When 3D Printing Meets Fashion Trends
Redefining Future Living
Fashion Industry Earthquake!
Playing with “Shoe Cubism” through 3D Printing
FUTURE TECHNOLOGY
01
The hottest topic in the fashion industry recently is undoubtedly Converse’s “Walking Square Box”! Created by artist Edgar Veils in collaboration with 3D printing pioneer Anycubic, the Cubverse shoe completely subverts people’s imagination of canvas shoes—”square toe + square sole + geometric angles”, resembling a three-dimensional sculpture that has “walked out” of a game model, it went viral on social media upon release.

Code of Fashion
Deconstructing the Classic Trend Code
Anti-Traditional Aesthetics: Abandoning the iconic round toe and curved sole, reconstructing the shoe body with 90-degree angles, every edge is as precise as digital modeling, a true representation of “shoe maximalism”;
Material Mixing Art: The cotton canvas upper retains the retro feel of canvas shoes, while the 3D printed resin sole exudes a sense of future technology, allowing one to feel the delicate texture of the printed layers upon touch;
Subtle Tribute: The “CUB STAR” logo on the side of the shoe subtly echoes the classic Converse star logo, a gentle nod to the brand’s genetic heritage hidden within the avant-garde design.

Technological Revolution
It is a “Technological Revolution in the Fashion World”
Traditional shoemaking requires complex processes such as mold making and injection molding, while Cubverse achieves “from blueprint to sample in just 72 hours” through 3D scanning and parametric design. This “on-demand production” model makes rapid iteration of limited editions and collaborations possible—imagine, the trendy shoes you see online today could be on your feet tomorrow, this is the “rapid responsiveness” that 3D printing brings to fashion.

Digital Tailor of the Fashion World
TECHNOLOGY
Hollow Dress Becomes Reality in Seconds: At the future fashion week, designers used nylon powder to 3D print hollow skirts resembling butterfly wings, weighing only 1/5 of traditional metal frameworks, yet capable of supporting exaggerated three-dimensional silhouettes;
New Interpretation of Sustainable Fashion: Brands are using ocean plastic waste to 3D print Futurecraft Loop running shoes, which can be directly crushed and reprinted after use, truly achieving “zero waste recycling”.
Printing “Trend Sense” into Life Scenarios
TECHNOLOGY
Personalized Home Decor Becomes Art: Using an FDM printer to create a geometric lamp base (PLA material, 8 hours printing), and a pop-style wall hanging (colored resin, layered printing gradient effect), turning a rental apartment into an Instagram-worthy spot;
Freedom of Customizable Toys is Not a Dream: A “Genshin Impact” player printed a 1:10 movable version of Nahida using photosensitive resin, with detail precision comparable to high-end figures costing thousands, yet the cost is under 200 yuan—3D printing makes “everything customizable” a reality.
Everything is Customizable
The Future is Here
When Your Shoe Cabinet Starts to “Grow”

Imagine such a living scenario:
→ Waking up in the morning, the mobile app automatically generates a shoe model based on the outfit of the day, and the 3D printer starts working simultaneously, allowing you to wear new shoes by breakfast time;
→ At a music festival, scan on-site to customize a fluorescent hollow shoe cover, becoming the center of attention with the lighting effects;
→ Old shoes are no longer discarded, after scanning, use eco-friendly materials to “reprint” the damaged parts, giving the item a second life.
This is not a science fiction movie, but a “future living scenario” that 3D printing is weaving. When the barriers to manufacturing are broken, everyone can become a designer of trends—after all, what could be cooler than “wearing creativity”?
