According to designer Francis A Bitonti , the full potential of technologies such as 3D printing has barely begun to be discovered. Through three of his studio's projects, he demonstrates benefits such as the infinite variations in product form that are achievable via the use of algorithms, as well as the carbon‐reduction prospects of locally printed customised products. He sees a future where, rather than dictating fashions, brands will become platforms for co‐creation.
