In Project Runway season 14 episode 11, titled "The Runway's in 3D!", the designers are tasked with creating avant-garde looks using innovative techniques. The episode begins with the designers visiting a 3D printing lab, where they are introduced to the latest technology in fashion design. They learn how to use 3D printers to create unique and intricate designs, and are challenged to incorporate this technology into their runway looks.

With only two days to complete their designs, the designers must work quickly and efficiently to brainstorm ideas, sketch out their designs, and create 3D prints for their garments. The pressure is on as they struggle to balance the use of technology with traditional techniques, all while pushing the boundaries of fashion.

During the design process, tensions rise as the designers face technical difficulties and creative differences. Some struggle to adapt to the new technology, while others excel and create stunning pieces.

Some designs are praised for their innovative use of materials and techniques, while others are criticized for being too safe or lacking in creativity. The judges must decide which designer will win the challenge and move on to the next round of competition, and which designer will be eliminated.

In the end, the designer who showed the most innovation and creativity with their use of 3D printing technology is crowned the winner of the challenge. However, one designer must say goodbye as they are sent home for not meeting the high standards of the judges.

Overall, "The Runway's in 3D!" is an exciting and innovative episode that showcases the intersection of fashion and technology. The designers face unique challenges as they push the boundaries of fashion design, ultimately resulting in some stunning and avant-garde runway looks.
