3D Weaving

Gold

Award Category: Manufacturing, Logistics and Transportation

Award Sub-Category: Modernizations

This is the first pair of pants in the world made from 3D weaving. We invented a robotic 3D weaving machine that inputs yarn and outputs seamless 3D legs. These pants vary in shape throughout to custom-fit the consumer: pants in 10 minutes. An apparel invention like this hasn’t been realized since the sewing machine in the 1840s.
