Notes

Over the years, I’ve identified nine different ways to 3D print fabrics. In this article, I’m thrilled to share one with you: the lace method. If you’ve ever wanted to create intricate, detailed textiles that would take forever by hand, this technique is for you. Best of all, you just need a bit of 2D graphics know-how and access to vector software. I typically use Adobe Illustrator, but for this article, I’ll walk you through the steps using Affinity Designer’s free trial to keep things as accessible as possible.
