Meet the artist pioneering 3D Printed Textiles | Europe ByDesign

Unfolding the fold is a research and development project exploring ways in which the craft of pleating can inform 3D print technology or how ancient knowledge can aid innovation. Through the project artist, designer and researcher Arantza Vilas, together with Stratasys, is seeking to understand how the tacit knowledge and dexterity required in pleating can inform innovative outcomes in a one-step process and on fabric substrates that otherwise would not be possible to pleat.
