Knitwear lifestyle brand, 22 Factor has launched a new 3D knitting service which allows designers to create their own garments. The Li & Fung-linked technology is described as a waste-minimising whole-garment production technology, as it allows designers to produce small volumes of stock in a short period of time.
The 3D knitting technology features an HD virtual sampling which allow designers to customise and visualise their designs without creating a physical sample in the traditional manual way. Using Shima Seiki’s wholegarment technology, the manufacturing process is shortened by 92 per cent while the quality of the garment remains.
