Clothing production has changed a lot over the years, but for the most part, it still follows the same basic formula of stitching together different pieces of fabric. Now, one Boston-based men’s wear brand has found a way to use 3D-printing to eliminate the need for seams altogether, Mashable reports.
Ministry of Supply specializes in “athleisure” items, and their newest jacket doesn’t quite fit in with the rest of their collection (or any other store’s collection, for that matter). It’s manufactured through a “3D Robotic Knitting” method that produces a single, seamless garment. The whole process takes around 1.5 hours, and supposedly results in a better-fitting jacket.
