3D printing on fabric and robotics
Maker Faire Bay Area 2019

David Shorey
I've spent a good chunk of my career in visual effects, but then found other avenues of creativity in the form of robotics, machining, and 3D printing. I started diving into 3D printing because of all the creative freedom and challenges it provides.
I will show how 3d printing of fabric can be used for Cosplay Fashion. I am also showing the new robotic tools I am creating to assist in the process and help people with tasks that require high level of dexterity.
What inspired you to make this project?:
There's something either stops or pushes a maker, and that is their own limits. For me, my dexterity has hindered some of my creative endeavors, but 3D printing has allowed me to circumvent that. The mixing of 3D printing and fabrics allows people to develop fashion without the need to sew or glue.
