3D printing textile design and skirt manufacturing process using FDM 3D printing technology
Abstract
3D printing is a key technology leading the 4th industrial revolution, and it is possible to reduce manufacturing costs by using an additive manufacturing method that does not require molds and is used in various fields such as bio, medical care, and food. In the apparel industry, various studies are being conducted for textile production using 3D printing. This study intends to propose a skirt manufacturing process using a 3D printed textile. In the manufacturing process of 3D printing textiles and prototypes, first, a modeling design in the form of chain mail was developed using the Rhino 7.0 program. Second, the modeling design developed in this study was printed on a Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) printer using various resins such as Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS), and Polyactic Acid (PLA), and the model was selected based on the stability and optimal design. The optimal modeling design was printed with High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) resin, and the size was 25 × 25 × 8.7(mm)(L × W × H). Third, the skirt prototype was manufactured using an optimal modeling design, and the size of the skirt was adjusted to 0.3 times the actual size. The front and back parts of the skirts were connected using metal rings(inner diameter: 8mm, outer diameter: 10mm. Through this study, it was confirmed that 3D printed textiles can be applied as clothing materials and manufacturing clothing prototypes using them.
