News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
The Internet of Things, flexible electronics, mass customization, augmentation, bionics and prosthetics, shape memory and programmable materials, sports devices and the Apple Watch. All these trendy tag terms – so different from each other – are somehow described and defined by and contained within the general idea of wearables. But what exactly are wearable technologies – or “wearables” for short?
New technologies are the field where evolution and changes are the most noticeable. And such are the 3D systems of augmented reality – the devices are constantly upgraded to guarantee the highest image quality. The combination of virtual 3D reality and non-virtual reality is the result of collaboration of Sinterit and Professor Rigo Herold – a German researcher working on developing AR technology as well as on the design of data glasses. Glasses printed in SLS 3D technology allow for precise assembly of components and maximum comfort of using the equipment.

Textiles are among the most ancient human design pieces. In this short film, New York-based fashion collective threeASFOUR reimagines fabric manipulation and textile design using 3D printing to create dresses that transform based on the ergonomics and movement of the human body. This and other aspects of fashion in technology and design will be examined during FASHION AS DESIGN, a new online course that explores a selection of garments from around the world—ranging from Kente cloth to jeans to 3D printed dresses.
