Özet

New technologies that are used in the producing and processing of textile surfaces provide significant advantages for the designer. One of the important technologies that offer today’s design advantage is three-dimensional “3D” printers. This study attempted to determine the effect of design features used on textile surfaces produced with different 3D printers and materials on performance characteristics. This researchaimed to examine and compare the performance characteristics of 3D printers, the relationships between 3D printers and the different materials required by these printers, and one-piece and multi-pieces designs. Accordingly, textile surfaces were produced with 3D printers and the performance properties of these surfaces were determined. Significant differences were observed in the performance of textiles based on the breaking, bursting and weight determination tests. These differences were discussed in terms of the design’s structural characteristics, material and the ways of 3D printing to stacking material. Consequently, although the performances of 3D textiles get the better of one another, their breaking and bursting strengths are found to be lower than the conventional fabrics.
