Threading the Future: 3D Printing Meets Sustainable Fashion

Jul 15, 2025 | 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM

Seminar Room

As the fashion and textile industries face increasing pressure to embrace sustainability, New York Embroidery Studio (NYES) is redefining what's possible by merging traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. Led by Yoav Hadari, Head of 3D Embroidery, NYES has integrated the Stratasys J850 TechStyle—the first 3D printer engineered for direct-to-textile printing—into its creative workflow. In this seminar, Hadari shares how NYES uses 3D printing to design intricate, customizable surfaces that redefines embroidery and textile art. By blending couture techniques with digitally sculpted forms, NYES is not only advancing visual storytelling in fashion, but also dramatically reducing material waste, water usage, and energy consumption. From experimental couture to immersive brand activations and scalable production, NYES proves that sustainability and innovation are not only compatible—they're essential for the future of design. Join us to explore how a designer’s vision, paired with next-generation tools, can bring a new dimension—both literally and ethically—to the fashion world. 45-minute talk with Yoav Hadari - Design Director / New York Embroidery Studio
