L’utilizzo della stampa 3D è in aumento anche nel mondo dell’industria tessile e della moda, grazie ai suoi campi applicativi e potenziale in espansione in molti settori. A causa delle tendenze nel campo della moda, da sempre in continuo cambiamento, e molte richieste di prodotti personalizzati per alcuni segmenti della clientela, la ricerca sulla produzione di tessuti stampati in 3D assume oggi un ruolo fondamentale. I tessuti stampati in 3D hanno proprietà fisiche e chimiche diverse a seconda di differenti tecnologie e materiali di stampa. Tuttavia è difficile produrre tessuti stampati in 3D che soddisfino i requisiti come flessibilità, drappeggio e comfort necessari per l'implementazione nel mondo della moda. L’obiettivo di questa tesi è fornire una guida completa utile ai designer su come stampare i tessuti in 3D. Nel primo capitolo vengono introdotti i concetti fondamentali dei processi di produzione additiva. Quindi viene realizzata una breve panoramica dei metodi di produzione tessile tradizionale, dei materiali e delle proprietà richieste, importante per fornire ai designer le conoscenze di base su come vengono realizzati i tessuti. Nel terzo capitolo, sulla base di ricerche su altre pubblicazioni e di un benchmark su indumenti stampati in 3D già esistenti, verrà effettuata una classificazione dei tessuti in termini di struttura e materiali. Ciò contribuirà ad analizzare i materiali e le tecnologie adatti per ottenere importanti proprietà come flessibilità e drappeggio. Successivamente, verranno presentati case studies di tecniche interessanti nella stampa 3D. In base a tutti questi contenuti, il capitolo finale fornirà informazioni e regole di progettazione specifiche da utilizzare durante stampa, e una tabella di marcia con tutti i passaggi che devono essere seguiti durante la progettazione di indumenti stampati in 3D. La conclusione finale chiarisce le implicazioni industriali della stampa 3D e alcuni suggerimenti di ricerca per il futuro.

Abstract
The use of 3D printing is also increasing in the textile and fashion industry as its application and potential accelerates in diverse industries. Since the fashion trend is rapidly changing and there are high demands of customized products for customer segments, research on manufacturing of 3D printed textiles has become more important. 3D printed textiles have different physical and chemical properties depending on a variety of 3D printing technologies or materials. However, it is difficult to fabricate 3D printed textiles that meet demand for garments such as flexibility, drapability, comfort so that it can be implemented in the fashion industry. The aim of this thesis is to provide a complete guide for designers of how to 3D print garments. In the first chapter the fundamentals of additive manufacturing processes are introduced. Then a brief overview of the traditional textile production methods, materials and required properties is made, which is important for the designers and give them the basic knowledge how textiles are made. In the third chapter, based on a literature review and benchmark on already designed 3D printed garments, a classification of printed textiles will be made in terms of structure and materials. This will contribute to analyze the suitable materials and technologies for achieving important properties like flexibility and drape. Afterwards, study cases of interesting techniques in 3D printing will be presented. Based on this review the final chapter will provide information for specific design rules when 3D printing and a roadmap with all the steps that must be followed when designing 3D printed garments. A final conclusion reveals the industrial implications of 3D printing and some future research suggestions.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
