Technical knitting is the ability to create non-garment related structures using advanced knitting equipment, programming, materials and processes. With the advantage of low labour requirements and the elimination of inherent seam bulkiness and structural weakness points, technical knitting has the ability to produce advanced 3 dimensional structures not achievable with typical cutting and sewing processes.
Similar to 3D printing technology where an object is created by laying down successive layers of material, we are able to build 3D structures layer by layer using various yarns. And with advancements in yarn functionality and performance including abrasion resistance, tear strengths, and thermal or mechanical properties, we are able to produce high performance knitted 3D structures.
