For a long time, creating a textile prototype meant time, logistics… and plenty of friction.
You send files. You launch print runs. You wait for samples. Then you start over. Again. And again. The result? Weeks of delays, rising costs, and stalled creativity.
But today, there’s a new path forward — faster, more agile, more sustainable. How? With three concrete tools already adopted across Europe.
1. The digital prototype: a faster, more convincing 3D version
Forget flat sketches. In just a few clicks, you apply your prints to a 3D virtual garment, viewable from every angle.
No more back-and-forth emails or unclear visuals. You can share a crystal-clear preview of your design — right from version one.
Faster validation. Zero sample waste. Real-time feedback
2. The 3D showroom: collaborate remotely — just like in person
Your supplier is in Spain, your designer in Paris and your team in Italy? No problem !
A digital showroom lets you present collections, compare fabrics, and gather feedback — without leaving your screen.
The result: faster decisions, streamlined exchanges, and a unified product vision.
3. The online configurator: design, iterate, validate
This immersive tool helps you go from idea to execution — in just a few clicks.
You configure a full product (print, fabric, finish, color) in real-time, with zero technical skills required.
Your digital prototype comes to life instantly, ready to be shared with your team or your clients.
Less friction. Fewer versions. More clarity.
Why it matters
Reducing physical prototypes isn’t just about performance. It’s a matter of sustainability, agility, and competitiveness.
- By limiting shipping, printing, and sampling waste, you reduce your environmental footprint.
- By speeding up go-to-market, you capture more market share.
