This work, a systematic review of the scientific literature published between 2019 and 2024, its investigates the impact of 3D printing technology on the textile industry. The analysis encompassed the contributions of additive manufacturing across several dimensions, including product design, functionality, sustainability, and personalization. The study explored the principles of 3D printing and its main methods—Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Direct Ink Writing (DIW), Stereolithography (SLA), and Digital Light Processing (DLP)—as well as the materials most commonly employed in textile production. The analysis detailed the advancements enabled by the technology, such as innovation in design, enhanced fabric functionality, optimization of production efficiency, waste reduction, and transformation of sectors like fashion and technical textiles production. The study also evaluated the potential of 3D printing for more sustainable production, considering the circular economy, the mitigation of environmental impacts, and the support of local production. Furthermore, the research identified the challenges and limitations of the technology. It concludes that 3D printing presents transformative potential for the textile sector, despite existing barriers. It is therefore recommended that investments be made in research and development of materials and processes, as well as in professional training, to accelerate the adoption and advancement of the technology in the industry.
