Known for designing haute couture bridal dresses combining vintage style and classic modern chic,

Ada Hefetz is renowned for constantly pushing the boundaries of design. This is her first completed project using 3D printing.

The three unique dresses are based on Hefetz’s “Flower of Life” theme and were produced using Stratasys’ 3D Fashion technology. They were recently showcased at Milan Design Week. The eye-catching wedding dresses feature complex geometrical shapes, depicting the “Flower of Life“, a sacred geometry dating back to ancient Egypt. The intricate pattern is composed of overlapping circles that intersect to form flowers, which Ada Hefetz has combined with her design of a lily to symbolize the union between two individuals and the circle of life. The inspiring design uses Stratasys’ translucent “VeroVivid” resin material with Stratasys’ “J850 TechStyle” 3D printer, which can be printed in over 500,000 unique colors with varying levels of flexibility, simulating different textures and finishes.

Since its release in May 2022, 3D Fashion technology has been a triumph within the design and textile market. Its ability to produce unique designs at a fraction of the time and cost of handcrafting has enabled designers worldwide to branch out and become increasingly creative. Creating unique designs using other methods such as CNC or hand stitching onto the garment, would be prohibitively expensive and time-consuming.
