Abstract
Applications of 3D printing in fashion industry are numerous, including 3D printing geometries on textile fabrics, printing parts of the garments, or even the entire garment. A crucial point of making such polymer/textile combinations usable is the adhesion between both materials. Investigations related to this adhesion, however, are still scarce. Similarly, the influence of 3D printed patterns on the geometries and the mechanical parameters of textile fabrics are only rarely examined. Continuing our previous research, the experiments shown here illustrate the influence of different printing parameters on the adhesion between fabrics and 3D printing polymer. These results will support other researchers as well as fashion designers in developing new 3D garment shapes by combining common textile fabrics with the relatively new possibility of 3D printing.
