In this bachelor thesis, we have studied the application of the system for fastening clothes directly to textile materials using a 3D printer. The theoretical part describes the basics of 3D printing and layer-by-layer modeling technology FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) and its application to textile surfaces.
The aim of this research work is to develop an absolutely usable garment fastening system.
The first step of our work was in a computer program Blender, 3D modeling of a clothing fastening system.
First we modeled in a computer program Blender, 3D system for fastening clothes and textiles. Then we 3D printed the models on three different textile materials (cotton, polyester mesh, and a finished material intended for making windbreakers). We printed on a WANHAO Duplicator 4S 3D printer using FDM printing technology. The prototype pushers were printed using two different thermoplastic filaments. The first 3D filament we used was the polylactic acid (PLA) thermoplastic filament. The second was the acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) thermoplastic filament. The fastening system was printed directly onto the textile material in two ways. The first method was printing directly on the textile material and the second was printing in a sandwich structure. Printing in sandwich structure means that when we printed the pusher, we put textile material in between when printing the slider. The lower part was printed first on the printing table and the upper part was printed directly on the textile material.
The results of the printed presses were compared. The printing was successful only on the polyester mesh with PLA thermoplastic material. But even this combination of printing was not good enough. In the end, with the help of experiments on 3D printing of the press directly on textile materials, we proved that the classic press will not be replaced by 3D printed fastening systems for some time.
