GEEK CHIC : 3D Printing Reshapes Fashion Design

By Joanne Joseph


From headpieces to shoes to nail art, 3-D printing has given designers a more technological outlet to display their creative designs to the fashion world. For those who are unfamiliar with the process, 3-D printing allows you to make a 3-dimensional object come to life through a digital file. The creator makes a virtual design of the object that is scanned into a 3-D digital copy, and then printed.










The designers from the fashion company threeASFOUR featured some 3-D pieces during New York Fashion Week in 2013.
