Biodegradable and Sustainable Fabrics: As the global environmental issues grow, there produce a clear market for such kind of textiles that are both biodegradable and sustainable. The kinds of fabrics include those that are made from renewable and environment friendly materials such as bamboo, hemp, and organic cotton. Besides, textile recycling and upcycling innovations, which enable the production of fabrics by means of post-consumer waste and waste clothes, are among recent achievements. 3D Knitting and Weaving: three-dimensional knitting and weaving technologies provide opportunities to design structures with complexity and adaptability while producing only small wastes. Through this, the production of seamless garments, customized apparel and new textile designs is possible. The 3D knitting machines use computer controlled needles which are capable of achieving different textures and patterns, and the 3D weaving machines create textiles in which the appearance and thickness can be varied according to the needs.

PROACTIVE SUSTAINABILITY ELEVATED. OPTIMISATION. The use of the 'PERFECT FIT' 3D Knitting Programming Production Method can significantly improve the assessment of sustainability criteria due to the flexibility inherent in the process. Traditionally, the mass market apparel industry has focused on the end product, which is understandable. However, no matter how good the product may look on its own, it may not meet the customer's need to look better. With the advent of new technologies, there's an opportunity to shift the focus from the product itself to the relationship a product can have with the future consumer. The primary objective was to create the most sustainable brand possible using advanced, high-tech production methods. This required a foundation. The result was the development of a method that puts the future customer at the centre: if a garment fits perfectly and can adjust itself to fit any mass market customer, whether a designer has met them or not, the result is guaranteed to be flawless. This shift in focus prioritises the outcome - ensuring a perfect fit - over the initial design concept. Rather than focusing on the design alone, as designers typically do, the emphasis is on how the garment will fit the customer perfectly. The design phase is then based on the perfect fit itself. The 'PERFECT FIT' 3D Knitting Programming Production Method allows to put the never-before-seen end customer at the centre of attention. This shift has taken considerable time to establish, now the Method provides the smoothest, leanest functioning of an entire system. In addition to all the sustainability benefits listed, using the Method allows full control over how the final product will look and fit. If a product fits perfectly and also enhances the customer's appearance as if it had been custom-made for them, then the customer will look good in any type of design. This approach also offers complete flexibility in design, focusing on the relationship between the product and the customer, rather than just the product itself. Many comments in the NATALIYA DOLENKO GENÈVE brand presentation come from customers of all ages and all sizes (S/M/L). As the approach was completely innovative, changing the sequence: design - development - final product, the process also required a complete transformation.

You may have heard that we're revolutionizing the #fashion manufacturing with our 3D weaving technology. But what is 3D weaving, and why is it important? That’s the million dollar question. 3D weaving changes everything about how our clothes are made. 3D weaving is a technological breakthrough. One of our Vega™ 3D weaving machines can produce an article of clothing in minutes rather than months. Vega™ machines also waste far less material and use far less energy than cut and sew manufacturing methods. This is only possible because our Vega™ software controls how an article of clothing is produced to a degree not yet seen. As a Vega™ machine creates a tube of fabric, our software can manipulate its shape in real time by adjusting the diameter of that fabric. In other words, 3D weaving designs the cut of a piece of clothing into the fabric itself. For some answers to basic questions about what 3D weaving is, what 3D weaving isn’t, why it matters, and its place in the unspun universe, check out our latest article https://lnkd.in/dX2fy9Q2
