3D-Printed Lingerie

PARAPRINT provides a web service that allows users to own the blueprints of bespoke lingerie so they can be 3D printed locally. This ensures great fitting, long-lasting and sustainable lingerie without the cost of a tailor.

The aim

The aim of the service is to encourage regenerative consumption through ‘sharing’ instead of ‘buying’ and ‘co-creating’ instead of ‘consuming’ garments.

How does it work?

Users can select any garment available in the database and create a ‘digital closet’ to suit their own style. The app then transforms a full-length front and side view photo of the user into a 3D model which is used to customise the digital closet to fit their size. Any of the items can then be ordered and 3D printed locally.

The Future of Fashion

3D printing allows the opportunity to effortlessly change the size and structure of garments based on the user’s changing size or need for support. It also integrates all elements of a bra into a single material, eliminating the need for post-production. Further down the line PARAPRINT aims to be a catalyst connecting users and encouraging them to share knowledge about local and regenerative 3D-printed textile materials.

About Brigitte Kock

PARAPRINT believes the future of fashion is 'parametric', which means that instead of having predetermined sizes (ex. 36, 38, 40) there are parameters that make up the fashion pattern (ex. X, Y, Z): which results in the unique size 'you' or 'me'. We would like to name this new type of parametric fashion blueprints; 'paraprints'. Our dream is to create a system of bespoke clothing that can be 3D-printed with biodegradable materials.
