The Chinese Traditional Costume Program (3S-CTCP), hosted by Donghua University (DHU), is a sub-program of the Shanghai Summer School. It aims to help its participants gain a profound understanding of Chinese traditional costumes and their modern development.

The 3S-CTCP project in 2021 will take "wearable 3D printing and traditional Chinese clothing" as its theme, guiding students to understand and create traditional Chinese clothing from the perspective of wearable 3D printing. With the advancement of science and technology as well as a wave of intelligentization, 3D printing has grown from a hot topic of social speculation to a mature and reliable industrial technology. The global 3D printing market is expected to exceed US $22 billion in 2022. At the same time, 3D printed wearable design has become an innovation hotspot combining fashion and technology, which promises a variety of applications in the clothing industry.

In this project, students will combine the most cutting-edge fashion trends, with Chinese traditional culture as their theme, and use the latest flexible 3D printing technology to carry out the innovative development of fashion products.
