At the Edinburgh Festival in August this year, Covestro showcased the world's first 3D printed flexible cheongsam.
This is Covestro's expertise in materials and technology, constantly pushing the boundaries to promote the commercialization and mass production of 3D printing Another latest attempt
.
Made of 100% Covestro flexible thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), this traditional Chinese women's clothing offers designers greater freedom of design and creates endless possibilities for 3D printing
.
"By collaborating with industry leaders such as Covestro, we are constantly exploring multiple possibilities to subvert the fashion industry

Unlike traditional materials, which have frictional resistance when interlacing (warp and weft), 3D printing materials can further improve accuracy due to the fusion interlacing of the manufacturing process
.
In addition, the use of 3D printing technology can reduce material consumption and achieve a one-piece part to simplify the production process, thereby reducing production costs and labor costs
.
The TPU used in 3D printing has excellent abrasion resistance, color fastness and UV resistance
.
In addition, TPU can also be recycled and reused, making recycling possible
.
Sustainability is becoming more and more urgent in a rapidly changing fashion world facing enormous challenges of material waste and massive emissions, and the aforementioned characteristics of TPU have created a whole new avenue for the global apparel industry
.
Wang Yifang, Additive Manufacturing Business Development Manager of Covestro Asia Pacific, said: "With Covestro's years of experience in footwear materials and 3D printing application development capabilities, we will continue to strengthen cooperation with upstream and downstream leading companies to promote 3D printing.
The commercialization of technology in the footwear industry
.
”
A new era of digital manufacturing
A new era of digital manufacturing Covestro's Shanghai 3D Printing Lab aims to provide localized services to customers and partners in the Asia-Pacific region
.
The company has a variety of filaments, powders and liquid resins suitable for mainstream 3D printing technology, and has been committed to accelerating the commercialization and mass production of 3D printing, and developing the industrial application of 3D printing technology
.
The products introduced by Covestro have several common properties, such as: toughness, heat resistance, transparency, color fastness and flexibility, which can better support industrial applications of 3D printing
.
"With our expertise and technology in materials, we insist on cooperating with upstream and downstream leading companies to lead a new era of digital manufacturing and promote the commercialization of new 3D printing applications,
" said Wang Yifang
