3D Printing with embroidery.

Robert Young's picture

Quite a few years ago the industry latched on to 3D foam embroidery... then Laser cutting to a smaller degree...and combos of screen and emberoidery, since then Not much has happened, nothing new.

How about 3D printing on fabric to enhance either embroidery or screen? I am doing it for art pieces but found that at .6mm it also can withstand a washing machine for clothing. Not sure about dry cleaning yet. (which isn't "dry" btw) but will test for fun

I got the printer for the friggin dollhouse project's furniture but have been playing with making fabric with it and also embellishing fabric.

thoughts?

Shoot, I have a hard enough time getting my machine to stitch fabric. I would really loose my mind trying to stitch around 3d printing. LOL

have 14 colors of plastic currently.. apparently they do not have the full range yet of a Maderia or Robinson Anton, et al. but hey, the primaries and a white/black etc should still work pretty good. But that being said there are wonderful colors of wood type that are quite fascinating for the Trompe-l'œil items for the dollhouse.
