Waste-Eliminating AI Tools

In fashion, a zero-waste pattern is a sewing pattern that allows for all the fabric to be used during the fabric-cutting process. As the fashion industry is one of the top polluters in the world, many designers are turning to zero-waste pattern strategies to curb waste.

Currently, there are solutions on the market that help with optimizing usable yield during fabric-cutting and one useful tool comes from SXD. The startup utilizes artificial intelligence to curb fabric waste. Catered toward fashion brands looking to amp up their sustainability practices at the manufacturing stage, users can input data—such as design concept and fabric type—and have the software generate an efficient zero-waste pattern that is ready to be used.
