Hi Hunters. Do you work in preparing art for fashion and interiors? Are you concerned about waste in the industry and how we can work together to combat that? Do you want to play in an 3D world on simulated fabric and 3D garments to help you build better relationships with the virtual world? Are you prepared to connect with the digital manufacturing renaissance? 20% of waste is created in the initial ideating and design stage of the garment manufacturing process. SwatchEditor can help with the concept, presourcing and sourcing stages of producing a garment. Keeping it digital means saving time, less waste and preparing content for social media and CRM platforms. Keeping it simple means that everyone can store artwork, embroidery, colours, knit, weave and garments in a portable library and access at any time. It is easy enough to play in a 3D work area and share initial ideas with clients and colleagues. Digital production can enhance and create a hyper experience to the physical world. Imagine being able to give your client the opportunity to view a piece of artwork, quickly on a sample 3D garment, simulated fabric or even a digital twin and allowing your client to easily play with scale, colour and placement via a link into a virtual workspace. Presently we trade at exhibitions, client visits and lately via ECommerce and have to send jpgs to clients. JPGs will ultimately take up space on your system and client will have to print them out and change scales on a photocopier. SwatchEditor allows the user to visualise an idea sustainably and quickly. For users it means that you can have designs at your fingertips and maybe even pull out old artwork to re-imagine and play with. We offer a new fun way of trading and linking in with a vertical manufacturing system. Exciting, valuable, fun, interactive and simple! LETS GET PHYGITAL! After the effects of Covid and physical trading we are now in a period of global fragility because of our climate crises and economic downturn. This may push the fashion sector faster into utilising digital software within their production processes. Digital solutions are fast appearing, but without the forward thinking of connecting these easily into the digital circular manufacturing chain, lack of skill base and global legislation it could hinder the uptake of technology which is much needed within the industry. Within the surface pattern sector, users are only just taking up selling designs online even so many are still printing digitally and travelling unnecessarily. For art suppliers there is uncertainty of how to create new business and connections in a digital world. Working within a digital production frame requires new skills, or external resources; both can be timely and costly. There is a lack of trust with digital production and confidence is needed in that the quality of the physical product will be represented as per the digital product. There was always a problem physical trading where clients would need to send a file back to the office and also try to imagine a design in a different colour way or scale, meaning more unnecessary physical and digital waste. The company’s purpose is to provide an easy solution to connect the digital manufacturing chain, enabling efficient pre-sourcing workflows, shorten time to market, and eradicate end of life physical products. The software’s growth includes converting 2D artworks to 3D digital twins without expert knowledge, to begin visualisation before digital and physical production. It is also developing a blockchain system to safeguard copyright of artwork.
