It was incredible to watch this on the quest. To feel like I was in the cave with Sophy - wow! We live in incredible times

[@hentaimonster]

@@msmknz I think you need to step outside and get some fresh air. You have a lot of hate inside of you.

[@d-granter5126]

wonderful -howaya sorry to be so annoying but let me tell ye im making headway we need to update convention centres so imagine if they all link up with this mission progress space studios hosting space hotel layouts and mars rover prototypes etc e.s.a the European space agency is funding 50,000 to whoever opens a new arcadia with space satellite vendors and the whole nine yards but i havnt got the contacts a maker space with robotics, a.i showcasing and computer building a random crafts lounge possibly called the crazy alien A.I cafe with perpetual motion marble machines and so on.. a global innovation platform staring the footprint coalition with global projects and tourguides and displays on clean energy, vertical farming and so on other concepts range from parcel drones to robo chefs and lawnmowers to hairdressers to u.v micro herb incubators and artists impressions of med beds with sci fi partician walls you start to build a picture,, possibly key card access to certain zones with sensitive tech oceanic robotics demos for recycling and gold collecting small submarines id love a rooftop garden dome with solar water features and violins but that probably a bit down the line if you can pull this off then youll find me waiting to connect from a convention centre from god knows where but the plan is to connect them all and build more better versions i just need help with writing this out clearer and as a promotion flyer for recruiting more vendors robots and people lost looking for a mission go on help me rewrite this wonderful crazy masterpiece lol

[@D0S81]

i gotta ask, how long does the plastic last for? i saw a documentary on a museum trying to find ways to preserve items from like the 1920's and stuff made from plastic, with things like glasses, and art pieces etc, and apparently its very hard because the plastic degrades over time way quicker than something made from stone or wood or metal, and the plastic begins changing and getting sticky etc. the other thing i saw was someone with a huge action figure collection, and his teenage mutant ninja turtles despite being only 30 years old, if that, the plastic has actually become sticky enough that he can stick them to a wall and they stay there. pieces like these costumes, and even 3D printed artwork, how the heck do you preserve something like that for future generations?

[@Caddy666]

well, this is the first time in my life that i've ever been interested in fashion.

[@SharmClucas]

I really want to see a sci-fi movie with Sophy Wong as the costume designer. This is the type of futuristic look I could see actually happening.

[@nigelfrasier2253]

These were my exact sentiments lol. My mind went straight to X-men

[@itsblackseph]

loving these guest spots recently, with so many different and amazing makers, it's really very cool!

[@OtherSarrah]

I LOVE Sophy Wong!! She is an absolute gem, and I was so delighted to meet her as a guest at SiliCon this last year! What an amazing maker she is!

[@lucia_guedan]

As a fashion student, the innovation of the making that Sophy Wong uses is incredible. For instance using the seams or biding to hide cables or putting pieces together with a 3D own rather than sewing. So inspiring

[@khaderach19]

Have you not heard of Iris Van Herpen? Shes been doing with work for years.

[@SEBKing06]

@@khaderach19 I know right

[@nigel-uno]

It's still just 3D printed cosmetics on top of a traditional mesh garment. Costume makers have been doing this for decades if not millennia to make intricate detailing. The only innovation here is that it's a lot less pain staking to prototype and create.

[@bobrobertsNotUrBob]

That 1st jacket would be great for people who ride motorcycles at night, so not just for fashion but for extra safety. She should look into holographic chocolate, as the holographic look doesnt come from a layer of plastic but the structure of the surface the chocolate is pored onto. I have been designing futuristic clothing for a while now , I would love to speak with her and maybe do a piece together, it would really show off a whole new dimension in fashion design and show what 3d printing is actually capable of.

[@michealkinney6205]

Dude, that's an amazing idea.. what if your glass bed surface had the holographic layer on it? Every print (assuming you didn't destroy the texture) would be holographic on the flat side.

[@bobrobertsNotUrBob]

@@michealkinney6205 yh, that was the idea. maybe one day we will see something like that.

[@Danuxsy]

you know something even better that doesn't require batteries? Exactly reflex vests like wow that hasn't been around for two decades now...

