#TECH: making fashion more sustainable with 3D printing. [Newspaper] (2022)
Abstract
IMAGINE 3D printing a pair of shoes and then recycling them endlessly - or almost. It might sound like something out of science fiction, but it's a concept that's set to revolutionise the fashion industry. Many start-ups, like Hilos in the US, are now embracing 3D printing technology to reduce waste, and produce goods in a more ethical way.
Other major fashion brands have explored 3D printing in the past, but without moving into large-scale production. Hilos now markets no less than four shoe models, to accompany casual, work or evening wear, all made by 3D printing. This technology helps address many environmental issues, such as overproduction or stock shortages, since the start-up only produces on demand, sustainability, by limiting water use and waste, and circularity, since the shoes are fully recyclable
