The Stratasys J850 TechStyle has been developed to meet the unique needs of design and fashion manufacturers which include 3D printing for high-end, premium textiles and clothing, bags and accessories and footwear.

Stratasys is providing designers and fashion brands with the ability to differentiate their manufacturing practices through the unique versatility and productivity of the Stratasys 3DFashion solution which includes printer, workflow software and materials that support the individual needs of fashion manufacturers. This solution opens unlimited possibilities to personalize and customize 3D-printed fabric pieces, including limited editions and digital automation.

To further extend the reach of the J850 TechStyle, Stratasys has joined forces with a series of partners, including Dyloan and the D-house in Milan.
