On Good Morning America, the designer explained how he views the technology as the future of fashion. His high-tech creations were made in collaboration with GE Additive and Protolabs and took over 1,000 hours to make. The pieces were worn by celebrities like Jourdan Dunn, who we saw wearing a 3D printed rose gown composed of 21 petals. As well as Nina Dobrev, who walked the carpet in a crystal clear dress that looked like glass. Find out what the designer had to say about his creations below!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9NW1aaIvug8\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p><div class=\"dnati-inside-article-leaderboard\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"dnati-2066839397\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/app.swapcard.com\/login\/event\/additiv-defense-2026\/ticket\/VGlja2V0VHlwZV83MDM4MQ==\/page\/UmVnaXN0cmF0aW9uRm9ybV81NjE4Ng==\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"LB (4)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/LB-4.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"850\" height=\"150\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">TOP 2: Additive manufacturing could change the future of nuclear<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The U.S. Department of Energy and its national labs are supporting early-stage research on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/3d-technologies\/\">additive manufacturing<\/a> that can ultimately be adopted by industry to drastically reduce the time it takes to design, build and certify nuclear systems. It is a known benefit of the technology that production times and costs can be significantly cut by adopting it. In the following video, discover the plans of the U.S. Department of Energy to adopt metal 3D printing in its activities to manufacture higher-performance components.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Jh2fML_-DlY\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">TOP 3: Bioengineers have 3D printed complex vascular structures<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At Rice University, a group of bioengineers have made a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/vascular-networks-070520195\/\">groundbreaking advancement<\/a> in medical research by 3D printing complex vascular structures that could sustain 3D printed organs. The issue with 3D printed organs is keeping them alive, as they need oxygen and vital fluids to live. We are one step closer to 3D printing replacement organs and tissues becoming a viable solution for patients in need. The vascular networks resemble the body\u2019s natural passageways for blood, air, lymph and vital fluids. The research was featured on Science Magazine. The project was a collaboration between multiple universities in the US and the generative design studio Nervous System.
