3D printing is growing in popularity, but how will it impact the fashion industry? In this presentation delivered to the Hong Kong Productivity Council, I share my thoughts on how 3DP and AM (additive manufacturing) are transforming all aspects of fashion, from the way designers prototype to the ways garments actually are manufactured. In this presentation, I provide an overview of additive manufacturing today and then look at examples from popular culture to show how the technology is making its way into mainstream consciousness. I explore some 3DP fashion pioneers, including Iris Van Herpen, Anouk Wipprecht, Danit Peleg, Behnaz Farahi, Neri Oxman, and more to highlight both the possibilities and limitations of this new medium. Aside from costume and concept pieces, 3D printing is actually being used for commercial products. As such, I look at how the technology is appearing in consumer products in fashion and beauty. I illustrate the fashion opportunity for 3DP—mainly, the ability to produce custom products on demand in micro-factories closer to home, as well as regard some of the very real challenges facing designers. I close by looking into the future of 3DP for fashion, arguing that just as the spacesuits of astronauts enabled humankind to explore new environments, the 3DP fashions of the future will push us into a new kind of existence.
