Seamless precision with a sustainable footprint

Join 3D Knitting & Technology and Amatec AS together with Shima Seiki Japan & UK for an exclusive idea workshop.

Redefining Manufacturing with 3D Knitting Technology.

3D knitting is a high-precision production technology that creates seamless forms directly from yarn. This process eliminates the need for sewing and assembly, minimizes material waste, and allows exceptional freedom in product design.

3D Knitting & Technology AS, an innovation centre based in Norway, is launching the development of advanced 3D knitted products in collaboration with SHIMA SEIKI, Japan’s leading manufacturer of knitting technology and AMATEC, machine supplier and automation specialist in Scandinavia.
