What we do makes us who we are. We are Innovative disruption

We've all heard about 3D knitting, right?  Well, this is the man who  brought 3D technical knitting to the mainstream with the FIRST 3D knit  running shoe in 2008, to win awards all over the globe for  world class design, engineering, sustainability and using our Fabdesigns game changing technology.  Numerous patents bear his name.  An alumnus from Hinckley Poly-Tech in the UK and a world-class certified Stoll flat knitting master, trained in Reutlingen Germany, s one of the priveledged few under the mentor-ship of Mr. Thomas Stoll, a brilliant man who saw the future of technical 3D knit textiles in 1978, and who built the infrastructure to create almost anything with knitting as additive manufacturing. 

Bruce is is adept in envisioning, creating, engineering and programming the most difficult knit fabrications on many generations of knitting machinery.  As a master technical expert , he finds opportunities and devises solutions. He is certified by Stoll in adapting, programming, repairing and installing machinery and instructing others for more than 25 years. He is among the few in the world that are considered programming elite, having  concentrated knowledge in electronics analytics, mechanical systems of textile machinery, which has allowed him to create intellectual property for several global brands and Fabdesigns.

His forte is building complete manufacturing platforms for 2D and 3 D shaped structures with minimal or no sewing, which integrate multiple yarns and strategic functions.  Ahead of his time he wrote a digital automated software for customized on demand knit manufacturing of 2D, 3D and shaped knit structures in 1989 which has been used and employed by such companies as Rand Designs, Jelyn-Old Glory, French Rags, and most recently as reported in 2018 by Variant,

Stoll Germany recruited him from the UK to be the training instructor for North America at Stoll America New York. Eventually he'd run the entire West Coast, where he pioneered the flat knitting industry, selling, installing and training new clients. He has successfully planned and set up factories, manufacturing processes, and supply chains all over the world, including installing hundreds of machines himself, and training staff on programming, knitting, machine handling, QA and QC for their own success. 

He is internaltionally known for inventing the Flyknit shoe using his own foot dimensions, machinery, and materials, and is named on more than a hundred patents in footwear alone, though he contends vehemently that he nor Fabdesigns has ever assigned any patent, nor transferred any Fabdesigns' pre-existing techology.  The rift is what caused him to leave the footwear giant.

Currently, he's an international advanced textile engineering consultant, creating specialized programs and confidential in-house training, innovative 3D knitting yarn renderings of designer and engineering ideas on state-of-the-art Stoll Knitting Machinery, for many brands and on location at manufacturing partners around the world, improving production in manufacturing facilities. 

His focus is the most difficult complex,where the impossible is made possible including the several patents pending on the next generation of knitted footwear, complex composte structures with carbon fiber and ceramics, as well as new devices for feeding challenging materials into machinery.