[@davidcor8484]

@@Danuxsy Yeah, Sure but you can not go to a Party using Reflex!!. But You could use the jacket turned off. So you could only turn on the back of the jacket while you are riding.

[@_Kyprioth_]

@@Danuxsy A reflex vest does not serve the same purpose. A reflex vest does not produce its own light. In addition, the lighted jacket could easily be programmed to more clearly show things like turn signals more clearly. Also, going from casual wear/street wear and bike wear fluidly is not at all possible with a reflex vest. That isn’t even factoring in practical aspects such as wind protection and even armoured protection for riding. Ultimately, a reflex vest and this jacket could not be interchangeable when functioning as a bike jacket.

[@BlitzCityDIY]

Sophy is so talented and also a genuinely kind person. so happy to see her work getting the recognition it deserves

[@UncleJessy]

Oh my goodness these are just amazing

[@JayFolipurba]

I love the creator showcase. Using the platform to highlight fellow artists, as well as seeing Adam's excitement about all the awesome stuff he himself isn't so familiar with is just awesome

[@LeVraiPoio]

That shine wave at 20:26. This on a long dress, the shine effect when someone walks and the drapé follows smoothly with that incredible specular shine. Or even on long large hanging sleeves, like techno mage robe or something. This is awesome, we need more of it.

[@JasonPatz]

I think videos like this are some of the most important ones this channel provides. It excites me to think of all the young designers you are inspiring by showcasing this kind of talent.

[@omaverick2870]

This is the reason why I love looking at different skillset that is out of your major. Something like, as a graphic designer you can always learn something from an example a ballerina or a pilot. The technique may be so different but the dicipline is always the same.

[@DFMurray]

That dress looks like something that would be at home in the Foundation show. It looks so futuristic and modern. Amazing!

[@CHARCHAD9]

I remember first seeing 3D printing on fabric 4 years ago. That was like Scales or Armor. So cool to see a full dress.

[@86fifty]

I absolutely love the Show and Tell's Adam does with other makers! That is SUCH a good use of the platform, and gives us viewers new people to follow and appreciate! :)

[@IanGrams]

I really love these "Look and Ask" type episodes with other makers. It's a joy to watch them share their work and see Adam so excited about all the possibilities that have just been opened up to him. Sophy's work is beautiful and it was really interesting to see and hear about her iterative and explorative approach to creating it.

[@hazonku]

Sophy is an absolute treasure trove of knowledge. While most of us were still just fildding with swatches of tulle just trying to figure out optimal layer heights & best practices to get this to work at all Sophy was already miles ahead with numerous real world applications & developing that institutional knowledge and design philosophy. She's DEFINITELY my favorite person when it comes to wearable prints and one of my favorite makers in general. She always has an answer, and in many cases several answers with the various pros & cons for each approach.

[@teknophyle1]

fashion and cosplay are not my jam but that technique is still really fascinating. Its like she figured out how to apply a 3D modeling texture to a person.

[@TrevorHigginsDustysqueak]

I'm such a fan of Sophy's work. It was cool to chat at project egress. Thanks for the feature Tested.

[@TitanicDwarf]

The possibilities this video inspires is staggering. Wow, can't wait to see more. Thanks Adam, and Sophy.

[@shirish93]

Adam, come a decade or two, I can foresee your Tested work being a bigger inspiration to creators and engineers and artists and more people generally, than your work with -- dare I say -- Mythbusters! Thanks so much Adam, your passion for all of this clearly shows in these videos, and it's obvious you have a clear vision of where you want yourself (and the community) to be, and are taking us all towards your vision! Thanks man!

[@timgarrett203]

Adam so wanted to put that hat/wig piece on his head!😅 Beautiful work!

[@NochSoEinKaddiFan]

That was some of the most wholesome nerd chat I have ever whitnessed. And amazing ideas born from a seemingly simple concept

[@jcortese3300]

Wow, that idea of printing on netting is effing brilliant ... and using a 3d pen to seam it all together! Amazing, amazing creator.

