Solid World GROUP enters Italy's new market for 3d printed decorated fabrics

Treviso, May 16, 2023 – Solid World Group S.p.A. (ticker S3D) (the “Company”), parent of a leading digital technologies, 3D printing and additive manufacturing Group, announces that it has begun distribution in Italy of an innovative 3D printer that makes decorated fabrics. The subsidiary Energy Group S.r.l., based in Bentivoglio in the province of Bologna, shall market it on the Italian market.

It is the Stratasys J850 TechStyle 3D printer, a 3D printer with 3DFashion technology and multi-material capabilities that can make designs and decorations directly on fabrics. With this additive technology it will be possible to make luxury clothing, footwear and accessories, offering results otherwise impossible with conventional production methods. All through Solid World Group's proprietary design and management software. The printer has a value of Euro 400 thousand.

The operation of the printer is through a fully digitized process. The design of the pattern to be imprinted on the fabric is made with CAD software to be then made with the 3D printer directly on the fabric to be enhanced. The polymer attaches to the material during processing, in an area selected by the operator, and hardens during the printing process.

The printer is capable of making decorations with more than 600,000 colors in a printing area as large as 2 square meters. The printer cabinet contains 7 material cartridges, starting from vivid colors to fully transparent, capable of supporting any design, including textures with both rigid and flexible materials.

SolidWorld Group Chairperson Roberto Rizzo comments: "3D printing is now an advanced technology that can support businesses in various sectors. The luxury fashion industry is a driving sector for the world economy, and for this sector also 3D printing offers new and innovative possibilities for those in the industry. Making decorations directly on fabrics, with 3D printing technology, allows stylists on the one hand to give room for creativity in hitherto unexplored forms. On the other hand, it is a sustainability-oriented choice, as this technology avoids material waste by making full use of available resources."
