Danit Peleg and Maya Kaplan use 3D printing to rethink textiles as digitally engineered material systems rather than conventionally woven fabrics. Their work relies on flexible polymer filaments, particularly thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), chosen for their elasticity, durability, and fabric-like behavior. Garments are created through additive manufacturing, where computationally designed lattice and knit-inspired structures are printed layer by layer to control stretch, support, and flexibility while reducing material waste and enabling customized, on demand production.
