AMIMONO, a line of 3D-printed clothing for everyday use

Of course, 3D-printed fashion is one thing. We've already seen 3D-printed heels (difficult to wear), sports shoes, highly stylized dresses and even lingerie. Until now, all these initiatives have come from haute couture or sports prototypes, and are therefore far removed from our everyday needs. 3D-printed garments were confined to fashion shows or advertising purposes. Designers continue to work towards the day when 3D-printed fashion becomes a mass-market offering. A Japanese company may be able to speed things up, by launching real 3D-printed garments. This project is intended to introduce a future standard for everyday life.
Masaharu Ono of Free-D is a talented designer renowned for his creative approach to fashion and technology. He is collaborating with the STARTed company to create the AMIMONO clothing line, a concept of real 3D-printed garments, a project unlike anything seen so far in the3D printing community.
"This is a real garment created with a 3D printer"
The idea was to create a knitted product. The vest with interconnected materials is worn to complement other traditional pieces of clothing. Ono explains that the team was able to realize the piece through 3D modeling and the creation of a special algorithm, which was then used to create a seamless woven pattern.
"The garment was modeled as if it had been knitted with yarn inside 3D software."
They then used a soft TPU material capable of providing a new level ofelasticity. The result is a garment with the feel of fabric. With this production method, the designer asserts, it will be possible to create ready-to-wear garments for everyday use.
The material offers a rare flexibility, with capacities for expansion and contraction, as well as foldability. For the moment, the AMIMONO collection features just one piece: the 3D-printed vest. A line that's both elegant and versatile, it will offer future possibilities for personalization and feature a material that will stand the test of time to offset wear and tear problems.
So will 3D printing change the way you dress every day?
