Video transcript: 3D printed wearables are shifting from the plastic pieces of questionable comfort worn by runway models to the soft sorts of materials that everyday consumers might actually have an interest in. This year, we've already seen a 3D knitting machine and a company working on a 3D printing loom. Along with the work of Dutch designer Borre Akkersdijk, 3D printed clothing may actually become an actuality this year. And where there is 3D printed clothing there is wearable technology.
Akkersdijk believes that the current generation of wearable technology is not so much something you wear as something you attach to yourself. According to the designer, wearable technology does not exist at all. It's carry-able technology. To transform carry-able technology into a wearable form, he created the BB.Suit, a strange onesie made through a semi-automated process and embedded with a variety of gadgets.
The designer's technique can only roughly be described as 3D sewing or knitting because, after the materials are stitched together automatically, they require the use of a sewing machine to manually sew together different pieces.
The BB.Suit made its first major public debut at SXSW this year. The suit, containing Wifi, GPS, NFC, and Bluetooth components, turned its wearer into a mobile wi-fi hotspot so that, as the BB.Suit model walked around the event, users were encouraged to upload songs to a playlist on a purpose-built website.
As fashion is continually redesigned and aligned with our electronic lifestyles, the suit could become the epitome of cool.
