Innovation in Advanced Soft Goods and Wearables

Designing textile-based products demands more than just creativity—it requires precision, empathy, and technical depth. If you have a visionary idea that merges smart materials, electronics, or structural components into soft goods, we’re here to help shape it into reality.

We begin with a user-centric mindset, combining our expertise in mechanical engineering and product design with a deep understanding of textile construction. From comfort to durability to seamless integration of hardware, we engineer wearable and fabric-based products that not only perform but feel intuitively right to the user.

We do things differently

Whether you need CAD models and drawings for 3D printing, manufacturing, visual rendering, simulation or more, our engineers and CAD experts can create optimized CAD files for injection molding, machining, prototyping and manufacturing.

The Process Behind the Product

The materials we choose for your product are a critical first step in development. A thorough understanding of the products needs, from weather resistance, movement, compatibility, stretch and finishes is critical to selecting or working with textile manufacturers to design the perfect materials for your project. This is the foundation of the product, and will effect the performance, comfort and ultimately success of your product.

Integrating your unique technology, whether that is hard components, electronics, software features or just a unique blend of materials, is our next step. Leveraging our strong engineering talent we will seamlessly incorporate the high or low tech elements into your garment in a way that is functional, comfortable and manufacturable.

Using our in-house soft goods prototyping lab we will use stitching, cut & sew, bonding, lamination, thermoforming, compression molding and other techniques to fabricate your soft good prototype. Iteration can be expedited when compared to an outside vendor since we can build and test quickly right in our own facility.

Often a final output of the process is not only a prototype, but a full tech pack that can be presented to a textile product manufacturer. The tech pack is like your product’s instruction manual, helping the manufacturer of your specialized product understand its construction. Communicating with soft-goods manufacturers is often more complex and nuanced. Having a development team behind you that understands the unique process and has strong relationships with with soft goods manufacturers will help ensure the transition from prototype to production is seamless.
