Research & development of Digitoile.3D - an integrated, intuitive, customisable 3D design software & platform to promote experimentation and play, and liberate designers from wasteful physical sampling processes.
Digitoile received funding from Future Fashion Factory and partnered with the Royal College of Art and Autodesk, to begin development of a proof-of-concept design tool - Digitoile.3D - which is an ongoing project.
Currently in development at Dubit
Part of the Autodesk Outsight Network
Exhibited in the Future Observatory at Designmuseum London - see more here
How might we reduce textile waste in sampling processes?
From 2D to 3D - and back
The big challenge for fashion designers when it comes to sampling, is fit. The human body is malleable, and accounting for this movement requires multiple test, as well as transport from production.
Digitoile.3D provides a space for 3D scans of explorations can be mapped and unwrapped, as it were, into 2D pattern pieces - and vice versa.
UX / UI Design
Market & user research has been conducted with focus groups, workshops as well as qualitative interviews with students & industry.
Using API’s from Autodesk.

Functionality from 2D to 3D
It was important, that the software mimics the functions, you’d be able to perform in reality, with real materials.

Tomorrow’s Wardrobe
Tomorrow’s Wardrobe showcases the urgent research and innovation taking place across the UK to rethink how the world of fashion works. Moving from fabric landscapes to design studios to individual garments, the display presents a future built from both high-tech and low-tech tools: sewing machines, robotic arms, artificial intelligence, digital ids, upcycling, recycling and more.
