# Zuckerberg Now 3D Printing Clothes for His Children

## Make it Work, Designers

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is [pivoting](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/mark-zuckerberg-abandons-metaverse>) once again. But this time, his next venture is a lot more unexpected.

Zuckerberg [took to Instagram](<https://www.instagram.com/p/Cro17BorTCz/?hl=en>) this week to reveal some dresses that he created for his daughters. According to the post, all he needed was a dream, some needle and thread, and — of course — a 3D printer.

"I love building things and recently started designing and 3D printing dresses with the girls," the billionaire wrote in the post's caption. "A few projects from the last month... (and yes, I had to learn to sew)."

And honestly? If we were to do a quick fashion review, these dresses rock. They're bright, they're fun, and they've got a very cool chainmail vibe — Joan of Arc meets Roblox meets Lisa Frank.

## Hobby Guy

This isn't Zuckerberg's first foray into 3D-printed garments. Last summer, [he posted a different picture](<https://www.instagram.com/p/ChiIuEXPIa4/?hl=en>) of one of his daughters wearing a pink 3D-printed helmet.

Plus, the [meat-smoking](<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBxTEoseZak>), [boar-slaying](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/mark-zuckerberg-hunts-hunts-wild-boar-bow-arrow>) Silicon Valley CEO is an extensively documented hobby guy. The dude just [loves himself a project](<https://www.businessinsider.com/mark-zuckerberg-side-project-facebook-2019-9>), whether he's building robots or nightlight alarm clocks for his wife.

Did we mention he's also very into [mixed martial arts](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/mark-zuckerberg-mma-sparring>) and [sword fighting](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/mark-zuckerberg-augmented-reality-swordfighting>)?

But as far as billionaire side projects go, Zuckerberg's obsessions are all pretty harmless. Other billionaires launch themselves into space inside [dick-shaped rockets](<https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/adeonibada/amazon-jeff-bezos-space-blue-origin-dick-rocket>), or doomscroll on Twitter using [multiple](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/elon-musk-burner-twitter-account>) [burner accounts](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/elon-musk-another-alt-account>).

With Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' atrocious [Coachella outfit still](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/jeff-bezos-coachella-outfit>) seared into our minds, we're declaring Zuck as the unofficial winner of this season of Project Runway: Silicon Valley.

Maybe all of Meta's [chaotic company pivots](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/mark-zuckerberg-ai>) will ultimately make sense, and Zuckerberg will soon be 3D printing AI-generated fashion designs and selling them inside the company's [dystopian](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/horizon-metaverse-head-leaves-company>)[ Horizon Worlds](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/horizon-metaverse-head-leaves-company>).

Wouldn't that be something?

## Author
At Futurism, I've reported extensively on the rise of AI as a cultural and business force shaping the media industry, and more broadly how those dynamics are changing how we all consume and share information and relate to one another. I'm also fascinated by public health policy and ethics, the role of emerging tech in politics and governance — and the powerful people and forces at those intersections — climate change, and the environment. My investigation on Sports Illustrated's use of AI-generated authors with fictional biographies won a 2024 Mirror Award for "Best Story on Media Coverage of Artificial Intelligence in Journalism and the Media" from Syracuse University's SI Newhouse School, I contributed to Niemen Lab's 2025 Predictions for Journalism series, and I've discussed my work for Futurism during appearances on NPR, CNN, the BBC, the CBC, and more. I grew up in rural Pennsylvania and attended the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where I played Division I field hockey for the Minutewomen as a midfielder. Since then, I've lived in New Orleans, Louisiana and Manhattan, New York. I spend my free time running, reading, perusing archival fashion, and searching for the world’s best negroni. I also have a debonair tuxedo cat, Westley, who's named after "The Princess Bride."
