Congratulations on the *style* of your video! I rarely watch youtube videos because they are a waste of my remaining life, but you have avoided *all* the traps :) Most videos are 1) "talking heads" that could be equally well done using text/images or even voice alone. Yours needs video to make the points. 2) full of "um" and "ah" and "you know". You talk fast but clearly, and there is information in what you say 3) don't let me understand why I might want to watch the video. Yours has the table of contents. 4) I can speed read 10* times faster than speech, so I can very quickly decide what to *ignore*. If I can't do that, I don't bother to watch on the off chance there might be something I want to see. So, congratulations on your technique!
I read the hackaday article and really didn't understand. I watched the video and now it's all clear. Great indicative video. Keep up the great work and keep making awesome things.
I already have a swatch of infill patterns which I made so that I have a visual reference of the infill patterns, I never thought of using them for TPU fabrics though but I did make some cup coasters made from infill patterns and printed in ASA, this TPU fabric would be a good thing to print on belt machines!
Hi Eduardo, thanks for your comment and sorry for the late reply! You can use the 3D printed fabrics the same way you would normal fabrics. You can weld the pieces together or sew them to make a garment.
@@SaraAlvarez Thanks. It's just that I didn't understand how to apply Fabrix for 3D printing. Which software use, for example, to manipulate. And to print. Thank you in advance.
This is very interesting! Has there been any analysis on durability / microplastic pollution from 3d printed fabrics with common filaments? I know polyester fibers contribute significantly to microplastic pollution and, with lower durability, 3d printed fabrics might be worse.
If memory serves me right, PLA(not sure for other kinds of filament) does not degrade into micro plastics MakersMuse has a great video on the impact of 3D printed plastics
THIS IS SO COOL! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Also especially appreciate everything being free and open-source :) that says a lot about you as a person. I will be trying this myself ASAP. Subscribed!
I am so happy to have found your channel. I've been dreaming of using infill patterns since learning about 3D printing last year. I'm a ceramic artist and there are so many wonderful things being done with the medium. But I want to be able to make these "fabrics" to create textures on my clay. Thanks for sharing your expertise. Jill
I've been using a combination of direct modeling and the infill method for about three years, now. I've been making bags and hip-pouches for friends and family, though I haven't tried to market it yet (working another project path atm.). I'm looking forward to seeing if the public responds as positively as my 'test market' has! In my case, I've been printing fairly thick sheets with a very soft ninjaflex. It comes out with feeling very close to pleather. I model in the stitch holes to make assembly easier, but I love that you can do cool borders and patterns basically however your imagination desires. One huge tip I have is that it's _much_ easier to buy the white ninjaflex, then use Rit synthetic dye to color it. Just make sure you do all the same colored parts for the same project at the same time, so you can get the colors to match, otherwise you end up with darker/lighter parts. I do a few test swatches with a color mix, then dye all the panels at the same time in a big pot. The ninjaflex holds up very well to the temperatures of the dye/water, despite being a thermoplastic. YMMV, so experiment.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I have to give the dyeing a try 👌🏼 Have you tried using natural dyes like avocado pits or onion skins? I wonder if that would work.
@@SaraAlvarez I really have no idea. Rit synthetic was what I saw recommended for dying rubbers, and it worked first try, so I didn't experiment much. Do let me know if you find other dyes which work just as well!
I don't know about Cura, but for printing simple sample swatches you can do all of this in PrusaSlicer (and many other Slic3r forks). Simply after starting up the slicer, add a primitive shape (like a cube) to the print volume then scale it to the dimensions you want. Remove the top and bottom layers and then play with the infill. Yes, you will probably want to use your favorite 3D CAD program to get the actual pattern shapes when taking from idea to design, but for simple swatches the inbuilt slicer primitives is faster and easier.
Thanks for this video and information, there doesn't seem to be enough discussion about this. Very interesting! If you're looking for ideas for future videos, expanding on the things you can make, techniques to make them - how to type stuff, with 3d printed fabric would be a hit I'm sure.
Hi. If i want to make my own shapes (Like a flower )how do I go about doing that what Software would I use to draw and then what next do I export the drawing to a 3D software? And what printer would you recommend I use. PLEASE help thanks ❤ Edit: if you could do a video or reply to my comment that would be lovely
Many thanks for useful video. May I know whether we are able to use recycled PET filament to make a 3D printed fabric shoe upper directly onto a shoe last? Is there any recycled PET filament supplier?
I am brainstorming ways to make origami tents and want to have the crease patterns printed on lightweight tent materials. The crease patterns I am mainly working with are parabolic patterns, and flasher patterns using water resistant paper. If you have any information on someone working on the same design problem let me know. The design I am striving for has these qualities: 1. Very lightweight 2. Does not need poles because it has a rigid effect with tensile strength. 3. deploys and Folds down to very compact sizes quickly. I have several designs that do this with paper, but it needs to be durable fabric like nylon-polyester rip stop.
Very interesting, but I'm interested in making fabrics at home that are made only from natural materials such as cotton or linen or silk or wool threads -- so I'd be very interested in seeing reviews or demos of home weaving machines or 3D printers that can work with natural fibers instead of man-made fibers. Do such 3D printers exist yet? If not -- then are there any home weaving machines that we can program to create our own fabrics? Bonus if these machines can weave them in 3D? I think I've seen a demo of something but it was very expensive and thus not appropriate for home or DIY use.

