It is said > A stitch in time, saves nine
I said “ How about a Stitch-less
garment ? “ – but I had to wait for nine years to realize !
Here is that realization :

Most
innovative breakthrough: No tailor required... Just feed the yarn in the
machine and get the finished dress of your design and that too without
stitches
Here is what I envisaged :
Ø HOW
FAR SHOULD WE SEE ? .. …………….. 15 Feb 2016
Extract :
The rate at which innovations are continuously happening all around us , we
need not look very far !
In the internet age , the " Slow " ( to adapt ) will get
overtaken by the " Fast & Nimble "
Even the " Big " will get left behind by the " Small "
How long before textile scientists come up with a fabric that does not require " Stitching "
to make garments ?
May be a fabric that can be " welded " or " glued " to form a
garment ?
And a automated assembly-line where :
* Fabric is fed at one end
* Glue ( or a welding wire ) , is fed at intermediate
stages
* Fabric gets cut into pieces as per online personalized
" designs " ordered by visitors of Amazon / Flipkart /
Snapdeal etc
What would this do to the manufacturers of domestic / industrial sewing
machines and threads ?
And then what would happen to such automated garment-making assembly lines when people install
3D Printing Machines in their homes ? - machines that can print garments as per
designs downloaded from Net ?
Ø Tech

:
A BBC TV report last evening talked about the Chinese Manufacturers having
developed machines that can carry out traditional Indian " Chikankari
" embroidery on a saree within one hour what takes poor women of Lucknow, close to a hundred hours !
And they are dumping these sarees in the Indian Market at one fourth the price
!
Some 5 lakh poor women in UP are in danger of being obsolete !
DIPP is planning to equip some 100 " Innovation Centres " at
University Campuses across India , with 3D printers
How about some Indian Start Up developing a technology to 3D Print " Chikankari " sarees
and make these software / hardware available to these poor women, to beat the
Chinese at their own game ?
