# 3D-Printed Bodices This Student-Created Design Updates a 19th Century Lace Bodice By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-11-11 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lace-bodice References: [3ders.org](http://www.3ders.org/articles/20161110-israeli-student-uses-3d-printing-to-breathe-new-life-into-19th-century-lace-bodice.html) This 3D-printed bodice created by Israeli student designer Ganit Goldstein from the Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem puts a contemporary twist on an old lace bodice from a nineteenth century costume. For a school project in her second year at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Goldstein was tasked with taking inspiration from a historical outfit and presenting it in a modern way. As lace has always been seen as a revolutionary fabric, this served as the starting point for her design process. Goldstein generated her own special algorithm to create the [3D lacework designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoskyn) and [entirely digital approach](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clo-academy) that means no hands were used directly to create the garment itself. This speaks to the potential that [additive manufacturing in fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customfit-3d-printed-shoes) specifically has the potential to radically change ethical clothing production. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **3d-printed Clothing:** The creation of 3D-printed clothing offers a modern and digitally-enabled approach to traditional garment production methods. - **Digital Design Algorithms:** Designers can leverage custom digital design algorithms to create unique and complex 3D-printed textiles and fabrics. - **Additive Manufacturing in Fashion:** Additive manufacturing techniques have the potential to revolutionize ethical clothing production processes. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Industry:** 3D printing technology can be used to create unique garments and textiles, revolutionizing traditional manufacturing processes. - **Product Design Industry:** Incorporating digital design algorithms into product design and manufacturing could lead to new functional and aesthetic possibilities. - **Sustainable Fashion Industry:** Additive manufacturing techniques offer new opportunities for sustainable and ethical clothing production, minimizing waste and negative environmental impact. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Textural Porcelain Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tamara-efrat.md) - [Dynamic Shape-Shifting Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primrose-dress.md) - [Wearable Sculptural Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dtcable-collection.md) - [Craft-Inspired 3D-Printing Styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digitally-woven.md) - [Nature-Inspired 3D-Printed Handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/julia-koerner.md) - [Biodesign-Backed Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gozen-x-beymen.md) - [Reimagined Digital Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-23.md) - [Custom Bridal Labs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/les-aimants.md) - [3D Automated Knitting Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-knitting-machine1.md)
