Nervous System created a 4D dress using their Kinematics System, which is a 4D printing system that generates complex, fold-able forms. The dress is made up of 2,279 unique triangular panels interconnected by 3,316 hinges in nylon fabrication.

The Kinematics System is great, because there is no need to put pieces together. A garment {dress, skirt or shirt} is ready to wear when it comes out of the printer!

Nervous System also created the Kinematics Cloth – their first app for clothing. 

This 4D dress below was produced in about 48 hours, using Shapeways factory in NYC.

Neiman Marcus has 3D-printed Jewelry

3D-printing is on the rise {not just clothes} jewelry + others are taking a piece of the action. Neiman Marcus is amongst the few who are testing the waters. They just added two 3D-printed pieces online {a necklace $295 & a desk sculpture for $395}.

The cool thing about this is Neiman Marcus wont be holding the product for purchase; the customer orders the piece they want and its a guaranteed three week turnaround. Products will be produced and shipped by Shapeways {3D-printing company}. This is a great business move for Neiman Marcus...less risk and a great way to introduce a new product to their customers.
