Stitch-less ? A Nine Year long wait

 


 

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 World turning imagination real …………………………. 23  Feb  2016

 

Extract :

 

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 ?

 

With regards,
