　　Recording Two

　　录音二

　　In the past few months, I've been traveling for weeks at a time with only one suitcase of clothes.

　　在过去的几个月里，我旅行了几个星期，只带了一行李箱的衣服。

　　One day, I was invited to an important event, and I wanted to wear something special for it.

　　有一天，我被邀请参加一个重要的活动，我想穿一些特别的东西。

　　I looked through my suitcase but couldn't find anything to wear.

　　我翻遍了我的旅行箱，但找不到任何能穿的。

　　I was lucky to be at the technology conference then, and I had access to 3D printers.

　　我很幸运能够参与技术会议，而且我可以使用3D打印机。

　　So I quickly designed a skirt on my computer, and I loaded the file on the printer.

　　所以我很快在我的电脑上设计了一条裙子，把文件载入打印机。

　　It just printed the pieces overnight.

　　它一整夜都在打印部件。

　　The next morning, I just took all the pieces, assembled them together in my hotel room, and this is actually the skirt that I'm wearing right now.

　　第二天早上，我把所有部件都拿出来，在我的酒店房间里把它们组合起来，实际上就成了我现在所穿的裙子。

　　So it wasn't the first time that I printed clothes.

　　所以这不是我第一次打印衣服。

　　For my senior collection at fashion design school, I decided to try and 3D print an entire fashion collection from my home.

　　关于我在时装设计学院的高级时装，我决定在家里尝试3D打印整个时尚系列。

　　The problem was that I barely knew anything about 3D printing, and I had only nine months to figure out how to print five fashionable looks.

　　问题是我几乎不了解3D打印，而我只有九个月的时间来弄清楚如何打印五种时尚的外观。

　　I always felt most creative when I worked from home.

　　我一直觉得我在家工作时最有创意。

　　I loved experimenting with new materials, and I always tried to develop new techniques to make the most unique textiles for my fashion projects.

　　我喜欢尝试新材料，我一直在努力开发新的技术，为我的时尚项目做出最独特的纺织品。

　　One summer break, I came here to New York for an internship at a fashion house in Chinatown.

　　有一次暑假，我来到了纽约，在唐人街的一家时装店实习。

　　We worked on two incredible dresses that were 3D printed.

　　我们制作了两件不可思议的3D打印服装。

　　They were amazing—like you can see here.

　　它们非常棒——你可以从这里看到。

　　But I had a few problems with them.

　　但是关于它们还有一些问题。

　　They were made from hard plastics and that's why they were very breakable.

　　它们是由硬塑料制成的，这就是为什么它们非常易碎。

　　The models couldn't sit in them, and they even got scratched from the plastics under their arms.

　　模特不能坐在它们上面，甚至被手臂下的塑料刮伤。

　　So now, the main challenge was to find the right material for printing clothes with, I mean the material you feed the printer with.

　　因此现在，主要的挑战是找到正确的打印衣服的材料，我是指你给打印机提供的材料。

　　The breakthrough came when I was introduced to Filaflex, which is a new kind of printing material.

　　当我被介绍给Filaflex时——这是一种新型的印刷材料，这个突破来了。

　　It's strong, yet very flexible.

　　它非常结实，也很有弹性。

　　And with it, I was able to print the first garment, a red jacket that had the word “freedom” embedded into it.

　　利用它，我能够打印出第一件衣服，一件写有“自由”字样的红色外套。

　　And actually, you can easily download this jacket, and change the word to something else, for example, your name or your sweetheart's name.

　　实际上，你可以轻松地下载这件夹克，并将这个词改成别的东西，例如你的名字或你亲爱的的名字。

　　So I think in the future, materials will evolve, and they will look and feel like fabrics we know today, like cotton or silk.

　　所以我认为，未来的材料将会发展，就像我们今天所知道的面料，棉花或丝绸一般。
