Jean-Marc Pedeboy, CEO of Stratégies, a company developing CAD software for the footwear industry, explained to Sculpteo that: “ Using CAD software and 3D printing allows to reduce by 10 the price of a prototype. It is an accurate technique that will give life to the 3D design that you’ve created with our 3D modeling software. You will be able to create high quality prototypes thanks to digital manufacturing. Designing patterns is an important process in fashion, and these software will seriously ease your design process. Moreover, this technique allows you to create many iterations of your projects quite faster and cheaper than with traditional methods. The 3D printing technology allows to make new experiments, to try new manufacturing methods, new materials, and also to produce clothes with intricate geometries without wondering how it will be possible to create that. Additive manufacturing appears to be a good solution to create the complex designs of clothes that we can see during fashion shows. Why should you use 3D printing for your fashion projects?ģD printing is well used in the fashion industry.
