In the exploration of fashion, visionaries in the fashion industry have never stopped exploring, and 3D printing technology has triggered people's endless imagination of the future, and designers have more than once exaggerated the major innovations that this technology can bring to design and production.
As a professional exhibition of additive manufacturing technology in Asia, TCT Asia has been focusing on the application and development of 3D printing technology in the field of consumer goods and fashion since the first session in 2015. According to Laura, content director of TCT Group, she was most impressed by the 3D printed wedding dress displayed by Xuberance at the first TCT Asia, a printed artwork that truly represents additive manufacturing breaking through the boundaries of "design-manufacturing integration" and conveying more possibilities of industrial processes.
IN 2017, THE HEAD OF THEFUTURE OF JEWELRY, AN AMERICAN JEWELLERY MANUFACTURER, ATTENDED THE TCT ASIA SUMMIT AS A GUEST SPEAKER AND WAS IMPRESSED BY THAT YEAR'S TCT ASIA: "TCT ASIA WAS THE FIRST IN-PERSON ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING EVENT I ATTENDED. Walking into the showroom feels like having earned a master's degree in 3D printing. The experience of visiting TCT Asia was the inspiration for us to bring our highly personalized jewellery business to life. ”

Traditional sneaker design limits the wild ideas that many designers have in their minds. Because there is no way to get rid of the limitations of technology, many concept sneakers cannot become a reality. However, with the popularity of 3D printing technology, the boundaries of sneaker design are gradually being broken and are splitting to new heights. Over the past decade, quite a few fashion brands have launched 3D printed shoes.
Unlike most companies that only focus on midsoles and insoles, Peak is able to 3D print the entire shoe, including the upper.

It is not difficult to see that in recent years, more and more brands are using 3D printing technology to try to subvert the traditional consumer goods fashion manufacturing industry, but to make 3D printing products become the mainstream, it still needs to invest a lot of money and time.
On May 9, 2024, TCT Asia will hold a consumer goods and fashion forum at the same time, inviting 3D printing technology end users from the eyewear manufacturing industry, jewelry design and manufacturing industry, and clothing design and manufacturing industry to share with you the application cases since the beginning of the industry, how to introduce 3D printing technology, what convenient, fashionable and novel use scenarios can be brought to consumers, and how to lay out the business blueprint step by step and gradually become large-scale?
If you know deeply, you can go far by doing. Based on a global network of manufacturing experts, 3D Science Valley provides the industry with an in-depth look at additive and intelligent manufacturing from a global perspective.
