Project summary

The use of 3D concepts, such as 3D Digital Design, Virtual Prototyping, Additive Manufacturing, Virtual Showroom, Digital Avatars, 3D body scanning, Digital Materials and 3D Collaboration Platforms, in the fashion sector, and as a continuance, their influence on the design, development, production and promotion of fashion products is the current trend in fashion education in leading universities. The 3D digital concepts offer several benefits to the product development: less samples, faster prototypes, much higher quality earlier-on in the cycle, reduction of the environmental footprint and the ability to make decisions based on that. The current project, 3D4U, addresses the lack of skilled talent in 3D Concepts for fashion education in Ukraine by the establishment of 3 hubs in 3D concepts, in the 3 Ukraine HEIs. Project 3D4U will achieve the following results: 1. Three (3) 3D-hubs set up at and equipped with appropriate HW and SW for 3D Modeling and prototyping in 3 Ukraine HEIs. 2. 15 faculties from Ukraine HEIs will be trained in 3DConcepts by reputable researchers and experts from EU HEIs. 3. At least 6 courses in 3D Concepts at Ukraine HEIs will be developed and/or modernized. 4. 1 standardized training program will be developed for the continued learning of working professionals in the Fashion Industry. 5. 6 industry-driven pilot projects in 3D Concepts will be developed in Ukraine, one in each participating department of the HEIs. 6. 100 senior UG and PG students will be taught through the developed and modernized semester-long courses. 7. 50 working professionals in Fashion from other Ukraine HEIs related to fashion or management will be formally introduced in 3D concepts through the specialised seminars. Project 3D4U envisions to achieve the following impact: 1. Development of highly knowledgeable and skilled human resources in 3D Concepts in Ukraine. 2. Promotion of knowledge generation in 3D Concepts through basic and applied research. 3. Development of 3D Concepts based design of diverse fashion products, based on textile and leather. 4. Promotion of competencies, capacity building, and training to nurture innovation and start-ups and aspiring entrepreneurs in 3D concepts. 5. Internationalization and modernization of Ukraine HEIs by connecting them with global efforts in modern fashion education
