Stratasys, Ltd. (Nasdaq:SSYS), the 3D printing and additive
manufacturing solutions company, today announced its ongoing
collaboration with fashion leader threeASFOUR and New York-based
designer Travis Fitch – debuting one of the designers’ most
elaborate and intricate 3D printed dresses during New York Fashion
Week. Entitled ‘Oscillation,’ the piece is comprised of 30
individual and highly precise multi-color, multi-material 3D
printed parts created via assembly of 270 unique design files. The
3D printed dress serves as the centerpiece for threeASFOUR’s
‘Quantum Vibrations’ collection, unveiled for the first time on
Tuesday September 13 at The Hole Gallery in New York City.

Drawing inspiration from source energies and primal, universal
vibrations, the collection explores a series of graphic 2D patterns
created in partnership with Travis Fitch. Leveraging Stratasys’
color, multi-material 3D printing technology, threeASFOUR brought
these vibrational forms to life in range of vibrantly colored 3D
printed materials – representing the designers’ most intricate and
complex creation to date.
“3D printing is transformative for designers aiming to take
complex designs and realize them as a wearable garment. In the case
of ‘Oscillation,’ Stratasys 3D printing enabled us to visualize 3D
patterns as they truly are – complex, interwoven circles of energy,
transforming in shape, color and flexibility as they radiate around
the body,” explains Adi Gil, threeASFOUR. “The stellar parallax of
the patterns, the way in which they transform as the viewing angle
changes, is only possible through 3D printing.”
The 30 unique dress components were initially printed as flat,
unwrapped patches that were later assembled on the body. With
Stratasys’ color, multi-material 3D printing capabilities,
including advanced precision and the ability to vary material
properties, the designers were able to recreate even the most
intricate vibrational patterns and geometries without compromising
the flexibility and wearability integral to the design.
Having previously taken inspiration from natural, biological
forms, threeASFOUR designers – Gabi Asfour, Angela Donhauser, and
Adi Gil – continue to reference this theme in their latest works.
‘Oscillation’ draws from an interplay of energies evident both
within the body and across the wider universe. As the third
collaboration with Stratasys, ‘Oscillation’ follows the debut of
the landmark 3D printed ‘Pangolin’ and ‘Harmonograph’ dresses in
the designers’ Fall/Winter collection at New York Fashion Week
earlier this year. These first 3D printed pieces were key to
threeASFOUR’s successful ‘Biomimicry’ collection, spurring
threeASFOUR to further test the extensive potential of Stratasys’
3D printing technology.
As Gil explains, the designers have now been able to push this
technology even further to create the new 3D printed ‘Oscillation’
dress, produced not only in varying material thicknesses, but also
in a spectrum of vivid color gradations: “The bio-inspired
coloration, corresponding to fluctuations in shape and size, is
only achievable with Stratasys PolyJet 3D printing technology. As
the nodal patterns thicken, scale, and undulate, the color
gradations respond accordingly to accentuate the geometry. Using a
vivid color range, we were able to construct a multi-dimensional
textural surface; a screenshot of a dynamic, oscillating
waveform.”
To effectively produce the gradated coloration, each print was
digitally split into nine layers of less than one millimeter in
thickness. Individual layers were assigned a particular mixture of
color and flexibility for the overall effect, with nearly 300
separate design files used to complete the landmark project.
“At Stratasys we are continually reflecting on aesthetic
discoveries to help creative minds explore uncharted grounds in
contemporary art and design that can be realized with our 3D
printing technology,” comments Naomi Kaempfer, Creative Director,
Stratasys. “With ‘Oscillation’, we are inviting our audience to
explore abstract universal ideas and thought changing concepts, and
bringing these to life in three dimensions and vivid color. With
forward-thinking projects such as this, threeASFOUR has set an
example in design innovation, and has continued to transform the
way people think about fashion.”
