About the 3D-ECO Fashion Project
Our mission is the environmental and technological empowerment of the local young designers in Berlin, with a dedicated effort to support women in tech and and also the integration of young designers with migration background.
3D-ECO Fashion offers a creative dive into the world of 3D printing, guiding you through the process of designing and creating your own 3D printed pieces of fashion.
Moreover, our course introduces you to the concept of circular economy using the 3d printing technology, teaching you how to design clothing modular and developing with you together concepts of a more sustainable fashion life cycle.
By the end of the course, participants will show their gained skills by creating 3D printed fashion and present it at our upcoming fashion show in Berlin.
This project is funded by the European Union through Erasmus+.

Application
The official registration period begins on January 20, 2025. However, you can express your interest now by filling out the form. You will then receive early notifications and probably have a higher chance of being accepted for the course.
What if I don't fit into the application criteria but would still like to take part?
We recommend that you fill out the form even if you do not meet all the criteria. If there is high demand, we may offer additional places with fewer restrictions.In any case, our association offers several more workshops in 2025 in the field of 3D printing and sustainable fashion other exciting topics. We will send you information in advance. For example you can check out our regular 3D Printing and Fashion Upgrading Workshop in Berlin.
FAQ
I don't have a 3D printer at home. Can I still apply? Does it still make sense then?
Of course. The course is designed so that participants only need a laptop. We have enough 3D printers on our rooms, which participants can use free of charge during the workshop.
Yes, you can register as a parent and complete the course together with your child.
It depends. We will try to create enough offers so that some units can be completed later or as homework. It is important that we see that the participant has made an effort to catch up on the knowledge and, for example, does the homework.
In which language will the workshops be held?
The course will mainly be held in German. If there are enough English-speaking applicants who do not speak German, we would most likely offer the second workshop in English at a later date.
I have never done 3D modeling and I have never sewn. Is that a problem?
That is no problem. Whis course is designed for beginners.
Where exactly will the offline sessions take place?
In Prenzlauer Berg. More detailed information you will receive after successful application.
I am older than 29, can I still take part in the workshop?
If you are over 29 you cannot participate directly. However it is still worth applying, as we often organize similar workshops on 3D printing and can offer you alternatives. Just write to us and we'll take it from there.
I m younger than 18 years, can I still participate?
In principle yes, if you are under 18, we need a declaration of consent from your parents and you need to prove that you have experience in fashion design.
Do I have to buy hardware and software for the workshop?
You just need to bring your laptop. We use software for the workshop that you can install and use free of charge.
What does participation in the workshop cost?
The course costs €50. The participation fee is symbolic.
Can I register together with a friend?
Of course. For practical reasons, each of you should fill out the application form individually.
I work as a teacher in a school, an association or an institution. Could the workshops take place on my location?
Yes, this is possible in principle. We would be happy to talk about it.