[@joaoestevam9703]

As someone who went to art college, this video is a masterclass. It shows how artists create and reveals some important aspects of the creative process: the repetitive and iterative discovery of the aesthetic characteristics of the material; the acceptance of it as it is, not as a simulacrum of another material; the use of the unavoidable seams to create patterns instead of accepting it as a flaw, and the rebellion against the normal process of printing by inserting a net mid-process, or not using it as it was supposed to, submitting it to her desired outcome. These and Adam's last comment about knowing the direction after jumping head-first into the project make for a great interview!!!!

[@MakiPavlidis]

The garments are amazing I love them - but what I love more is hearing about the process, the interation approach and the knowledge, techniques that come from it. Really inspiring. Go Sophie!

[@lennescustomcreations]

This is soo amazing. I wish I could see her shop and how she has it set up with all the different fabrics versus 3d printed items and so forth... It look soooo organized and amazing. This was great thank you

[@tomspoli]

The second dress looks like something Xena would wear. Awesome.

[@MeatSim9]

That bit Adam said about something not working for a current project but has future potential is something I've always liked. "From the ashes of disaster grow the roses of success."

[@EvilTedSmith]

Huge fan of Sophy. I got to meet her at Silicon!!

[@austinwagner3231]

I gasped when she turned on the lights for the first time. So cool

[@zombieloveserte]

Wow!!!! I want a whole fashion show! Those pieces are so cool!

[@ficklampa]

Sophy is so badass. Been following her work for a while and it’s so cool to see someone that’s found their niche and really exploring it like this. Keep on rocking, 3d printing queen!

[@My2Drumsticks]

She is absolutely brilliant. Ground breaking.

[@lexp6099]

This is so cool, thank you for highlighting Sophy Wong's work! If anyone is interested in a high-fashion version (in the sense that it's on the runway) of 3D printed garments, check out Iris Van Herpen's stuff.

[@DecanFrost]

I could see Padmé Amidala wear that headdress, such a cool way to use 3d printing

[@abbofun9022]

That collar was like a whole bunch of castanets, super cool.

[@julieisthatart]

I absolutely LOVE it. My generation (boomer) celebrated the dawn of a new age. Now, half a century has passed, and you wonderful people have started the work day of the new age. This clothing you are inventing is so new, beautiful, innovative. Your generation is doing it. Thank you.

[@malwareinc]

3d printed fashion is definetley the coolest thing I've seen all year.

[@kevincozens6837]

It is amazing to see what people are doing with 3D printing and how it is being used in completely unexpected ways. Combine that with the variety of filaments being created for people to use with their 3D printers and you get some really incredible objects.

[@josephalexander3884]

This is fantastic, blending maker with artisan. Very creative. Thank you for sharing.

[@moreloveandjoy]

The pieces are so gentle and flexible - not what I associate with 3D printing. Love it!

[@andyrobson7686]

I'd never heard os Sophy Wong before. The stuff she's doing with 3D printing is amazing. The headress looked like something from the Star Wars universe and the glove looked like it would fit into Blade Runner. I could see Adam thinking about a new spacesuit design when he was wearing the glove. Thanks for sharing, Adam.

[@Merennulli]

I'm always amazed at the new developments with 3D printing. Sophy's approach here is absolute genius.

[@EastBroadTop]

Adam, Thank you! Sophy's work is so cool! This is the best of design and art.

[@NicksStuff]

That dress is absolutely fucking amazing

[@bits2646]

Getting closer to cyberpunk with fashion, love the leather jacket

[@johnwjensen]

I love this so much. How have I not heard of Sophy Wong before? This stuff is amazing.

[@leslyeschoenhuth3515]

* That Printing Process is Exploding the Costumes of the Future. OMG ~ Thank you for showing all of her pieces.. Can't wait to see more.. The Glove was astonishing.. THANKS!!

[@dorsk84]

This is some Hunger Games level stuff.

[@scottmantooth8785]

*thought the same thing*

[@CalvinHikes]

Is impressive. A lot more interesting than I thought it would be! She's fun.

[@colinfielder6695]

Just more ingenious ideas for 3D printing, Love it!

[@aphaits]

Getting great art deco vibes from the pieces, especially the dress and the wig.

