Bespoke tailoring for everyone? Wiivv Wearables launch new 3D printing app

Wiivv可穿戴设备, a Canadian 3D printing start-up, aims to revolutionize the way people shop. Their plan is to bring at end to ordering the wrong size clothes when shopping online. To do this the company have launched an app that allows the user to quickly scan their feet. The app also means that the price of the 3D printed insoles Wiivv Wearables produces will drop significantly from $300 to below $100.

该应用程序相对易于使用,可以下载并在大约10分钟内(通过Facebook创建个人资料或使用您自己的数据),您将通过扫描过程进行引导。您需要卷起牛仔裤或裤子,找到一张纸和墙壁,然后按照屏幕指南进行操作,以便您完成测量过程。每只脚的五张照片都从不同角度创建准确的模型。然后,该应用程序为您提供了创建完整或3/4长的鞋垫的选项,然后将其传递给您。

The process is quite similar to New York based company,2015年推出了类似服务的feetz.

Future plans for 3D printing fashion

For now, soles are all Wiivv Wearables produce but they have plans for clothing creation as well as sportswear. The scanning technique is processed by the company’s algorithms and could be expanded to other items of clothing, eliminating the need to visit a tailor and also potentially bringing the price of bespoke clothing down. 3D printing is often spoken about in terms of the ability for mass customization, so this is a fascinating example of putting this into practice.
