Digital Threads: Crafting Sustainable Fashion with 3D Printing & Virtual Garments

My research study focuses on developing a sustainable method of producing garments by integrating 3D printing and cut-and-sew techniques. The fashion industry, a major contributor to global emissions and waste, must adopt eco-friendly practices to mitigate its environmental impact. This project explored the use of sustainable filaments and fabrics to create both physical and virtual garments. Through a four-phase process involving material selection, digital modeling, prototyping, and final construction, I aimed to produce a wearable 3D printed garment and a digital counterpart. This study highlights the potential of 3D printing to revolutionize garment production by reducing waste and offering innovative design possibilities.
