A leading additive manufacturer Stratasys will apply its newly launched Direct-to-Garment (D2G) solution on its J850 TechStyle printer for the Urban Tattoo denim collection to be launched at the Texprocess exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany on April 23.
The D2G technology enables manufacturers to incorporate full-color, multi-material 3D printing directly onto fully assembled garments, including denim, cotton, polyester, and linen. Through this innovation, fashion brands can create personalised and bespoke designs, catering to individual preferences, sizes, and styles.
Zehavit Reisin, Senior Vice President, Commercial Solutions, Stratasys, says, the technology enables brands to infuse more character into their clothing lines while adopting sustainable business practices that resonate with consumers.
Enabling customisation of various garment types and sizes, the D2G tray kits are available in two sizes. This technology aims to reduce material waste and streamline the production process.
A result of collaboration with renowned designers such as Karim Rashid and Travis Fitch, the Urban Tattoo collection transforms everyday garments into unique pieces of wearable art. According to Naomi Kaempfer, Creative Director, Stratasys, the collection enhances the emotional connection between the clothing and its wearer by adding layers of stories and symbolism to garments.
Data from InvestingPro shows, with a market capitalisation of approximately $694.02 million, Stratasys navigates through a challenging period with a negative P/E ratio of -5.48, reflecting the company's current lack of profitability. Despite this, the company's gross profit margin remains strong at 44.53 per cent, indicating a robust underlying business in the last twelve months as of Q4 2023.
