The Future of Fashion is Here: How 3D Printing is Changing the Industry
3D printing is becoming a key tool in the fashion industry, changing the way brands design and produce garments, so future professionals must prepare themselves to face the challenges and opportunities it poses. Can you imagine a future where garments are printed on demand, eliminating waste and perfectly fitting each customer's measurements? This is what LCI Barcelona advocates.
With a focus on 3D fashion, the institution prepares its students for a future where technology and creativity will go hand in hand. “3D fashion will allow us to print clothes at home in the future. Although there is still a long way to go, it is a scenario that will be real in the not too distant future,” explains Estel Vilaseca, Head of Fashion at LCI Barcelona. The institution includes in its curriculum subjects dedicated to 3D printing and modelling. These are taught both in the Degree in Fashion Design and in the Master in Design of Footwear, Bags and Leather Goods Collections. In the latter, students are introduced to digital manufacturing using advanced techniques such as 3D printing, 3D modelling and numerical control milling (CNC), applied specifically to the design of fashion accessories.
