Rapid Prototyping Manufacturing Method and Its Application Prospect in Textile and Apparel Manufacturing

In recent years, rapid prototyping manufacturing technology represented by 3D printing has been widely applied in various fields. As a brand new manufacturing method, rapid prototyping manufacturing is favored by more and more industries and has great development potential and wide application prospect due to its characteristics of additive manufacturing, extremely high utilization ratio of materials, personalized manufacturing and conformance to product manufacturing with complicated structure. This paper introduces several mature rapid prototyping methods in the current stage, analyzes technical principles of each method, prototyping process, materials used and development bottleneck, and meanwhile analyzes the application prospect of rapid prototyping manufacturing especially 3D printing technology in textile and apparel manufacturing and key technologies to be solved according to industrial characteristics of textile and clothing manufacturing. The analysis shows that the research and development of new materials and the development of special prototyping equipment are the premise of wider application of rapid prototyping manufacturing in each industry as well as the key to its application in textile and apparel manufacturing. Mutual complementation and integration of rapid prototyping manufacturing as a new manufacturing method and traditional manufacturing methods is the development trend of manufacturing in the future.
