Just a question. I have gone to your site www.kniterate.com, and the image very clearly has a bunch of garments with seams in them, and if I am honest, they do not look revolutionary at all. Please could you comment on this fact? Is this a non-representative stock image? I am very intrigued by your idea of, for example, the seamless t-shirt but the (admittedly single) image on your site does not do this pitch justice. Please prove me wrong. By the way, I am assuming that you are affiliated with kniterate, given that your profile on Hacker News is new.
- anmorgan 10y agoI'm actually not affiliated with Kniterate, but I do work at a product design firm and we have a production 3D/Digital knitting machine from Stoll, one of the smaller units seen here: http://stoll.com/stoll-produkte/2_1 http://stoll.com/stoll-produkte/2_1 I can't speak for Kniterate, but by just looking at their machine, it doesn't seem to be large enough to do a whole shirt. If you take a look at the production machines, like Stoll's, they are much larger/wider/have more needles and are capable of doing a whole garment. And I would agree, that first image of sweaters on their website look like regular sweaters, but still could have been made piece by piece and sewn together.