Hi! I just posted a video on 3D printed lace. It has taken longer than I would have liked, but it's finally out: ua-cam.com/video/9CubGn7pFSo/v-deo.html
I think you might be very interested in the mastering infill video by teaching tech, he found a lot of options to texture and pattern infill with some easy to deploy lateral thinking. This might open up even more creative liberties for you!
Cool stuff! But when I saw the point of "no waste", I got annoyed at the irony, as I remembered that this is all plastic, and that it pollutes the earth and just sucks as a material (for everyday wear), you sweat, it feels gross, it quickly loses its nice texture, it just plain sucks and is SO unnecessary & easily replacable by natural fibers, only thing is its cheap. It should finally be banned. (So this is a rant against plastic textiles for every-day wear, not particularly the topic at hand..)
Hi! Thanks for your comment, it is an interesting topic. I agree that for most clothing, using natural fibers makes more sense. What I posted here is more an experiment and a sense of what the future could be, and in that future perhaps we’ll have 3D printing filaments that aren’t oil based, or we perfect the recycling process in such a way that we can make truly circular products. We’re not there yet, but 3D printing allows things few other production methods have: local production (less pollution due to transporting goods) and virtually no material waste, since you use what you need and no more.
Hi Lennart, thank you for comment! I took note of the suggestions and I just posted a new video about how to 3D print lace: ua-cam.com/video/9CubGn7pFSo/v-deo.html
Soooo you just printed a thin plane and called it fabric? I don't see a phenomenon here. The discovery was the flexible filament and I love that idea. Making bouncy stuff is great.
Hi Meby, for this video I used a BCN3D Sigma R17 and Recreus Filaflex 82A. I would recommend using a 3D printer with direct drive extruder though, it makes it easier with flexible filaments.
Hi Marlon, in this example I print a rectangular piece, but the nice thing about 3D printing is I could 3D print the shape of a T-shirt pattern, or a bag, or anything really. If you get a rubber plate and then you have to cut out a shape, you'll end up with some leftover material. With 3D printing, you only print what you need. That's the nice thing about it :)
Hi! I also have a small print area so I usually do one of three: Use a 3D pen with the same filament; sew the pieces with a sewing machine; or make the design modular, so I can interlock the pieces with each other. I hope this helps :)
Wow! I didn´t know that is possible. A very informative Video! Which has also a good quality. Hopefully you make more Videos like that. Greeting from Germany
Muchas gracias Fernanda! Tengo pensado hacer contenido en español más adelante también :) Si te interesa este tipo de contenido acabo de subir un nuevo vídeo sobre cómo imprimir encaje: ua-cam.com/video/9CubGn7pFSo/v-deo.html
Would love to hear more about different filaments and how to choose one, what properties that can give you, and tips for pattern making and assembling a final piece. Can you melt weld seams or glue , or sew with thread?
Hi Pete, thanks for your comment and sorry for the late reply! I’ll show more final projects and go through the pattern making process as well in future videos. In the meantime you can check my last video on 3D printed lace, perhaps this is interesting for you: ua-cam.com/video/9CubGn7pFSo/v-deo.html

great information ... where you get this material from and what is the cost of it..... can it be printed with any of the common printer ..or else what are the spec for the printer that you use.
For reference, the material used is TPE, which starts melting at around 230C. I'm pretty sure it could withstand washing at low-mid temperatures, but I haven't tried myself.
I wonder if there could be a hybrid using thread in the mesh that sticks to the polymer while still in the melted state. To add strength and maybe, in the case of the shoes, the side facing skin could have more natural fiber against the skin than the polymer.
That is very creative and interesting use of a 3D printer! I haven't thought about that, but its good to know that it works. Will definitely come back to this, when I will work with textiles.
Hi Emily! The printer I show in the video is a BCN3D Sigma from a few years ago. I don’t think it is sold anymore. However, if you plan to print flexible filaments I’d recommend a printer with direct drive extruded instead.

