At the 2020 Hackaday Remoticon [Billie Ruben] came to us from across the sea to demonstrate how to use 3D printing and fabric, or other flexible materials, to fabricate new and interesting creations.

New research from WSU has demonstrated a 3D ink-printingmethod for smart fabrics that performs well after washing and abrasion tests.

Different printing methods work better with certain fabrics. For example, dye sublimation works best on polyester or light-colored shirts, while discharge printing fits dark cotton shirts perfectly.
