Recently there has been a lot of talk about
3D printers and how they are being used. In the news these stories seem to be
negatively based, looking at how people are using them to create weaponry, more
specifically guns. But here I have come across an interesting story about a
company called Tamicar that are able to 3D print a soft breathable fabric that
is usable for clothing such as pants.
A huge company in the underwear business
has become interested in this new type of underwear design/creation. Victoria’s Secret has shown it interest in
the 3D printing process earlier this month, as they created a 3D printed outfit
for one the models at a show in New York. The company created a set of white
“wings” covered in Swarovski crystals and the model wore this with the Victoria’s
Secret lingerie. Its still unclear at this stage how close this new line from
Victoria’s Secret is away or as to what they will look like or styled, but this
could be a big move forward. It has been said that they would be able to create
up to 10 millions pairs of underwear a year, this is a phenomenal amount.
With big companies getting on the 3D
printing hype like this, who knows who will be next to join in, or even more so
what will be created on the printers next.
