Technology has impacted almost every aspect of life, including the fashion industry. Different technologies, software, applications, and strategies have changed things for fashion brands worldwide. Even though large-scale and internationally-recognized fashion companies have been using technology for digital marketing for a long-time, technology has impacted the fashion world in more ways than one.
Technology is now part of regular clothes designing and manufacturing for many brands and fashion entrepreneurs. This blog discusses some technological trends in the fashion industry that have resulted in major changes.

3D PRINTING
3D printing has been around for a long time, but fashion brands have just started realizing the benefits of using this technology in garment manufacturing. Many fashion companies use 3D printing to print intricate designs and details on clothes. This allows brands to minimize errors in the production process.
Additionally, since the process reduces human errors, fewer faulty clothes will be produced, which saves resources like fabric. 3D printing also makes cloth manufacturing more efficient and quicker for brands, saving a lot of time, effort, and money.
SUSTAINABLE ECO-MATERIALS
Do you know that the fashion industry is responsible for producing around 10% of the world’s greenhouse gasses, showing clothing manufacturers’ negative impact on carbon emissions? But that’s not the only negative effect of the fashion industry on the environment. Additionally, the fashion industry is also the second-largest consumer of freshwater worldwide, which are alarming numbers.
So multiple enterprises and organizations have started to invest in damage-control methodologies using technology. They use synthetic eco-friendly materials to manufacture clothes instead of using wool, leather, or cotton. Additionally, these brands have designed multiple systems that don’t use water or don’t produce waste material while manufacturing clothes.
LASER-CUTTING TECHNOLOGY
In the past, most clothing manufacturers used human labor to cut their clothes in the right shapes and sizes. This was replaced by machines, and now laser-cutting technology has taken the place of these machines in the fashion industry.
