DESCRIPTION
With this technique, fully formed garments are produced by the machine without the need for subsequent seams.
HOW DOES IT WORK
Compared to the fully fashioned manufacturing which works in 2D, it adds the possibility of creating a complete "3-dimensional" garment. Unlike fully fashioned, where the shaped pieces still need to be sewn together, flat knitwear has no seams. Hundreds of needles move to build and connect different knitted tubular shapes to create a complete dress in one production step.
ADVANTAGES
- A further reduction of materials even compared to fully fashioned since seam allowances are eliminated.
- Garment made and finished by machine, there is no after-operation.
- There are no seams: both an aesthetic and a functional advantage.
- Precise and repeatable production, correct shape and size, the pieces are always the same.
- Post process reduction: no cutting, hemming or other applications.
DISADVANTAGES
- Program the machine and the knitting so as not to result in defects.
