The application of 3D technology increases every day by discovering new ways of usage, which can make everyday life easier. It is most used in production of individualized items that become more accessible and fully customized to personal needs. 3D technologies such as 3D scanning, 3D modelling and additive technologies (3D printing) are used in various areas of human activity such as medicine, architecture, the movie industry, etc. In the clothing’s industry, 3D scanning the human body is digitized, which is after that used in computer software packages for custom-made clothing. Except for the fashion industry, there is a need for individualized protective work clothing and equipment production in other industries as well. The possibility of applying new technologies such as 3D scanning and 3D modelling of protective elements that can be made by using 3D printers is presented in this paper. In order to design a field hockey chest protector, male and female subjects were scanned using a 3D body scanner in several different positions specific to the sport. The chest protector was constructed and modeled based on the digitalized images. Software packages were used which enable point clouds preparation of the digitalized human body for constructing the protector, its modelling and preparation of virtually designed protectors for 3D printing. An individualized chest protector is modeled using a software program called Bender. The protector is integrated into the clothing item, completely follows the body shape and provides the necessary protection.

Product designers create the beautiful products we use every day from iPhones to eyewear. Every product aspires to mesh seamlessly with the human body. The wearable technology market is increasing the demand for more advanced, better fitting designs. As our technology moves closer to the body, the demand for better-fitted body products increases, and the challenge for designers grows. The scan and print method uses 3D scan technology, CAD design software, and 3D printing to create the next generation of better fitting wearable products with shorter lead-times and improved fit.

The extraordinary thing about the application of 3D printing technology is that it can be used to create accessible items customized to personal needs. In the fashion industry, there is a need for individualized protective equipment. The possibility of applying new technologies such as 3D modelling of protective elements that can be made by using 3D printers is presented in this paper. 3D modelling and additive technologies (3D printing) can be used in the development of protective work clothing. The fabrication process only requires the digital fi le with the 3D model and the right material - we chose to use thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU).The design samples were constructed and modelled using a software program called Rhinoceros. The samples can be integrated into the clothing item, in order to follow the body shape and to provide the necessary protection. Purpose. This paper aims to explore the applicability of 3D printing materials using thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) for the development of protective gear. Scientifi c novelty. In the fashion industry, three-dimensional (3D) printing has been used by designers and engineers to create everything from accessories to clothing, but only a few studies have investigated its applicability in personal protective equipment. Practical value. One of the most signifi cant technologies of the fourth industrial revolution is 3D printing. Additive manufacturing and 3D printing are the subject of intensive research and development (methods, materials, new techniques, application areas, etc.). The purpose of this study is to develop 3D printing samples and study conditions related to TPU.

The Armani high-fashion example illustrates the importance of adaptive rational methods in his founding and developing of an iconic high-fashion firm. Armani adapted stylistically to fashion’s new times in the 1970–80s by creating a new style catering for the career woman. His stylistic adaptation is compared with that of another famous Italian fashion designer, Versace, who instead modernized haute couture fashion and created a succession of glamourous styles. Both leaders exploited the same opportunity but in different ways. The third section compares these leaders’ legacies in the 1990s–2000s and assesses from a long-term perspective how capably they had used adaptive rational methods. The final section shifts the focus from fashion to the cosmetics industry and from Italy to the UK. Anita Roddick used adaptive rational methods to establish The Body Shop corporation in the 1970s–80s. However, she then abandoned rational methods with dire results for her corporation in the 1990s.

ABSTRACT The sterilization chamber is designed to sterilize the body using a filler formulation that is not harmful to the skin surface. Formulation, namely the composition of filler fluids (type, dose and amount) using substances that are safe for the body accordingly, certainly provides benefits. The use of the sterilization booth uses the correct and safe filling fluid. The sterilization chamber uses a mist nozzle sprayer (with the appropriate discharge) to spray the filling liquid so that the user is safe. This sterilization booth is named "White Box". This "White Box" research aims to design (functional and structural) and test (function test and performance test) on a system and mechanism for condensing the condensation of a humidifier that can fill the sterilization room optimally. The design method of the "White Box" sterilization booth uses a qualitative method with the following phases: (1) The preparation stage, namely the functional design and the structural design of the "White Box"; (2) The implementation stage is analyzing the use of tools and materials and making sterilization booths; (3) Post-implementation stage, namely testing the sterilization chamber, including the function test and performance test of the sterilization chamber. The design activity of the "White Box" sterilization booth was carried out by testing various variations of the prototype, including variations in the dimensions of the distribution pipe, the shape of the distribution pipe, and variations of the piping system. The validation process includes: (1) The diameter of the pipe against humidifier dew bursts; (2) The shape of the piping against humidifier dew spray; and (3) the length of the pipe passage to the humidifier dew spray.

This article presents a hydraulic design procedure for axial-flow pump impellers, followed by their manufacturing documentations, all in one easy-to-use software named AXPHD V2.0 (AXial Pump Hydraulic Design) developed by one of the authors (Kalmár). After the user determined pump duty, the software offers input data which may be changed interactively. The hydrodynamic singularity method is used to compute the blade profiles on cylindrical surfaces. If the velocity and pressure distributions are accepted, then the body model of the impeller is produced by AUTODESK INVENTOR PROFESSIONAL 2019. Full manufacturing documentation is prepared including shop-drawings for traditional production, numeric modules for CAM, and files for 3D printing. A photo of an impeller made by 3D printing closes the paper.
