HAX-alumnus Electroloom is builidng a "3D printer for fabric," spraying a solution containing a polyester/cotton blend on a template to create clothing without seams. Electroloom co-founder Marcus Foley says the process was originally inspired by techniques used in labs to generate organic tissue. At first, the team simply wanted to see if the process would actually work for something other than cells; once they proved it would, their focus shifted to making it faster and easier to make specific garments.
