What is 3D Knitting?

Conventional clothing manufacturing methods typically involve cutting large pieces of fabric into smaller pattern pieces and sewing them together. This produces lots of fabric scraps, which are unusable if they cannot be cut into more pattern pieces. However, 3D knitting, also known as digital knitting, is a revolutionary process that creates garments as one seamless piece using meticulously programmed digital files. 

How is 3D Kitting more sustainable?

Because 3D Knitted garments are created as one piece, there is no fabric waste and very minimal yarn waste. Traditional clothing manufacturing often involves multiple production stages across different locations, leading to transportation of materials and carbon emissions. In contrast, 3D knitting can occur in one location, reducing the carbon footprint associated with shipping raw materials and finished products.

Once you place your order, our 3D Knitting manufacturer in Brooklyn, NY, is notified and begins knitting your garments. Once they are completed and checked for quality, they are shipped directly to you. By not keeping any inventory, we cut out shipments to and from warehouses, which helps to keep our carbon emissions and waste as low as possible.

Our EcoViscose yarn is made using 72% Lenzing certified EcoVero fibers, derived from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) certified responsible wood sources. Compared to ordinary viscose, EcoVero fibers produce up to 50% less water waste and carbon dioxide emissions according to the Higg Materials Sustainability Index (MSI).

How is 3D Knitting better for consumers?

A big part of sustainability in fashion is creating long-lasting products. With clothing created using typical manufacturing methods, the weakest points of the garment are the seams. 3D knitting produces garments that are completely seamless, resulting in much more durable clothing. By investing in quality items, you reduce the frequency of replacements, further lessening your impact on the environment and on your wallet.
