The traditional form of packaging any 3 dimensional object/accessory/shape is to form a cardboard box around that package. This adds on to the volume, weight and energy consumption across the development of the product all the way till its reciept by the consumer. Recent developments in 3d printing over stretched textiles that store this energy also face the same problems in terms of packaging. My final project wishes to develop a traditional sikh warrior attire that can be 4d printed BUT PACKAGED FLAT till its recieved by the consumer.
The wearer of these attires is to soak the flat surface in Warm water and watch the magic as the flat 2d shape forms into the client's 3d wearable. The product might not have a big market, but my focus is on developing the cycle a product such as this takes from manufacturing to the end consumer so as to decrease the energy consumptions that additional cardboard boxes add on to a products overall energy footprint. I assume this as more of a Futuristic design piece for the more traditional cultures around the world as a dress of Honor that I would like to dedicate towards all warriors of all nations who sacrificed themselves for making sure the world we live in is a better place. Specifically dedicated to Humanitarion Relief groups and UN peace task force. As of now, am concentrating specifically on the shoulder area which i would like to develop as it has a significant value as a place to put up one's epullette for warriors.

I will post more information on this page as the researcj progresses. For now, the design is to offer:

1. Shape Shifting textile design
2. 4D Printing
3. Bio Dye
4. Soft robotics
