Top 5 Videos: 3D Printed Fashion in the Heart of Paris

Hello and welcome to a special edition of the top five videos of the week, where we bring you the latest and greatest in 3D printing-related video content. We’ve got a great lineup for you today as we dive into high fashion with Iris van Herpen’s 3D printed creations before going on a tour of how Prusa 3D printers are made! From there we take a look at heroes on the silver screen and on the front lines as we explore 3D printed costumes and drones. Finally, we take a look at some top-notch modeling and remote control wiring as Mateusz Malinowski assembles a 1:150 scale, 3D printed model of a cargo ship. We hope you enjoy these visual offerings and keep the love for 3D printing alive!

Top 1: Exploring 3D Printed Fashion at Iris van Herpen’s Paris Exhibition

Our first video comes from a 3Dnatives field trip to the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, France where famed fashion designer Iris van Herpen has a collection of works on display that feature 3D printed dresses that blur the line between clothing and contemporary art. The Paris exhibition is known as “Sculpting The Senses” and encompasses 11 rooms with different themes, where visitors have the chance to enter the mind of the artist while seeing her most magnificent works. Not only does it display the vast opportunities that additive manufacturing offers in clothing production, but it also shows the extent to which 3D technologies are transforming the fashion industry. Watch the video to see some of van Herpen’s signature designs!

Top 2: 3D Printing 3D Printers!

In this video by Strange Parts, we embark on a tour of Prusa Research’s 3D printer factory in Prague, Czechia. This look inside the production and manufacture of the iconic 3D printer brand takes us step by step, starting alongside the man himself, Josef Prusa. In this in-depth tour of manufacturing, we get to see some of the interesting behind-the-scenes of how 3D printing printers take place on a large scale. Each step is accompanied by experts from Prusa Resesarch’s team who are able to describe the process and explain how the steps all fit together into the products that work for us at home and at work!
