We've heard of haute couture technology, but we had never heard of printed clothes before. But as it seems, in the next period we will hear more and more often about them.
Why; Because Aaron Rowley's team, they have developed a new project that was recently published in Alternative Apparel's Sustainability in Design & Technology.
This project concerns a 3D printer that can print clothes. It is called Electroloom and as its creators report, will be released by the end of the year.
At this time, there is already a prototype that can make a polymer fabric that looks a lot like silk.
It can create fabric from cotton-like fibers, but it appears that for now the raw materials that uses they are only synthetic. If of course you cannot wear clothes made of synthetic materials, better stay away For you, the traditional clothing factories will continue to exist. The launch of the printer in a different case (printing clothes from any material, organic and synthetic) could bring the end of the clothing industry, at least as we know it until now.
