In master’s thesis 4 main 3D printing technologies (SLA, SLS, “PolyJet” and FDM) which can be applied in garment production were analyzed. During the literature analysis it was determined that FDM printing method which is known for molding melted polymer filament is the most suitable way for garment printing. This method runs on lowest expenses, uses polymers with good mechanical, chemical, thermal properties and its products production leaves almost no waste at all. At the moment if you wanted to print big 3D objects you would need a lot of time and expensive machines. Meanwhile you can weave or knit textile material noticeably faster and cheaper. So it was decided to print polymer directly onto textile. It was also noticed that rigid polymers can become a part of flexible system parts allowing soft textile to acquire new mechanical qualities and additional functionality. On the other hand, the lack of research on adhesion between 3D printing material and textile is still the main reason why this technology can’t become widely used in clothing industry. The goal of this work was to investigate various factors influence on 3D printing filaments and chiffon fabric adhesion force. Based on received results enriched functionality fashion collection should be created. For the first time, the polymer-textile system adhesion force and elongation before and after washing was evaluated according to 3D flexible filament (thermoplastic polymer) and thin chiffon fab-ric characteristics. Up to now, all the other researches were oriented on the traditional FDM printing technology materials such as PLA, ABS and nylon. During the single axis tensile experiment it was identified that combined system adhesion force depends on 3D filament chemical composition, strength, textile thickness, density and fiber structure. It was researched that the more flexible the polymer, the more bigger elongation of 3D and textile sys-tem. It was noticed that washed silk fabric with elastane has increased strength and tensility with all 3D materials. Based on research results 8 models collection were created and one prototype was prepared. Combined system is inserted into thin material with adherent silhouette fabric to reduce tension in var-ious body parts where the material usually doesn’t withstand and rip. After putting on the prototype and completing 5 dynamic moves, it was determined that “NinjaFlex” polymer and silk fabric system is strong enough to withstand the load during the motion. |
