3D Printing Design

A consistent investigation of the emerging fields at the crossroads of fashion, technology and architecture...literature is currently lacking a serious and structured book that engages with production technologies and computational design with a precise emphasis on 3D printed fashion. It is a unique instrument for the understanding of the third industrial revolution. I would strongly recommend this book to my students. -- Niccolo Casas R.I.S.D. Rhode Island School of Design, USA / Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, UK Its greatest strength is that it's written from the perspective of a fashion insider with the technical chops to create beyond the fashion world. His insight is incomparable and there is no better source than Francis Bitonti to cite this kind of work. I can't think of any other book that specifically focuses on 3D printing for fashion. This book is necessary for the future of the field, and is also very forward-thinking. Its approach to 3D printing as a challenge to modern-day industrial conventions is also interesting and provides a theoretical background to the functional topics. -- Antonius Wiriadjaja Research Fellow and Adjunct Professor at New York University, USA Fills a void in terms of educational texts: there is no direct competitor that I know of on this admittedly focused topic. This is one of the first texts to address emerging design and fabrication techniques in the fashion industry. By coupling both topics, the book merges these formerly discrete activities into a cohesive single process. -- Fleet Hower Lecturer, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, New York, USA
