Female students use 3D printing technology to make 3D printed lace clothing

Ganit Goldstein is a student at the Jewelry and Fashion Department of the Bezalel College of Art and Design in Jerusalem. In her second year, she decided to show some serious designs. In the end, she thought of making lace with 3D printing. .

When Goldstein designed this 3D printed clothing, in addition to the support of the teachers and students of the same department, she was fortunate to have the support of the Hebrew University Research Institute in Jerusalem to provide her theoretical explanations and technical support.

Although the relevant designs and ideas are from Goldstein, it is undeniable that without the help of the laboratory led by Hebrew University Shlomo Magdassi, it is impossible to produce the lace material she needs. Magdassi Labs is primarily engaged in research on 3D printing and nanotechnology. Goldstein is responsible for creating the special algorithm for making this 3D printed lace, which helps the lab to make 3D printed materials.

Dr. Michael Layani, another researcher at the lab, explained: “Our research team and laboratory are primarily responsible for creating and developing new materials and materials that are generally not directly accessible from nature and require some chemistry. The way to synthesize production. We hope that this collaboration with Goldstein will make people realize the incalculable role that 3D printing technology can play in the real world."

Dr. Layani is responsible for the related fields of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and fashion in the laboratory, and their services are occasionally available to people outside the university.

“Ganit took her algorithm to find us and talked with us about which material is best suited to her needs,” Dr. Layani said. “She is responsible for providing design and creativity. Let us help her create this process and make the finished product. Through nano-particles and nanotechnology, combined with 3D printing, the resulting 3D printed lace is made."

This 3D printed lace, made by SOLIDWORKS3D printer and MakerBot 3D printer, is flexible and very heat resistant. In addition, it is surprising that the production process takes only about 30 minutes. With this production method, it is highly possible to change the traditional hand-made mode, reduce manpower and material resources, and thus reduce costs. To know that more people are now able to enjoy fast, efficient and affordable production methods through 3D printing technology, 3D printing technology brings us convenience, not just that.

“The results of this project show the relationship between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary technology,” Goldstein said. “I believe that in the near future, 3D printed clothing and 3D printed jewelry will be cheaper and more refined. But I believe that if this The situation has become a way of mass production, and the art of handcraft will not disappear. It embodies the art of fine craftsmanship and has unparalleled value."
