Electroloom – The World’s First 3D Fabric Printer
Courtesy of WOWSA, Huntington Beach, California. Imagine going over to your home office, designing your own swimsuit, and then printing it out on your desktop 3D printer.
Electroloom, the world’s first 3D fabric printer, can make it happen in the future.
With Electroloom’s new 3D printing technology, just recently funded on Kickstarter, swimmers may be able to create seamless, ready-to-wear swimwear sometime in the future.
While fabrics with a polyester/cotton blend are what is planned for the first production units, we are hopeful and expect that other fabrics will soon follow.
Do you want a new swimsuit design? A new logo or new colors? A different cut or thicker straps? A tighter fit or a drag suit? Go ahead and print it.
