Could a 3D robotic loom be the answer to making fast fashion faster and more sustainable? Unspun’s patented loom (so proprietary that we had to blur it for the video) can create clothing that fits you seamlessly every time, with just a scan of your phone, and far less waste than other clothing production methods. 

Unspun is pioneering a different method of apparel production out of Oakland, California. By utilizing three-dimensional weaving, the start-up is building garments from the ground up, perfectly customized for the wearer’s dimensions.

So, how could this technology reform one of the world’s dirtiest industries? Follow us inside the company’s headquarters to find out.
