Right? I don't see how this relates to "3d technology" of any kind.

  It's mentioned in the article. 3d printing is one form of application, as well as spraying and painting.

  I used 3d technology last weekend when I used a shovel to dig a ditch.

    A 3D technology just flew over my house!
  - bowmessage 4y ago
    How long did it take? Might have been 4D!
  - intrasight 4y ago
    I used 3D technology to make my lunch today ;)

  You'd have to get all the way to the fourth sentence: The spray-on fabric is applied using the likes of aerosol tech, industrial sprayers, and 3D printing
  - wccrawford 4y ago
    In that there's a nozzle that material comes out of? Nope. That's just a sprayer, still nothing to do with "3d technology".

      It's applied using 3d printers

  It does, but then else everything does too

Yeah, it's a stretch. Applying stuff to your body that then cures or hardens is not new but I guess in the past it's always been for molds (sculpture, prosthetics) but in this case the 3 dimensional thing is the direct result, not an intermediate step. I would like to see something a bit more than skin-tight clothing to call it a real 3D production process. I do think it's cool, though. My body is too crap to pull somehting like this off, sadly.

This news item was extremely viral, it was all over Instagram. It makes sense for Wired to write about this just for clicks, (as evidence being linked here). No need to be a submarine - those are for un-viral subjects.

  No doubt because of the pornography more than the technology.
  - darksaints 4y ago
    There wasn't any pornography here.
    - sacrosancty 4y ago
      Huh? The model had her tits out.
      - darksaints 4y ago
        And at some point in your life, you probably sucked on some bare tits cause you were hungry and couldn't yet eat solid food. Was that situation pornographic too? Or could you possibly recognize that not every situation where boobs can be seen is sexual?

3D has specific meaning in fashion/apparel (such as "3D patterning"). It refers to construction techniques that create shapes other than a bunch of naively connected tubes. For example, articulated knees/elbows or darts. https://www.arcteryx.com/ch/en/explore/obsessive-design/articulated-fit/ https://www.arcteryx.com/ch/en/explore/obsessive-design/arti... The high score your snarky comment has is amusing as I remember a top post fro earlier in the year with vocabulary words that HN readers were below-average in comprehension (compared to e.g. the average woman), and many of them were fashion terms like "peplum."
