Since my design was very complex and I wanted a high quality print, I ordered my pieces from Shapeways. To get higher resolution prints in various materials and colors I recommend Shapeways. If you don't have a 3D printer at home, look for the closest FabLab, TechShop or Maker Space in your area. Then click on File > 3D print and save the file to import it into your slicing software. In the end, select all bodies of one print and combine by selecting MODIFY > Combine. Now the design has a hole for sewing it onto the fabric. Change the appearance and physical material in SETUP in order to match the material of your future print.īefore printing, I sketched half a loop right where the print is going to touch the fabric and choose the settings CREATE > Extrude > Operation > Cut. This gives you a nice preview of how your printed design will look. In the next step you'll learn how to model around your 3D pattern.Īfter finishing your designs, you can click on MODEL in the left corner and select RENDER in the drop down menu. A new input window will pop up right next to your face in which you specify the distance to extrude. Select the face of the pattern and open the 'EXTRUDE' function, which you can find in the menu bar or under the drop down menu 'CREATE'. If you want to design 3D pieces for your design, it's helpful to add some depth to your pattern. Use the arrows to move the pattern on the work plane and click 'stop sketch' whenever it's in the right position. Your digital pattern is now imported in the 3D modeling software.
Go back to the 'OPEN SVG' window and click on the little gray folder to open up a new Finder Window and select your file. Select a plane in your 3D work enviroment to work with. In Fusion 360, from the menu bar select INSERT > INSERT SVG and a new window with the title 'OPEN SVG' will pop up. However, I'm continuing with Fusion 360 for the rest of the Instructable. It's also possible in less complex software, like Tinkercad. After creating the digital copy of the pattern, we are now going to import the file into our 3D modeling software.