[@MysticJhn]

This stuff really blows my mind. When I think about 3D printing, I think of the typical things that get printed. Mechanical parts and models to be painted, scaled down items, test items. Things with a functional purpose. These things on display in this video, however, have more of that artistic life sort of feel as opposed to the hardware feel of your typical 3D item. What Sophy and others like her are doing really is expanding what I imagine 3D printers doing and how creative they can really get. The flexible integration of that mesh fabric was just something else.

[@HisameArtwork]

adam always has the best hosts, thanks for telling us about her. I saw this kind of stuff before and didn't find it that interesting, but now that I get a closer look it's more exiting.

[@fluiditynz]

This is so fascinating to see another person who's passion is design and who has creativity and skill.

[@djw48]

That’s the future of wardrobe design in movies right there….👏🏼

[@AvengerII]

I'm thinking the same. She'll be hired for a project in the future, or someone will "homage" her work! 😅

[@matthewdunstone4431]

Bravo! Adam, you bring me the best stuff! Thank you to Sophie for sharing her incredible work!

[@DanielCooper1]

This is absolutely thrilling, just like Adam said. AMAZING! So cool!

[@DorifutoRabbit]

This is fantastic work, the pink/yellow headdress gives me Lilu Dallas Fifth Element vibes in the best way. The future is now!

[@punishedprops]

Extraordinary work! Sophy is amazing. =D

[@Hypnotech3]

Oh my God, I've been doing 3D modeling and design for as long as I can rememeber. More recently in the last year pivoting to 3D printing. I do all sorts of mechanical and quirky things. This is a technique that I have got to try. Amazing work and love it so much. Sophy Wong is now a new favorite inspiration.

[@PatDooley50]

Love love love to see Sophy's work. She is a brilliant creator and so generous sharing her knowledge with so many tutorials on Adafruit, Make magazine and more. It would be THRILLING to see her work at the Met or in a movie. She is already creating work for music videos.

[@newt2010]

Sooooooo cool. I have 2 3D printers, and have never thought about this type of printing. Incredible. Love you ch Adam.

[@Emulation_Inflation]

Wtf! That's genius! Simple ideas like this are awsome.

[@chriscosentino3057]

This is absolutely fantastic! The possibilities are endless!

[@ZonDog]

Wow, that's cutting edge stuff!

[@toyotaboyhatman]

when I first saw makers 3d print logos directly onto shirts I thought "ooh, this could be a game changer", but seeing it at this level I realize how much possibility there really is.

[@evans_workshop]

Totally amazing work Sophy! Thank you for sharing!

[@marcch72]

The 3dprinded with the mesh imbeded between the bottom layers is a nice touch

[@AxeTheSingaporean]

I love these maker highlights. So cool to see what other people are doing. It really inspires me.

[@coregeek]

Sophy is one of my favorite makers and people. I’ve seen all of theses pieces in person and they are next level!

[@makeitreal1851]

This is amazing stuff. During the Pandemic I printed PETG masks over a dual layer cotton fabric and loved it. Love doing this and love love the jacket.

[@lqqkout8214]

Back-to-back guests who were also speakers at the Hackaday Superconference! I'm so glad they're getting more exposure :D

[@lastshadow9351]

Sophy was amazing as usual! I love it when she stops in and shows what she's been up to!

[@Atljeepboy]

I never thought about 3D printing regarding fashion but it's beautiful and fantastic.

[@Jimiai]

This is crazy! I would have loved to see her designing process in software.

[@lupusk9productions]

omg this was so exciiting to watch! love the passion for the craft of both of you!

[@odizm5196]

this is strait up futuristic like something out of Sci-fi and Amazing

[@Joe___R]

An easy way to test a design before you print it would be to use a cnc router to cut it out of a thin sheet of ridge foam glued to a fabric backer. Once the cnc router is finished, you can easily run a blade between the pieces to separate them. You probably wouldn't even need to do that if you get it thin enough from the cut, it wou just break as soon as it is flexed. This should be able to save you days of print time on redesigns.

[@MischeifMakerz]

This was really cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@hypnotubenews]

this is just amazing. imagine the possibilities. comic con here I come in my new 3d printed clothing
