3D printing has been making the headlines for a while now. And now, it is opening up a whole new world for the fashion industry.

The global fashion scene first saw 3D printed clothes paraded on the catwalk at Paris Fashion Week in 2013. The acclaimed collection was created by designer Iris Van Herpen using 3D printers. In the same year, Victoria’s Secret also jumped on the bandwagon with its first pair of 3D-printed wings during its world-renowned annual show.

Volumental, a Swedish footwear company, recently created a revolutionary service where customers are able to scan their feet and get shoes with the exact measurements perfect fit.
