Unlock Your Future With Next Generation Technology

At Fabdesigns, we choose integration from material selection to the finishing
We create entire platforms of manufacturing rather than just a product.

From the very beginning, we chose to develop our expertise, methods, and technology independently — free from the influence of any single machine builder. This independence gives us the freedom to push beyond conventional knitting approaches, rethinking what was possible in textiles for performance, fashion, aerospace, medical, and beyond.

At Fabdesigns, we don’t just knit fabrics — we engineer possibilities - entire launch pads. 

We are offering exclusive licensing discussions to select platform companies interested in our technology, where each patent is a whole manufacturing platform, rather than a single product. or method.   We are patented in the EU as well. If yours is a forward thinking company,  this could be particularly strategic.

Our 6 Patents Technologies - Reframed

We have 6 individual platforms, each one:

1. Changes how things are made (manufacturing disruption)
2. Changes how things interact with IoT (connectivity revolution)
3. Applies across multiple industries (footwear, medical, aerospace, automotive, wearables)

This isn't a patent portfolio. This is an INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION TOOLKIT.

A Partnership Built on Innovation
Fabdesigns is powered by the combined talents of Connie Huffa and Bruce Huffa, partners in business and former partners in life for over 30 years. While we’re no longer married, our mutual respect and shared vision have only strengthened our collaboration. 

In an industry where rumors travel fast,not all of them true,  we believe in letting results speak louder than gossip — and the truth is, Fabdesigns has never been more alive or more inventive. We don't think in idividual products, we think in making tens of thousands of variations consistently and repeatedly on production scale.  We build from the idea of how to create excellence. In a perfect world  what are the game changers in a category of product everyone wants, but don't know they need?

Together, Connie’s creative vision, experience product architecture for some of the top companies in the world, and deep material knowledge pair seamlessly with Bruce’s unmatched technical mastery in machine engineering, programming, electronics, and 3D knitting. For over three decades, this synergy has driven breakthroughs for apparel, aerospace, medical, and industrial applications — and it continues to set the standard for what’s possible in advanced textiles.

The clients we work with lead, not follow.

At Fabdesigns, we’ve never followed the crowd—and we certainly have never let a machine builder define our capabilities. We've created materials, pushed manufacturing processes, squeezed waste - optimizing sustainability, removed chemicals of concern before it was cool.

Our technology was born from a completely independent path of engineering, free from the constraints of Stoll, Shima, or any other machine manufacturer’s vision. While most of the industry has been locked into knitting methods dictated by equipment sales, we evolved on our own terms—developing new ways of thinking and new ways of building.

Bruce Huffa’s mentor, Thomas Stoll—the legendary champion of technical textiles—was a visionary who saw beyond fashion apparel. He inspired a mindset of engineering first, machinery second. That philosophy became our foundation: design the solution first, then make the machines serve it, not the other way around.

Today, 98% of knitting machines worldwide are sold for apparel or for making basic footwear uppers—most of which are produced as flat squares, only to be die-cut into shape. In footwear manufacturing, this process wastes an average of 65% of the original material, sending it straight to landfills. For us, this waste is unacceptable. It’s not only inefficient—it’s a direct assault on sustainability.

We built our 3D integrated zonal knitting technology to eliminate this waste. By creating fully-shaped, engineered products that are lightweight, structurally optimized, and ready to use right off the machine, we dramatically reduce both material usage and post-processing. This approach is not just more sustainable—it’s also more advanced, unlocking performance zones, complex shaping, and multi-material integration impossible with traditional cut-and-sew methods.

Our patent portfolio reflects this dual commitment:

• Sustainability—Minimizing waste, maximizing material efficiency, and supporting circular design.
   
• Advanced Technology—Pioneering zonal engineering, seamless integration, and high-performance 3D textile solutions.

Imagine creating composites with compond curves, easy lay oup and mutiple functions.

OUr patented technology does just that.  No more cutting rectangular flat sheets of indestructible material - all headed to a landfill.
