Pelege's first experience with 3D printers was on the fashon design school, she decided to prepare an entire collection of designs without knowing too much about this gizmos. Once she started her project she began to seek diferent kinds of textiles and different tecniques to compose this particular assortment of dresses. She spent loads of hours experimenting with specific gadets like laser cutters or kittning machines, but one summer she saw  3D printers in New York and thought that work with them should be very interesting. After working hard during months and find the optimal materials to print with them, she desined her first cloth, a red which had written the word "Librerté". After printing her first design everything was easier, but Peleg spent more than 1.500 hours to perfect her technique and finish her collection.
