Abstract
This study created wearable fashion products with parametric design characteristics, using 3D printing technology. The goal of the study was to understand what parametric design features can be simulated with 3D modeling and printing technology, as well as to demonstrate what techniques can be used to produce fashion products using 3D printing technology. This study created two different parametric motifs using an FDM-type 3D printer with TPU and ABS as the printing materials. With those motifs, we produced three garments and two accessories. The limitations found during the process were modeling the exact measurement of the motifs that will merge with the apparel design seamlessly while maintaining the parametric features, as well as attaching the printed motifs to fabric without ruining the integrity of the textile. A significant implication of this study is that it recreates parametric designs on the human body and utilizes 3D printing technology for fashion products. This paper cast a light on a discussion about the technique can be applied on fashion design with full-sized body and encouraged designers to explore further with technological advancements in the future.
Highlights
With reference to previous studies, this study aims to expand the realm of fashion products by implementing parametric designs with 3D printing technology
RQ1: What parametric design features can be simulated with 3D modeling and printing technology?
Fusing the craftsmanship of fashion design and the structural characteristics of parametric design allows artistic and technological designs (Yap & Yeong 2014). This is especially effective when combined with 3D printing technology, as shown by a variety of studies utilizing the synergy between these technologies in designing and producing apparels (Boz et al 2019; Chun 2017)
Summary
Parametric designs, which can be realized through digital technology, facilitates convenient mass production in various fields. Over the past few years, several studies have proclaimed that parametric designs produce greater effects when combined with 3D printing technology. The technology is being considered to be the most effective means to recreate the parametric design structural features (Taylor & Unver 2014). A series of studies utilized 3D modeling to develop designs with parametric structural features and to produce sculptures using 3D printing technology (Naddeo et al 2017; Park 2017; Segerman 2012). Other work includes a study in which parametric design methods were applied to calculate the
