Sust3DFashion
Textile and Fashion Manufacturing towards Industry 4.0
Sust3DFashion is a 24-month partnership focused on promoting innovation in the textile and fashion manufacturing sector through 3D printing, while emphasizing circular economy and environmental sustainability. The project aligns with EU policies that advocate for sustainable and circular textiles. It aims to provide vocational education and training (VET) to industry experts, enhancing their skills in digital innovation and sustainable production. By creating synergies between the technology and digital sectors, Sust3DFashion seeks to aid the transition to Industry 4.0, particularly crucial following the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on European SMEs. The project will develop innovative learning materials, including MOOCs, to equip VET learners with the knowledge to apply 3D design and printing in the textile and fashion industries.
