The重塑3D printing competitionorganized by design collectiveNoumena,IN(3D)USTRY， 和Fira de Barcelona, Barcelona’s trade fair institution, is back for 2018.
Last year, with the theme of ‘Programmable Skins,’重塑17saw designers use 3D printing and robotics to create interactive garments and accessories, such as the sound isolating earphones from Italy’sCRDESIGNstudio.
This year, in the fourth edition of the competition, designers are challenged with the theme ‘Sensing Materialities’which focuses on customized garments and products promoting healthy lifestyles. With the last call for submissions falling on August 31st 2018, 3D Printing Industry looks at the criteria for this year’s competition as well as the stand-out entries from RESHAPE17.
‘Our body is sophisticated mechanism’
RESHAPE18：感应物质强调了人类和破坏性技术的演变和适应性。RESHAPE指出：“在这个数字时代，我们的身体正在暴露于不自然的危害，例如环境污染，辐射和广泛的疾病。我们需要学习如何浏览这个快速变化的环境。”
Thus, designers are tasked with finding innovative solutions that celebrate new technologies such as additive manufacturing and synthetic biology while acknowledging its detriment to the human body. This edition is split into two categories: Wearable technology and Product design.
The wearable technology category challenges designers to propose new garment solutions which address environmental and human health, i.e., respiration, contamination, body postures, disabilities, and stress. The competition invites proposals including innovative materials, wearable electronics, and prosthetics solutions.
此外，产品设计类别鼓励设计师创建一个促进福祉的产品解决方案。从体育用品到医疗设备，进入的人必须提出一个实验性的“能够谈判塑造我们环境的力量的产品”。这包括与物理和数字世界的监视，感测和互动。此外，设计师必须考虑其产品的社会影响以及其碳足迹。
3D printed wearable garments from RESHAPE17
Last year,Sensoree, a Californian biotechnology company, entered its AWElectric inflatable 3D printed garment equipped with biosensors that translates breathing to a pulsing orange glow.这款服装还包括一个绣花扬声器，该扬声器发出频率以使皮肤佩戴的皮肤发痒。这种创新的生物设计设计成为Reshape17的决赛入围者，打算增强人与机器之间的接近和心灵感应。
In addition, Houston-based designer Maria Alejandra Mora-Sanchez entered the 3D printed “Loom” dress inspired by patterns used from the Wayuu tribe, an Indigenous community of the Guajira Peninsula in northern Colombia and northwest Venezuela. With FDM and two spools of 500mg Push Plastic Flexible TPU, the dress cost approximately $60 to make.
Reshape18陪审团
跨越两个类别，reshape18陪审团is composed of 11 design experts from fashion, architecture, computer research and 3D printing. Rejoining the panel is Anastasia Pistofidou, Founder offabtextiles, an open-source fashion production platform and Simone Cesano, Senior Director Design Operations atAdidas.
Laia Mogas-Soldevila, Architect, Designer, and Interdisciplinary Researcher in Living and Future Materials at塔夫茨大学, Valerie Bergeron, Director ofMaterfad, a material center in Barcelona and Davide Neri, Director of Italy’sWasproject也包括在陪审团中。
来自Reshape18的获奖设计师将获得最高2000欧元的财务奖励，这是10月16日至18日的Reshape论坛的邀请，在Reshape展览会上的项目展示以及与Reshape Partners提出想法的独家会议。
