California , where they are working together to create more wearable filament with a fabric-feel that is both printable and 100 % recyclable . Her first garments were made with Filaflex , a flexible filament for 3D printers , which , although soft , is not exactly suitable for everyday wear . Her soon-to-be-released filament will bring fashion designers one step closer to printing clothing that can be worn on a daily basis .

In an attempt to ensure 3D fashion printing does not lose momentum , Danit has developed her own
online course , teaching students how to embark on their own 3D fashion design journey . She hopes to have more people learn about it as the digital age has opened the door to incredible opportunities for young designers . With this democratization of fashion , they can easily upload their designs online and potentially go viral as the entire digital world will now be their audience .
The 3D design and print process does not have a steep learning curve . Using Accumark 3D , the garment ’ s pattern is designed for dress , jacket , etc . - any pattern can be accommodated . The pattern , in pdf format , is dragged into the software , Blender , in which the 3D modeling design takes place . Here , the density of the fabric , its structure etc ., can be decided . You will be limited only by your imagination , however complex . When complete , you print , then assemble . Or , the file can be emailed to your client . This process is completely digital from the first step to the last .
Danit constantly promotes the sustainability features of 3D garment production . Garments are recyclable and provide a sustainable alternative to what is currently being used by the fashion industry . With 3D , there is no inventory , zero waste and no shipping costs . Over 15 % of textile is wasted as fabric is cut to make an outfit . It all ends up in the landfill . With 3D , there are no leftovers . What you see on the computer screen is what will be printed . No cutting and no waste . When you have no more use for a 3D outfit , it can be fed into a small , desktop recycling machine that will crush it into powder which you can use to produce more filament to make new clothing . Pigment and dies can be added to the filament to get desired colours . Highlighting the circular 3D Digital fashion model that has been created , Danit encourages designers to “ download digital file , print , wear , recycle , produce new filament , repeat the process .”
Danit Peleg does not own a clothing store nor does she take orders for outfits . Working out of her studio in Tel Aviv , she is focused on research and development to find better 3D garment print solutions . She seeks out creative collaborations , consults , and is often sought for speaking engagements on matters relating to her industry . Danit views her role as being that of an educator , preparing the next generation for the 3D fashion printing wave that will revolutionize the garment industry .

“ I ’ m finding more alternatives to the way clothing is produced today ,” she said , “ and the next generation will be a huge part of what is now evolving .”
The files of her first 3D fashion collection are now available as digital assets -
