Stratasys collaborates with top fashion designers to create an Urban Tattoo Collection that showcases the rejuvenation and sustainable transformation of denim garments through upcycling.
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., & REHOVOT, Israel (BUSINESS WIRE) With a groundbreaking initiative that revolutionizes the outlook of customized fashion and eco-friendliness, Stratasys Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSYS) has unveiled the introduction of its Direct-to-Garment (D2G) solution for the J850 TechStyle™ printer. This cutting-edge addition to the Stratasys 3DFashion™ direct-to-textile printing technology marks a significant leap forward. An exciting debut awaits at the Texprocess exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany, on April 23. Prepare to be amazed by the unveiling of the Urban Tattoo denim collection, showcasing the first example of its application.
The D2G solution offers a great opportunity for customization and personalization by allowing the application of vibrant, multi-material 3D prints directly onto fully assembled garments made from different fabric types such as denim, cotton, polyester, and linen. It enables fashion brands to offer customized and unique designs for customers, including the option to customize 3D prints based on personal preferences, sizes, and styles.
"Numerous brands face challenges when it comes to producing denim clothing on a large scale while still ensuring a sense of personalization that resonates with the wearer," commented Zehavit Reisin, Senior Vice President Commercial Solutions at Stratasys. “We are offering brands the chance to make a significant impact, infusing their clothing line with a unique personality, all while promoting a more eco-friendly approach that resonates with a wide range of consumers.”
Offered in two different sizes, the D2G tray kits allow for customization of clothing items such as jeans and jackets. This empowers designers and manufacturers to embrace eco-friendly methods by minimizing material waste. The efficient workflow ensures effortless calibration and compatibility with a range of garment sizes, simplifying the production process and encouraging the development of one-of-a-kind, customized apparel.
Highlighting this breakthrough, the Urban Tattoo collection displays the possibilities and simplicity of direct-to-garment 3D printing. Collaborating with renowned designers Karim Rashid, Travis Fitch, and Zlatko Yanakiev at Meshroom and Foraeva Studio, this unique collection showcases the metamorphosis of everyday clothing into exceptional works of wearable art, infusing them with individuality and significance.
Similar to body tattoos, Urban Tattoos foster a profound emotional bond, inspiring the repurposing of current clothing items and contributing to a fashion ecosystem that is more environmentally friendly. This is in line with Stratasys' approach to Mindful Manufacturing™. Stratasys has successfully developed a new collection that caters to a wide range of brands, appealing to customers from various socio-economic backgrounds.
"At Urban Tattoos, our goal is to go beyond mere decoration and infuse garments with vibrant life and spirit," expressed Naomi Kaempfer, Creative Director at Stratasys. Through the incorporation of meaningful narratives and symbolic elements that deeply connect with the wearer, these tattoos enable individuals to express and embrace their unique sense of self. This showcases the incredible impact of additive manufacturing technology in the fashion industry.
