Why Fabdesigns?
Designing and creating 3D knit products has never been so popular. But no one teaches the technology, not even the machine builders. Many designers and companies have no idea where to start.
- Are you an apparel designer with so many great ideas for sustainability, but you’re not sure if the machines can make any of them?
- You want to buy machines to on-shore your products, but you don’t know which one?
- Did a salesman tell you knitting machines are just like the 3D printers, you bought a machine, and just figured out they're not?
- Can’t find any place to learn without taking take months or years off from your job to go back to college? And, it turns out even colleges don’t have the details you need to truly innovate?
