# 3D Fashion Projects This Project Will Create Streamlined Processes For Crafting 3D-Printed Fashion By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2016-04-21 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-fashion-project References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/loughborough-university-yeh-group-3d-printed-fashion/42890/) & [lboro.ac.uk](http://www.lboro.ac.uk/news-events/news/2016/april/3d-fashion.html) The 3D Fashion Project is a futuristic venture, part of a collaboration between Loughborough University and the Yeh Group, that is designed to bring [3D-printed fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customfit-3d-printed-shoes) into the big time. The project will look to develop 3D printing technology that is tailored towards the garments and fashion industry. While [3D-printed textiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-knitting-machine1) are hardly a new concept, the fashion industry still doesn't have a streamlined process with which technology can be used to convert raw materials into [finished and fashionable garments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/programmable-clothing). Ultimately, the 3D Fashion Project could revolutionize the fashion industry by striking that much-desired balance between creativity and technological input in the fashion industry. Considering the size and scope of the global fashion industry, this project is something that is set to have a worldwide impact in both the technology and fashion worlds. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **3d-printed Fashion:** The 3D Fashion Project aims to streamline the process of crafting 3D-printed fashion, potentially revolutionizing the industry. - **Tailored 3D Printing Technology:** The project seeks to develop customized 3D printing technology specifically for the garments and fashion industry, creating new opportunities for creativity. - **Technological Innovation in Fashion:** By striking a balance between technology and fashion, the 3D Fashion Project has the potential to disrupt the fashion industry and have a global impact. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** The project aims to revolutionize the fashion industry by introducing streamlined processes for 3D-printed fashion. - **Textiles:** Developing tailored 3D printing technology for the garments and fashion industry could disrupt the textiles industry and create innovative materials. - **Technology:** The project's focus on merging technology and fashion creates opportunities for technological innovation in the fashion industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Immersive 3D Fashion Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portalm-x-virtual-fashion-exhibition.md) - [Web3 Fashion Show Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reinventing-the-runway.md) - [3D Automated Knitting Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-knitting-machine1.md) - [Digital Fashion Academies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clo-academy.md) - [Open 3D Printing Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zellerfeld-1.md) - [Web3-Based Storytelling Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-fabricant-1.md) - [Reimagined Digital Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-23.md) - [Fashion Design AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dripsmith.md) - [AI-Powered Fashion Design Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/make-the-dot.md)
