Fabdesigns offers rare B2B consulting services, prototypes development, and post development production of 2D and 3D footwear, technical fabrics, and textile components with nearly zero waste. Our clients are big brands, startups, film industry, and others.
Bring your existing Stoll program, prototype, or develop a new project with us.
We do the hard stuff for designers, engineers, start-ups, and mega-brands. This is real innovation: 3D & 4D textiles with integrated functions in footwear, automotive, medical, aerospace, architecture, composites, sports equipment and more.
Over the last two years we’ve shifted from solely R&D to vertical development and manufacturing, by capturing business that ordinarily went to third party factories.
By taking production in house, we’ve solved the transfer of technology problems, which caused a lot of time, effort, and pain points for our clients and the sweater factories around the world who are of a very different mindset and business model than technical textile production requires.
These specialized projects build jobs, good reliable and confidential business that is as insulated as possible from knock-offs, as well as skillsets for our clients, while we save tons of post-production trash that would go into landfills around the world.
Over the past decade we’ve built a robust IP portfolio and licensing program of certain technologies for footwear, medical, aerospace, apparel, composites, and other industries.
Manufacturing in house keeps our IP and our clients IP safely in house.
What happens at Fab, stays at Fab.

Mini-Class: Traditional Textiles vs Technical Creating products is a process. Innovation is the buzz word. Companies need IP in order to get funding but many times don't understand which path they're on. This class contrasts and compares traditional path with technical product development.
Bonus Class: Proper Oiling of a Flat Knitting Machine. A little oil in the right places can make all the difference in a machine running properly, or breaking yarns, and wearing out. See how to properly oil a machine.

There are many types of yarns in the world. Everything from natural materials to synthetics can take different yarn sizes, configurations, and a world of variations in fibers themselves.
So how do we get all of these different yarns to knit in the same knitting machine?
