Description
Summary:Lifestyle products reflect individuals’ way of life and resonate with personal identity. Some of the examples of lifestyle products are home décor, sports equipment, music instruments and fashion. With up-and-coming companies offering 3D modeling and printing services, consumers can easily access 3D printers to incorporate creativity and personalize touches into individual lifestyles. The use of AM has also helped to create a new platform for customization, direct customer review as well as rapid prototyping of the design concept. In this paper, the feasibility of using 3D printing for lifestyle products, particularly wearable fashion products, will be discussed in terms of the aspects of design processes as well as fabrication processes for the wearable fashion application.
