Specialist Diogo Vicente demonstrated to students how Artificial Intelligence can generate new possibilities in creating accessories and textiles.
On April 20, between 2:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., a workshop led by Diogo Vicente took place in Room 2.4 at ISMAT, focusing on the topic “AI for 3D-Printed Products.”
The session was aimed at students in the Bachelor’s Program in Fashion and Textile Design and Production, providing hands-on experience in using Artificial Intelligence tools applied to the creation of three-dimensional models for fashion accessories and clothing components.
During the workshop, participants had the opportunity to explore the design of 3D models based on specific prompts, as well as techniques for applying patterns to three-dimensional surfaces, printing on textiles, and developing seams directly within 3D modeling software.
This approach allowed students to gain a practical understanding of the technology’s potential in the creative and production processes of fashion. In addition to the technical content, Diogo Vicente reviewed some of the projects already in development as part of the Fashion Portfolio course, encouraging students to integrate digital tools and digitization processes into their creative proposals.
One of the highlights was the presentation of samples produced by the expert himself, created using 3D printing with PLA. These examples sparked the participants’ curiosity, highlighting new possibilities and paths for the future of fashion combined with technology.
Throughout the session, the students’ enthusiasm was evident, reflected in their active participation and experimentation with the models created in real time.
The workshop concluded with a clear message from the speaker, who emphasized the role of human creativity in the use of new technologies: “AI does not replace the designer; it generates possibilities.
It is the designer who will interpret, choose, and give meaning.” The initiative reinforces ISMAT’s commitment to integrating innovative tools into teaching, preparing students for the emerging challenges of the fashion industry.
