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.
Abstract In recent years, much progress has been made in the field of virtual reality: creating an engaging experience by fully immersing users in a virtual world. This project, however, explores a different approach: creating an engaging experience by bringing elements of the virtual world into reality. This project explores different methods of bridging the …
