\u201cOur initial product intention is to do a seamless jean because it is specifically a woven product. One of the things that I am working on is presenting a product that isn’t so futuristic or foreign that it discourages the consumer,\u201d Fry says. \u201cEven if it never fully takes over, technology like whole garment production has to push cut and sew forward to be competitive.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As product development and research progress, Fry and the LOOM3D team are looking forward to entering and changing the industry for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith traditional cut and sew where you order from a factory that’s across the globe and high order minimums are required, you end up with excess product,\u201d Fry explains. \u201cConsidering how much apparel we make globally, that’s a really large portion of wasted product, natural resources, manpower, etc. Enabling processes as solutions should be the future of apparel production.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
