MecklerMedia has confirmed the leading 3D print designers from around the world who have created original pieces to be unveiled during the 3D Print Fashion Show. These designers will showcase their innovative new work, inspired by 3D printing.

Materialise has secured Melinda Looi, veteran fashion designer and a purveyor of fine art and vintage chic. She first teamed up with the leading 3D printing company in 2013 to design "Asia's First 3D Printed Fashion Collection."
