| Voxel8 has developed a unique digital 3D printing technology that can zonally tune the mechanical properties of textiles, add 3D embellishments and aesthetic features. The technology is broadly applicable in textile applications from footwear uppers, apparel (bras, gloves, leggings), medical (orthotic braces, wearables), wall coverings, seatcovers, branded goods and fashion articles. Key benefits of the technology are the ability to customize each individual print, tailoring the performance and aesthetic of the textile to the individual or application. Voxel8 uses an additive process (less waste) and have developed a 65 % bio-based material set to further reduce the carbon footprint. They can impact the functional performance of textiles making them more abrasion resistant, adding support or impact resistance, cushioning elements or grip features. At the same time they can digitally add 3D embellishments and color. The technology was developed in Professor Jennifer Lewis' Lab at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University. | $12M / Series A / Jul 24, 2015 | ||
