Sculpteo and ROMI Create Fashion Pieces for Jean Paul Gaultier
3D printing service Sculpteo collaborated with fashion designer ROMI to produce several elements for the latest Jean Paul Gaultier haute couture collection, utilizing HP's Multi Jet Fusion technology.
Fashion designer ROMI has collaborated with 3D printing service Sculpteo to create multiple components for the Autumn/Winter 2026-27 Jean Paul Gaultier collection. Sculpteo was involved in the production of five distinct looks, contributing in various capacities.
For four of these key looks, Sculpteo manufactured the structural 3D-printed elements that define the garments' sculptural volumes and innovative lines. In one instance, for a white dress adorned with scale-like elements, Sculpteo printed each individual scale. These printed scales were then meticulously hand-sewn onto the garment by the Jean Paul Gaultier fashion house's studio.
The components produced by Sculpteo were made using HP's Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology. The materials utilized included PA12, chosen for its lightweight properties and durability, and TPU, selected for its flexibility and enhanced comfort.
Sculpteo provided comprehensive support to ROMI throughout the project. This assistance encompassed material selection, design consultation for cutouts and assemblies necessary for large-scale pieces, and the ultimate manufacturing of the final parts. Alexandre d'Orsetti, CEO of Sculpteo, highlighted how such fashion projects, with their unique demands for shape, weight, and deadlines, drive industrial expertise and foster innovation.
This collaboration showcases the growing integration of additive manufacturing in high fashion, moving beyond prototyping to direct production of aesthetic and structural components. The use of MJF with materials like PA12 and TPU demonstrates the technology's versatility for creating complex geometries and functional fashion elements, pushing the boundaries of traditional garment design.
