Viability of digital fabrication methods for fashion and strategies for their use
Research Process (3 methods)
x
Kinematics Dress (Nervous System), the Bomber Jacket (Danit Peleg), the Foliage Dress (Iris van Herpen), and Modeclix (University of Hertfordshire). The study analyzed their creation forms (Surface Design concepts) and fabrication methods (materials and processes)
3D printing of modular surface samples using Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology. The experiments tested different geometries (square, triangular, loop-based, and spring-based modules) and materials (PLA and TPU) to verify the feasibility of teaching and applying Surface Design concepts within university laboratories and FabLabs
