The aim of this study is to review current literature in terms of the types of 3D printers, the raw materials, the manufacturing processes, and design examples. It is also aimed to highlight some of the well-known brands and designers in the fashion industry which employed the 3D printers to develop their fashionable structures. The main advantage of the 3D printing technologies is to ease of the creating own design without needing help. Everyone can now be their own designer and manufacturer with this technology, thanks to 3D printers, and in a few hours, they can produce the product anywhere within the preferred color and model. Keywords: Additive manufacturing (3D), technical fashion, polylactic acid, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene. PRIMENA PROIZVODNJE ADITIVA (3D ŠTAMPA) U TEHNIČKOJ MODNOJ INDUSTRIJI Apstrakt: Sa razvojem novih tehnologija, novih strategija dizajna mogućnosti svakim danom bivaju sve veće. Tehnologija 3D štampe, takođe poznata kao proizvodnja aditiva, predstavljena je kao tehnologija sadašnjosti ali i budućnosti. Cilj ovog istraživanja ogleda se u pregledu trenutne literature po pitanju tipa 3D štampača, sirovih materijala, proizvodnih procesa i primera dizajna. Cilj je takođe da se istaknu neki od dobro poznatih brendova i dizajnera u modnoj industriji koji primenjuju 3D štampače za razvoj modnih struktura. Osnovna prednost tehnologije 3D štampe je olakšano kreiranje sopstvenih dizajna bez potrebe za dodatnom pomoći. Zahvaljujući 3D štampačima sada svako može biti dizajner i proizvođač, a za nekoliko sati može proizvesti proizvod bilo gde u okviru željene boje i modela. Ključne reči: proizvodnja aditiva (3D), tehnička moda, polilaktična kiselina, akrilonitril butadien stiren. Review paper UDC: 687.1:655.1:004.04 doi: 10.5937/tekstind2102004D 1. INTRODUCTION Fashion is the process by which a product becomes popular within a given time frame and encompasses traditions or styles. Fashion is frst accepted by a few people, and in course of time it begins to be accept- ed by everyone. Then its popularity wanes [1, 2]. On the other hand, fashion design is a general term used for the work done by using the information required for design in order to create trend pieces created with this interest. “Haute couture” and “ready-to-wear” are the two types of fashion design [3]. Haute couture has a French origin, it means personalized sewing. In haute couture parts, the product to be designed are made with great care and attention by the hands of workmanship, using expensive and high-quality fab-
