When Continuum Fashion (continuumfashion.com)
founder and designer Mary Huang first saw a sample of a textile-like
material generated using a 3D printer, her initial idea was to print a
version of a dress that she’d been working on since college. Upon
finding out the size of the printing boundary in a standard 3D printer,
and given that just a single yard of fabric is 1,620-in.2 (36 x 45), and
it takes more than a single yard to make a dress, the New York resident
had to rethink her plan and come up with a design that required much
less printer space, and a lot less material. She decided to go with the
ultimate barely there article of clothing: the bikini.
