Technology is one of the most important elements of our age that appeals to many fields and needs, and it has a very important place in human life. Technological developments in recent years operate in many interdisciplinary fields. One of these areas is fashion; It has become an industrial area by developing technological designs suitable for the needs of the age with rapid changes. Brands that shape fashion; It offers many opportunities to both the producer and the consumer by using interdisciplinary technological methods that bring together fields such as art, engineering, science and robotics. In this context, technology, which has been used in clothing, has led to radical changes and orientations in the world of fashion and has made a great contribution to the transformation of fashion.

3D printers, which are one of the technological transformation elements of fashion, are a technological tool that has a wide range in the field of design, is developing very fast and many designs can be produced. In the study, the types of 3D printers used in the field of fashion were investigated and a general information was given about the design and production processes. In addition, fashion design examples produced with 3D printers and related studies were examined and the design products and processes produced with technology were tried to be explained. Evaluations were made about the usefulness of these products. In the light of the findings, it is thought that original fashion design products produced by using 3D technology can shape the future fashion and take an important place in the fashion world. In addition, this study has the quality to contribute to science and art in interdisciplinary fields and to be a source for subsequent studies.
