Most AI image tools are built for generalists. The Fabricant is built for fashion. It understands garment drape, texture and fit. It replaces physical sampling entirely. No factories, no shipping, no 6-week wait. Result: 90% lower content costs, 50-70% faster time to market. Bridging the gap between digital and physical through tech pack and pattern automation. Funded by the EU. Made by the team who has innovated in fashion tech since 2018.

The tech pack and pattern automation piece is the most interesting part to me. How finished are the outputs? Like can a manufacturer actually take what comes out and go straight to production, or does it need a technical designer to clean it up first?
Secondly, Replaces physical sampling entirely is a big claim — what happens when a fabric behaves unexpectedly in production? Like if the digital drape looks perfect but the actual textile has a different weight or stretch, does the tool account for that discrepancy, or is there still a physical check somewhere in the workflow?

@sounak_bhattacharya You can send directly to manufacturer, but it is advised to have a human in the loop approach to ensure design intent is correctly communicated. The biggest mistakes still happen with human error, hence a technical product designer who understands both the digital and physical process will be the most important person in the mix.
As for the replacement of physical samples; this is already happening. The brands that are best at this have deep relationships with their suppliers who have an understanding of previous collections that allows them to move fast with less error. We work with an innovative brand who do concept-to-commerce cycles of 2-weeks. It's not 100% perfect yet, but gets better with each cycle.
I love the idea, but I wonder how it would work in practice. While understanding garments is one (very impressive) thing, I presume this would not make samples obsolete (as brands would still need to check how the garment looks with the fabrics that actually exist on the market), but would minimize it? Hope you have a good launch.

@aleksandra_woznica You're not too far off. Most brands still go for the physical sample, but now they can skip sampling stages when they used to need to have a first sample, proto sample, and salesman sample. That's not needed anymore because of internal communication happening completely digitally, and the salesman samples moving to digital showrooms, so a lot of the sampling processes are skipped before getting the final sample. We have great use cases of this from Bestseller Group brands and Hugo Boss already.

This looks really impressive, it doesn’t even feel AI at first glance.
Are you also turning these into physical pieces with designers? Would be amazing to pick a style and actually order it directly.

@maya_elor Yes, that's the big opportunity here. We're launching an automated tech pack in September 2026 (and later sewing patten) modules that allow designers to communicate to their suppliers fast and with greater clarity.
