Chromatic 3D Materials teamed up with Dutch high-tech fashion designer Anouk Wipprecht to create a 3D printed dress that responds to its environment through LEDs. TCT Magazine shares this cool and flashy (pun intended) dress.
Chromatic says the design highlights the potential of its 3D printing technology for commercial use. Wipprecht used 3D printing to adhere nearly 75 flexible LED domes to the fabric of the dress without adhesive or stitching. Chromatic says the capability could also be used to create innovative running apparel, bags, footwear and other products including automotive and aerospace interiors, outdoor recreational equipment and personal protective equipment.
