater industry using 3D printing for costume and clothing design until it is cheaper to 3D print. Right now, I know that it is already pretty expensive to 3D print per square inch. Although it would be a very interesting and beautiful aesthetic to 3D print costumes, I just don't know how practical it is at this time. With that said, I think 3D printing is and will continue to be useful for model building and prop building. Today, I can see the theatre industry using 3D printing, but only on a small scale because of the high cost to print, especially when cheaper materials are available.
This is a great example of integrating art and computer design. However, I think the article simplifies the process a lot. 3D modeling is simple in theory, yes, but takes a lot of skill to successfully complete. While this is really cool, I don't think it's functionally. I don't know anyone who would want to wear plastic underwear. It sound restricting and uncomfortable. 3D printed clothing is certainly beautiful, but lacks actual function. Not to mention, software and 3D printers are extremely costly. Maybe this will be a practice in the future, but I think this is a little ahead of its time. Let's revisit when the prices go down.
This is really cute. The guy who wrote the article is super quirky too, which is awesome!! I've actually been interested in incorporating 3D printing with making clothing. They've made bikini's and accessories but I always thought that it would be really cool to make an entire outfit out of 3D printing. One problem with this, I don't think they've made a material that can print and be flexible (except for when they 3D print using cells for medical research and stuff, but I don't know who would want to wear the same material that makes up your innards...) and so not many things can be used... Nothing would stretch and so since it fits perfectly to your body, to be able to wear it. your body has to stay exactly the same or else it's kind of a waste... Either way, I still think this is super cool and if I can ever remember how to 3D model on the computer, I would love to integrate fashion and 3D printing!!!!
