ShareCloth will launch 3D printing apparel design software

ShareCloth's ShareCloth app, released in September, will be compatible with Windows and MacOS, which will allow apparel designers to create 3D designs for 3D printed products or apparel. The ShareCloth app makes the process of 3D printing fashion products easier and more convenient.

With the development of 3D printing technology, the fashion retail industry will undergo earth-shaking changes in the next few years. New software solutions released this year may also be one of the main signs at the forefront of the industry. ShareCloth's ShareCloth app, released in September, will be compatible with Windows and MacOS, which will enable designers to create 3D designs for 3D printed products or apparel.

At present, most garment production is far from the initial design center or sales location, and is in a high-output, low-wage economic environment. In the clothing industry, almost everyone uses the first world of clothing design, produced in the third world factory, that is, in the A country to purchase fabrics, B country printing and dyeing, C country and then a finely crafted embroidery, and finally in the D country Producing a skirt, the biggest advantage of doing this is low cost, the disadvantage is slow. It usually takes up to six months or more from design to display in a retail store.

Long-distance supply chains have also led to many management problems, such as over-production, which is undoubtedly a huge waste of manpower and financial resources. The fashion industry is currently the third largest polluter in the world, accounting for 10% of all carbon dioxide and 25% of all chemicals. In fact, if there is no technology to change this situation, then the apparel industry will continue the existing production model, and pollution and waste will continue. Fortunately, 3D printing technology came into being, and the ShareCloth app makes the process of 3D printing fashion products easier and more convenient.

ShareCloth is software designed for 3D printed apparel. Traditional clothing patterns and basic clothing items are pre-set in the app, you can customize the design, if you are satisfied, proceed to the next step - 3D printing.

ShareCloth.com is a new project for SergeyMoliavko. After running the Eastern European fashion brand for seven years, he founded a fashion technology company that specializes in injecting fresh blood into 3D printing into the fashion retail sector. The white paper released by the company's new software release shows that 3D printing technology can not only achieve faster prototyping, but can eventually replace a large number of garment production. 3D printed fabrics are also rapidly increasing, and various fabrics will be available in 3 to 5 years. Leather-like materials will appear in 3D printed materials next year.

While the fashion industry is currently focused on sales strategy and marketing, Moliavko believes that 3D printing technology offers a new alternative that will benefit retailers and customers.
