In your view, what is the value added for designers who choose to use your animation or 3D prototyping?

-Avoid making "the wrong" samples. If a sample doesn't look good in 3D, replace it before it is too late.

-Skip sewing redundant duplicates to show different colors and textures. Produce them only after a commitment from your customer.

-Visualise your ideas before creating a physical sample.

-Slash design development time by 20%.

-Half the number of test cottons and test physical samples.

-Eliminate design ambiguities and errors.

-Facilitate communication between design and pattern-making.

-Create low cost garment-related

promotional material.

-Impress an audience with quality 3D renderings and fashion show animations.

Your mission is to help designers find solutions that enhance design, reduce costs, and save valuable resources. Do you consider Style No. 2806 a “green” company?

Absolutely. The raison d’être of 3D technology is to facilitate the “green” approach to business.

With 3D technology we can make sure that we only produce that which is wanted or needed...that we do not produce just to visualize and test. Producing just to visualize is not only

costly in terms of resources but requires incredible infrastructure to manage sample inventories.

We believe that integrating “green” solutions into business models is what will ultimately determine who will still be doing business in the next decade.
