- 3D Printed SurfaceThis textile is a normal mesh enhanced by a FDM (fused deposition modelling) 3D printer that prints a layer of flexible material onto the textile. This technique gives structure and rigidity to the textile where it is really required, for example, in the front part of a shoe or within the sole. This process can also be used create something more fashionable, like a woman's handbag.
