| Abstract Scope |
This presentation will highlight how Julia Daviy and The New Age Lab combine fashion design with engineering, science, sustainable production, and eco-friendly materials. Daviy creates each garment digitally using the innovative technology of 3D printing by zero-waste methods in large-format printers. Daviy’s New Age Lab is the first 3D-printed clothing manufacture model in the United States. Her first collection, The Liberation, was presented during NYFW 2018 and opened the door for wide-use of 3D printing in clothing production. It consisted of 8 pieces of clothing created on FDM 3D printers and one dress, created on SLA 3D printers. While studios are still very much in the experimental phase of bringing 4D printed designs to life, this presentation will also give perspectives on the potential impact and outstanding challenges. |
