3D Systems introduces application to print directly onto textiles

3D Systems has announced the immediate availability of Fabricate, the company’s new fashion application that is said to reinvent textile design and pattern-making with 3D printing using the company's flagship Cube desktop 3D printer.

Fabricate is the first application of its kind for the fashion industry bringing customization through matching and mixing colourful filaments with fabrics for both the professional and home users, according to the manufacturer.

"Fabricate is a celebration of 3D technology and fashion fusion, a completely new way of accessorizing that is accessible to everyone," said Annie Shaw Creative Director, 3DS. "3D Tech-Style printing lets fashion happen easily, enabling the creation of truly stunning attire. I can't wait to see how people use this technology to push the boundaries of fashion."

Objects in different patterns and shapes are printed on special fabric which can be sewn onto clothing and accessories for a customized, modernist look.

Fabricate comes in three different printed .textile designs that are exclusively available on Cubify.com representing three unique sewing projects. Each month 3DS plans to release a new set of .textile designs and projects, as well as unveil exciting collaborations with fashion designers that are mixing 3D technology with tradition.
