Smart Knitting

Virtual Knitting by KNITWEAR LAB

Sustainable Innovations

3. August 2023

When the programmers of KNITWEAR LAB teamed up with 3D software specialists, a completely new idea for more sustainable, cost-efficient and design-oriented pattern development and knitwear production emerged. By combining virtual and material knitting, it is possible to reduce the massive waste during the pattern and pre-production phase in the industry and to further advance knitwear development with the help of smart technologies. Knitting on a new level: The revolutionary aspect of the method is the combination of innovative-virtual 3D technology with classic-conventional knitwear. The virtual design can be implemented exactly as you see it, while the actual knitted fabric that you perceive haptically and visually can be virtualised exactly as it was knitted.

When knitting meets 3D software, there are several advantages. Designs can be improved and adjusted at an early stage in terms of design process or colouring to efficiently create virtually producible and realistic prototypes. In addition, the combination of knitwear and digital visualisation offers enormous savings potential: the waste of materials, resources and transport can thus be reduced. Furthermore, the fits for sampling and production are more accurate through Virtual Knitting, which is why, ideally, fewer samples need to be produced. Last but not least – the method significantly shortens the time from design to market and enables early commercial validation of the products, thus offering a win-win in the aspects of economic and ecological sustainabilit.

“A revolutionary method for industrial knitwear development:
A connection between virtual and material(physical) knitting, which creates a whole new world for sustainable, cost-efficient and design-driven sample development and knitwear production. KNITWEAR LAB will reduce the massive waste during the sample and pre-production stage in the industry with the use of extensive knitwear knowledge of the programmers of KNITWEAR LAB combined with the newest 3D software.”

The clothing of the future - Sustainable Innovations

The clothing of the future

BIOTEXFUTURE Germany

Sustainable Innovations

27. July 2023

Every year, more than 120 million tons of textile fibers are processed worldwide – more than a third of them are petroleum-based synthetic fibers, i.e. resource- and emission-intensive, causing waste and polluting the environment. An alternative is needed. But: Where do the fibers for the clothes of the future come from – are textiles that grow on trees or shoes that come from the sea a pure utopia?

As part of the BIOTEXFUTURE Germany innovation space, leading research teams from the textile sector and industry are driving forward the development of bio-based textiles. Their aim is to accelerate the structural change towards a bioeconomy in this sector. On top of that, the ambition is also to find alternatives and solutions for some of the most important challenges currently facing the textile industry – from impregnation and dyes to elastane alternatives as well as textile recycling and microplastic filling in sports fields. On the research side, one of the world’s leading Institutes for Textile Technology at RWTH Aachen University (ITA) is responsible together with the Chair of Technology and Organisational Sociology (STO). For the industry, this part is taken over by the global company adidas AG.

Bye bye, plastic! The long-term goal is to be able to replace virgin polyester as a raw material. In concrete terms, this means that BIOTEXFUTURE is working in ten different projects to convert the individual steps along the textile value chain from petroleum-based to bio-based in the future plus to make the basic research carried out for this purpose accessible to the broad masses as quickly as possible. From algae to artificial turf to fungi: the idea behind the project ALGAETEX, for example, is to use biopolymers obtained from algae for use in textiles. BioTurf is about the development of an artificial turf structure made of bio-polyethylene that is at least as efficient as the petroleum-based materials used so far while being recyclable and without microplastic filling at the same time; the Fungal Fibers project is about the production of bio-based textile fibers from a promising fungusbased production process for the sports and medical sectors.

“The textile industry is not yet sustainable and burdened with massive environmental problems. Natural raw materials and ew textile technologies are a great opportunity for the future to meet the numerous challenges of the textile industry. This concerns the replacement of petroleum for polyester roduction by biological materials such as algae or fungi as well as bio-based coatings, dyes or completely new manufacturing processes. However, the major challenges of the textile sector can only be solved in close cooperation between research and industry. This is why we are committed to the BIOTEXFUTURE innovation space and would like to attract numerous new supporters in the coming years.”
