What 3-D Printing Means for the Fashion and Retail Industries

3-D printing and what it means for the fashion and retail industries was the focus of a discussion that took place during the FashionWare session at CEWeek in New York City yesterday.

3-D printing in the fashion and retail space involves enabling consumers to purchase and download a design online and print it off at home. At the moment, designers mostly use the technology for prototyping, but printing real product gets closer to reality every day.
