Cover Story: There are 1 billion visually impaired and blind individuals (VIBIs). The integration of 3D-printed (3DP) Braille directly onto clothing presents a ground-breaking opportunity for VIBIs, offering them a new level of independence. This innovation allows them to learn about their clothing before making a purchase, easily identify garments in their wardrobe, and understand care instructions through touch. This study explores the impact of 3DP photosensitive resin on textile substrates, focusing on essential textile properties such as strength and washability. Fabrics enhanced with 3D printing on their surface are pioneering new standards for inclusivity and functionality in the textile industry. View this paper
