“…With the paradigm shift of mass manufacturing around which production policies are shaped by continuous growth, continuous employment discourses, it has begun to leave its place to disruptive technologies. Disruptive technologies, including 3D printers, will be able to improve processes, performance and cost efficiency by eliminating intermediaries, simplifying existing supply chains and enabling on-demand production (Ukobitz and Faullant, 2021).…”

“…3D printing provides various advantages to users. These advantages can be listed as time efficiency, keeping less inventory, reduction in production costs according to the zero waste policy and waste reduction, product personalization, feasibility of small production batches, reduced delivery times, flexibility in design, more effective use of creativity in the production phase, use of more color options (Ukobitz & Faullant, 2021). What is more, 3D printing provides many advantages over the current production model.…”

Today's production paradigm is shaped by mass production, where production processes and tools are standardized, expertise is not taken much into account, and the same products are produced either in batches or massively in small varieties. Production is carried out in factories in certain centers, and the products produced are often distributed all over the world. There is a need for a multi-agent supply chain network and supply chain management with the stages of delivering the products to the final consumer, starting from the pre-production stage. It has become clear that the need for a complex supply chain network by producing products from a single center is no longer economical and environmentally friendly. In recent years, consumers have started to think about the harmful effects of the products they buy. Changing customer needs and demands have also made companies consider the mass customization production model. Recently, three-dimensional printing technologies, also defined as additive manufacturing technology, have emerged as a new production technology. With this disruptive technology, production models and supply chain networks are subject to change and transformation. In this study, the environmental and economic benefits of 3D printing technology are analyzed in the context of mass customization production model and supply chains.

“…e manufacturing unit of the fashion industry needs to adopt 3D printing in designing clothes and garments with sustainable materials. 3D printing has gained attention in the footwear industry to mass customization insole, outsole, and middle sole of shoes [100]. It is encouraged to use 3D printing in the other areas of the fashion industry for the benefit of achieving a sustainable manufacturing environment as it enhances time efficiency, zero-waste production, product customization, and design flexibility [101].…”

The Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations prioritize sustainability by 2030. The fashion industry is one most substantial manufacturing industries that generate an economy of 3 trillion dollars and contributes to 2% of the world’s gross domestic product. In addition to this, the fashion industry must focus on social and environmental concerns, where it should create fashionable products to promote sustainable consumption and production. Sustainable consumption and production can be achieved with the establishment of resilient infrastructure with innovation. The resilient infrastructure with innovation is realized by the integration of digital technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR). With this motivation, this study explored the different studies that implemented these technologies in the fashion industry for smart cloth (health), supply chain, circular economy, dress recommendation system, fashion trend forecasting, health prediction, and virtual and augmented based shopping experience. Along with the progress of these technologies in the fashion industry, the study also discussed limitations and provided recommendations such as wide adoption of blockchain in fashion supply chain; advancement in energy storage for smart cloth; integration of IoT, AI, and edge computing; and smart clothing-based framework for rescue operation for future enhancement.

With the development of recent technologies, novel design strategies possibilities increase day by day. 3D printing technologies, which are also known as the additive manufacturing, are announced as the technology of today as well as the future. The aim of this study is to review current literature in terms of the types of 3D printers, the raw materials, the manufacturing processes, and design examples. It is also aimed to highlight some of the well-known brands and designers in the fashion industry which employed the 3D printers to develop their fashionable structures. The main advantage of the 3D printing technologies is to ease of the creating own design without needing help. Everyone can now be their own designer and manufacturer with this technology, thanks to 3D printers, and in a few hours, they can produce the product anywhere within the preferred color and model.
