Possibilities to perform 3D printing directly on textile fabrics have been investigated intensively during the last decade. Usually, fused deposition modeling (FDM) printing with often inexpensive 3D printers is applied in these experiments. Several studies revealed the influence of textile fabrics, FDM polymers and printing parameters, indicating that not all combinations of fabrics and printing materials are suitable for this task. Recently, first approaches to use stereolithography (SLA) or PolyJet Modeling (PJM) directly on textile fabrics have been reported. Here, the first comparison of the adhesion forces reached by FDM and SLA printing on different woven fabrics is shown, revealing significantly better adhesion for SLA printing.
