Materialise is the presenting sponsor of the inaugural 3D Print Fashion Show that will take place on April 16 at 5:30 pm at the Javits Convention Center in New York City as part of the 3D Print Design Show and 3D Print Week NY.
MecklerMedia has confirmed the leading 3D print designers from around the world who have created original pieces to be unveiled during the 3D Print Fashion Show.
These designers will showcase their innovative new work, inspired by 3D printing. Taking place within the 3D Print Design show will be the 3D Print Art Show and 3D Print Fashion show, where attendees will enjoy innovative pieces of fine art and fashion through carefully-curated displays, runway events, and more.
Registration for the 3D Print Design Show is free, and also grants access to the 3D Print Art Show, 3D Print Fashion Show, and the Inside 3D Printing exhibit hall.
Notable at the show will be a full-length evening gown that is entirely 3D-printed, flexible, and composed of a single element. It was designed by fashion designer Melinda Looi. “3D printing will change the world. Maybe not now, but in times to come 3D printing will usher in a new era by enabling machines to produce objects of any shape, on the spot, and as needed,” said Looi.
