Women have historically been a minority in STEAM-related industries (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics). However, with the rise of gender equality and feminism in recent years, more and more women are making significant contributions and having a greater impact on STEAM fields. Yet, their achievements are still not fully recognized by the world.
In tribute to women in STEAM, Sylvia Heisel, founder of the American 3D fashion brand "Heisel," and her design team created a 3D printed artwork called "Names Dress."
Sylvia personally wrote down the names of more than 300 women in the industry and collaborated with Sophia Georgiou, the founder of the 3D modeling program "Morphi," and Liz Arum, the promoter of " Ultimaker ," to connect each name with compostable materials using the Ultimaker 3D printer . This unique fabric is something that the traditional textile industry could not achieve before!
Influenced by 3D printing technology, the "Heisel" brand continuously develops new fabrics, breaking through previous imaginations of garment making while pursuing durable, environmentally friendly, and sustainable materials and strictly implementing zero-waste production.
The names of the 3D-printed dresses include those of women who made great contributions to society, such as Sarah Goehrke, Marie Curie, and Florence Nightingale, who actively promoted STEAM education for women. It is worth mentioning that the dresses also include Nora Touré, the "founder of 3D printing ".
The "Names Dress" collection will also be exhibited at the Salvatore Ferragamo Museum in Florence on International Women's Day (March 8, 2020), with the hope that women will continue to dedicate themselves to their respective fields and create more possibilities in the future!
