VARIANT3D

We are proud to announce our LOOP™ software has earned its place as a Top 12 Finalist in Fast Company's 2024 World Changing Ideas Awards‘Best World-Changing Idea North America’ category, thanks to its pioneering approach in the textiles manufacturing industry. LOOP™ is the first web-based CAD/CAM application for producing 3D knitted fabrics and products, standing out for its unique capability to enable users to seamlessly work across multiple file dimensions, including 3D, 2D, and a granular knit level. The benefits are profound, with 3D digital renderings playing a pivotal role in enhancing efficiency and eliminating waste throughout the entire manufacturing chain. Its recognition in the World Changing Ideas Awards underscores its potential to drive meaningful change and establish new benchmarks for sustainable manufacturing practices worldwide.

Happy to announce that I will be speaking at the NEXUS Global Summit NYC tomorrow from 3:30-4:30 ET. This event gathers visionaries to discuss transformative ideas for the future. Our panel, "2050: The Future of Food, Fashion, and Mobility," will showcase VARIANT3D's LOOP software as a solution for global textile waste. Can't wait to share our development story and industry insights!

The potential for artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) in home textile applications was a major focus at the 2024 edition of Heimtextil. Several exhibitors demonstrated digital innovations which employ AI and AR, including fabric design applications, image generators and software programmes. The Millshop Online presented an AI fabric design application called FabricGenie which is said to represent the first AI technology of its kind to be employed in the home textiles industry. At the same time, VARIANT3D demonstrated a software application called Loop which is capable of transforming two-dimensional (2D) models into knit-to-shape programmes for making 3D knitted products. MANND demonstrated an image generator called Interactive Design Studio which is capable of producing interior design concepts based on data entered into a user interface (UI). Meanwhile, Augmented Weaving showcased an AR technology developed in collaboration with Penelope CAD Systems which can display high quality digital prototypes of “real life” textile samples. https://bit.ly/4bX84Kj #hometextiles #interiors #heimtextil #design #designtrends #AI #AR #software #fabric #textiles #knit #samples Heimtextil Messe Frankfurt GmbH

Check out these highlights of our Research and Development team at the Fashion Tech NYTW: Drinks and Demos event at Newlab. We showcased LOOP in action, shared case study samples, and handed out some LOOP merch! A big thank you to Project B for the invite. We're looking forward to the next event!

Join us tomorrow at Project B’s Fashion Tech NYTW: Drinks and Demos at Newlab in Brooklyn, NY! VARIANT3D's CTO and co-founder, Will Samosir, will demonstrate how our CAD/CAM tool, LOOP, enables rapid prototyping. We're excited to highlight how fashion tech solutions are driving sustainability and personalization in the industry.

We are truly honored to share our collaboration with David Horvitz! The 9 x 16 ft banner for 'Abandoning the Room' in Milan was crafted at our Malibu HQ, with yarn that endured the 2018 Woolsey Fire. David used charcoal sourced from the bark of oak trees that withstood the fire, integrating natural elements directly into the design. It reflects abstract patterns that echo the dynamic forms of clouds and smoke seen during the fire. This meaningful project demonstrates our commitment to combining creativity and technology through LOOP, bringing artistic ideas to life.

Excited to host Fashion Tech Drinks and Demos next week at Newlab! #TechWeek We will be demoing our custom bras and scanning tech, alongside other amazing fashion tech startups driving sustainability and personalization in the fashion industry: VARIANT3D , ThredX, Mode Wearables, and Nextiles. Delicious refreshments by Studio Bumi and Lunar will be served. RSVP here: https://lu.ma/s45pcqa1

VARIANT3D is happy to share that Knitting Industry, has spotlighted us as one of the top 12 finalists in Fast Company’s 2024 World Changing Ideas. These awards highlight fresh sustainability initiatives, cutting-edge AI developments, and other creative projects that are helping mold the world. Our LOOP software has earned its place as a finalist thanks to its pioneering approach in the textile manufacturing industry.

Concluding our pilot project series, we invite you to revisit the journey from its beginning to its completion. Learn about the design and modeling of cushions using LOOP’s 3D workspace, which showcased our software’s ability to develop knit-to-shape patterns. We filled six cushions with new foam and repurposed six more in line with our commitment to sustainability. This project was a testament to the synergy of textiles, technology, and architecture, and we look forward to advancing the possibilities of 3D-printed textiles and CAD/CAM systems.

Last month, we wrapped up our pilot project in collaboration with Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI) and The Woolmark Company. In this series, we begin by showcasing our collaborations with LACI, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, Südwolle Group, and The Woolmark Company. Swipe to see how each alliance played a role! Our project demonstrates our philosophy of fostering innovation through a blend of technology, creativity, and collaboration. Through our LOOP software, we refine workflows and enhance design and manufacturing processes, championing the adoption of 3D-printed textiles. Our commitment to facilitating seamless industry interactions aims to bring together businesses, suppliers, and manufacturers for transformative outcomes.