Congratulations on the *style* of your video! I rarely watch youtube videos because they are a waste of my remaining life, but you have avoided *all* the traps :)
Most videos are
1) "talking heads" that could be equally well done using text/images or even voice alone. Yours needs video to make the points.
2) full of "um" and "ah" and "you know". You talk fast but clearly, and there is information in what you say
3) don't let me understand why I might want to watch the video. Yours has the table of contents.
4) I can speed read 10* times faster than speech, so I can very quickly decide what to *ignore*. If I can't do that, I don't bother to watch on the off chance there might be something I want to see.
So, congratulations on your technique!
I read the hackaday article and really didn't understand. I watched the video and now it's all clear. Great indicative video. Keep up the great work and keep making awesome things.
It would be cool to try this with a dual extruder using different filaments for each direction for a start and moving onto even more complex patterns.
could be interesting, especially regarding the direction of stretch needed. Ie, one bit of a part might stretch vertically but not horizontally
thank you, you are amazing u made my day
I wanna be clear: I want more women in 3D printing, but the reason I subscribed because this video is fire. 🔥
Yeah more vaginas am I right!?!? 🙌
Very cool idea, thanks for sharing.
I have never had any interest in making clothes but this is really darn cool.

Just had to pop in and say how much I love your work. Your project assignments are all very interesting and I cant wait to see more
Thank you for your kind words! I’m happy you’re enjoying my work :)
@@SaraAlvarez how durable is the fabrick?
Not sure I think Cura will import an svg vector drawing file. This might work as well?
Next thing we know, people will buy digital files and print their own clothes, putting retailers out of business.
Make a 3D dimensional fabric object so a 2 dimensional fabric is believable
If you can 3mf is a better file type. It exports much faster.
Fantástico! Muy buena info. Gracias
Very uncomfortable. Only suited for outer layers.
Incredibly informative and really makes me want to give 3d printing a shot, great video!

How are you finding your BCN3D printer?
Overall it works great! I'm just not sure if it is the best for flex filaments, but it's mainly because of the bowden extruder.

but its about 1 plane. at this method yiu cant print actual 3d shape and need somehow stich together 2 printer parts, but anyway its quite interesting
Thanks for your comment! Yes, you’re printing something that you can use as you would use fabric.
Potentially you could add relief to the surface though, and go creative in that direction. I know some researchers like Susana Marques are using these techniques to make 3D printed fur-like fabrics.
@@SaraAlvarez thats really nice to see what people come up with, even when someone liek me may sound like "smartass" :D
? just few layer of flexible filament....?
Yes! It’s simple but effective :)
I didn’t really read the title and I saw printing fabric and I thought it meant like making a T-shirt print and then as soon as Ms Sara started talking I was like whoa!! wait what??
excellent. thank you
Great video! Love this topic. I'm a footwear designer developer and have worked on thousands of shoes. I'll give this a try. Thanks!
very helpfull and insteresting. looking forward to see another application of 3d print on fashion
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll be sharing more projects in the near future :)
amazing
hi~can you teach me
I find this facnating makes me think I can make some of those fantastic patterns I see in my favorite movies maybe.
great information ... where you get this material from and what is the cost of it..... can it be printed with any of the common printer ..or else what are the spec for the printer that you use.
I’m wondering about the heat tolerance
For reference, the material used is TPE, which starts melting at around 230C. I'm pretty sure it could withstand washing at low-mid temperatures, but I haven't tried myself.
What if you use PLA instead?
Hi Simon! With PLA you wouldn’t get the drape that you achieve with TPE. So it wouldn’t resemble fabric.
I imagine Belt Printers open up some doors with this type of printing, since you could print infinitely long sheets.
Why ch 3d printer you use
I need to know
For this video I used a BCN3D Sigma R17.
ฮำพั cool thank you
You do
I think we need a deeper dive into materials.
Noted! I'll try to make a dedicated video for materials in the future.
Hi! Really intertesting video. I tried to download the manual but I cannot receive the email. Can you share a download link? Thanks a lot :)
Wow! This is such a great idea! I guess it’s time to dig up my ninjaflex and make something 🥰
I wonder if there could be a hybrid using thread in the mesh that sticks to the polymer while still in the melted state. To add strength and maybe, in the case of the shoes, the side facing skin could have more natural fiber against the skin than the polymer.
you wouldn't download a dress, would you?
Why not? There are people already doing it. Check out Danit Peleg or @SewPrinted.
Dekstop!!!
Good job on the instructional video. The only thing I would change is the audio level is a bit low. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
that last method shown should make printing colored tartan relatively simple
interesting
What filament do you use
Recreus Filaflex 82A
Underrated
dekstop
It's a very interesting topic but you choose the least interesting method of the four
Outstanding instructional video. Thank you for sharing ❤🎉
Imagine doing this with a treadmill printer! Infinite length!
You wouldn't download a sock
Or maybe in the future you would 🫣
Great idea! Now the hardware has to catch up to make pants. :)
That is very creative and interesting use of a 3D printer! I haven't thought about that, but its good to know that it works. Will definitely come back to this, when I will work with textiles.
I like the printer how can one get it
Hi Emily! The printer I show in the video is a BCN3D Sigma from a few years ago. I don’t think it is sold anymore. However, if you plan to print flexible filaments I’d recommend a printer with direct drive extruded instead.
