3D 프린팅을 활용한 패션제품 개발 연구

Abstract

In the early 1980s, 3D printing technology was develope d but the usage was limited to certain industries due to production cost and expensive equipment. Nevertheless, i t is adopted by diverse industries with the recent develop ment of related technology, expiration of the patent and price reduction of digital devices. Indeed, an introduction of inexpensive 3D printer for personal use opened a com mercialization of the 3D printing. On this, 3D printing is being introduced in fashion industry along with various industrial fields, yet there is much to be desired in an aca demic study on 3D printing. For this reason, this study aimed to research the concept of 3D printing and its curr ent status, to examine currently used 3D printing method. Then, this study classified the examples of fashion desig n that used 3D printing according to production methods, and drew its formative and functional characteristics. Th e analysis results showed that most of the fashion design s using 3D printing technology were printed with the use of FDM and SLS methods. Therefore, this study produce d fashion accessories and clothing with a effective design concept for suggesting result, using FDM method. Findin gs of this study suggested a possibility of new expressio n in fashion design by producing texture as sophisticated and rich as real fabric material with the use of 3D printin g even 3D printing fashion product was announced as 1 unit. Such fashion product creation by 3D printing is exp ected to become a new way of displaying fashion design along with advancing technology from day to day.
