Let's talks 3D
Digital transformation is omnipresent. The increasing demand for individuality and the influence of digitization are causing significant changes in the textile industry. What key trends must innovation leaders respond to in order to take a leading role in the industry?
This is precisely where PERFORMANCE DAYS comes in with a new platform, first presented at the show in spring 2024. In the Tech Hub in Hall A1 companies and manufacturers showcase solutions for digitization processes. How will 3D clothing and product visualization processes work in the future? How can materials be digitized in a high-quality manner? How far has the industry come in terms of digital catalog production, and how will designers create their collections on the computer in the future? Renowned experts, like e.g. Vizoo, PB Accessories, Shanghai VSK Technology Ltd., Inuheat Group AB or Hohenstein Fitting Lab showcase initial examples and are available for questions.
