Opportunity: the problem
experienced by R&D firms
& prototype shops
problems hiring freelance
pattern/sample makers
most lack experience
that would be beneficial
new technologies
working abroad
sewn good manufacturing/factory experience
hard goods development & manufacturing
most have never been the customer
pushing boundaries of innovation
most are fashion-focused
none have 3D modeling software
traditional methods of soft goods
sample development is timely & costly
digital modeling would resolve this but...
hesitant/reluctant to
invest in new software
& skill set
soft goods not
their core business
a lot of time/energy to
test, train, change
people required to run software need
unique mix of computer skills and
pattern making/sewing construction
unaware of cost/benefit
cannot find contract
pattern makers with
2D/3D to outsource
unaware that this
software exists
have to wait for
physical hard parts
if being integrated
make 4-5 physical attempts
before having a prototype
good enough for customer review
hand drawing/altering patterns
is long process. Can only know
outcome after sewing sample
requires shipping if not local
problems hiring
prototype shops
no textiles capabilities
cannot do integrated products
have textile capabilities
rely on traditional methods
no digital modeling for textile products
(or force fit into wrong program)
contract sewing
primary motivation is production
specialized categories
no digital modeling
avoid textile
products altogether
