How is 3D Technology Spurring Sales of Knitted Fabrics?

Rising demand for improved 3D knitting technologies, automation, and artificial intelligence is rapidly penetrating the global textile industry. The need to enhance productivity is prompting manufacturers to adopt advanced production methods.

Significant developments have peppered the knitted fabrics domain in this regard. For instance, polymer specialists Polymaker and Covestro announced the release of their new jointly developed 3D printable fabrics in 2020. The companies have developed a whole new processing technology, in collaboration with two 3D printer manufacturers.

These printing approaches, according to Polymaker, are environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional weaving. Both companies claim it can help transform and upgrade 3D printed fabrics “from artwork to industrialization.”
