Our Microfactory enhances the entire product journey, offering brands and creators a faster, smarter, and more sustainable approach to design and production. The shift towards in-house tech production is becoming increasingly prevalent among bodywear brands and manufacturers, and with good reason. By embedding technology directly into our operations, clients can exercise greater control over every stage of production, from concept through to creation. This approach not only accelerates timelines, allowing brands to react more swiftly to market trends but also reduces resource costs.
Notably, leading brands such as Penti and Triumph are harnessing 3D technology in their design and prototyping processes. Penti, for example, integrates 3D design to refine fit and aesthetics early on, while Triumph uses 3D prototyping to streamline production and enhance precision. By adopting similar tech-driven strategies, brands can stay at the forefront of innovation and efficiency in the bodywear industry. This move not only speeds up timelines, allowing brands to respond more swiftly to market trends but also saves on costly resources.
In-house solutions, like our cutting-edge Microfactory, offer enhanced flexibility, enabling real-time adjustments, improved quality control, and reduced waste. As sustainability becomes a core value across the industry, digital tools allow for more efficient use of resources and a significant reduction in material waste. Furthermore, having design and production teams work side-by-side fosters stronger collaboration and innovation, resulting in bodywear that is not only fashionable but also functional and eco-friendly. This is the future of fashion – smarter, faster, and more conscious. Join Bodywear Lab as we take you on an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of how this innovative facility works and how it can help your bodywear brand create elevated, streamlined, stunning products.
Thanks to Style3D’s soft body technology, we can now create incredibly detailed, lifelike bodywear designs right from the initial concept. This virtual design process allows our clients—including brand owners, manufacturers, and fabric suppliers—to experience their products in a fully immersive digital environment before production even begins. By using 3D simulations, we’re able to significantly reduce the number of physical pre-production samples, cutting down both time and waste. Whether it’s a sleek piece of activewear or delicate intimate apparel, each design is perfected digitally, ensuring superior fit and comfort.

One of the Microfactory’s key advantages is its ability to bring products to market faster. Our streamlined production cycles mean brands can expect quicker turnarounds without compromising on quality. The 3D design process offers unparalleled precision, reducing errors and enhancing communication between designers and manufacturers. Gone are the days of endless sampling! With our highly accurate digital mock-ups, the need for excessive physical samples is eliminated, enabling quicker decisions and faster launches.
At Bodywear Lab, fabric lies at the core of every design. Using Style3D’s advanced fabric testing technology, our team scans and analyses the properties of each material—including drape, stretch, and texture—before the virtual design process begins. This ensures that the garments not only look incredible but also function flawlessly. By allowing fabric suppliers to produce fabrics to order, we help prevent overproduction, minimising waste and promoting a more sustainable manufacturing process within a shorter time period, making the entire process more efficient.

CONSUMER INVOLVEMENT
Incorporating consumer insights earlier in the design journey is another game-changing feature of our Microfactory. Through brand testing and early product visuals, we engage consumers before production, increasing the likelihood of creating pieces that truly resonate with the market. This proactive approach helps reduce excess inventory and ultimately cuts down on waste, as well as building your brand’s community through interactive engagement and transparency around the production process.
SEAMLESS TRANSITION TO PRODUCTION
Once designs are approved, our Microfactory seamlessly moves them into production using 3D tech packs. These detailed, tech-enabled files ensure that every design element is executed with precision, from fit to fabric choice. This results in a flawless final product that meets both our high standards and the expectations of our clients.
MARKETING-READY IMAGERY AND CAMPAIGNS
What makes our process even more powerful is the creation of digital assets during the design phase. These assets can be transformed into hyper-realistic images, animated videos, and AI-enhanced concepts. This means your designs are ready not only for production but also for marketing and e-commerce, helping you generate excitement long before launch day.
