OK, so good afternoon, everyone.
I just arrived live three hours
ago, and I am already overwhelmed
by what is going on here.
So many machines, so many
Kostov. Actually, this is my first time
at the event.
And at the moment I'm
a bit nervous because there are so many
people today and my first time
as well. So
you can see that I'm not a native
speaker and when I'm nervous, I tend to
speak a little bit and clearly.
So if you do not understand
me, please give me a signal like raise
your hand or something like that.
Thank you.
And so
my presentation today is
about building our own personalized
open textile production line.
OK, so let's stop.
First of all, let me introduce a little
bit about myself.
OK, so my name is again from Fanhouse
in Vietnamese Harmful.
I'm from Vietnam
and I come from the Mekong
Delta, which is quite a poor
region in south of Vietnam.
And in my region, you know,
maybe some of you are wearing the clothes
that produced for my region.
So we have a lot a lot of clothes
factory.
And that export is close to to Europe
in the US.
And on the screen you can see here,
this is a sewing pattern
for for what I'm wearing right now.
So I'm going to show you.
So this is what I'm wearing right now is
a Vietnamese traditional dress,
so it is very popular back to
the 60s and 70s, but nowadays
you can hardly see it in Vietnam anymore
unless you come to an event like this.
Then you can see the outline.
OK, so this is the example
of a sewing pattern like before
you used to like the rest that you need
to come. You need to have the pattern
and.
OK, so let's continue.
So the region
where I come from, we could produce a lot
of clothes and we can see
a lot of problems going on
in the garment industry.
And today, I would like to
to to mention to discuss about the
issue and how we can solve them.
And so
our goal of the project is to
make a revolution for the textile
and garment industry
there. A lot a lot of assemble to show
that the system is broken.
And so let's see, how can
we fix it?
OK, so
get where it is.
This is not in Vietnam.
This is a picture that's taken in
Dubai about three months ago,
still Dubai.
OK, we noticed that really glamorous
city, the tallest building in the world,
the best hotel in the world, and
biggest Moore in the world.
And to have probably the
most oil in the world, maybe.
But so, you know, the city, abundant
energy, you know, on the street,
there are a lot of stuff.
And when you go inside, bust up the
install air conditioning in
the bathtub and inside
the bathtub, even advertising messages
saying that here in Dubai, it
always 23 degrees Celsius.
So that's how to use energy.
And the desert in the middle of the city
of Dubai.
And this is a small Tyler Talercio,
most of a guy I come from Bangladesh or
Pakistan, and you can
see they have no window in their working
area, no air con, only
one fan installed in the ceiling.
And in Dubai during the summer, the
temperature can get above 40 degrees.
And this is the condition that these
tiles are working on at the moment.
OK, so next one
and this.
So this one is the picture that I take
from my cell phone.
I've been living in Dubai for a few
months, and this one is the picture taken
from the Internet because it's very
difficult to get access into the factory
in China or Vietnam.
So this is just a simple
picture of a factory
in in China.
But nowadays, you know, a lot of clothing
manufacturers are moving to Vietnam
because we have cheaper labor costs
and really just a very low
wage to China.
So we we're receiving a lot a lot
of foreign investment in the garment
industry.
And so what it is, I
believe you guys still remember
the deadliest accident
in the garment industry just
happened one year ago
in a district of Dhaka, the
capital of Bangladesh.
There were about one thousand one hundred
twenty nine people died and
more than two thousand five
hundred injured after this accident.
So
so you can see that, you
know, the people really don't care about
the condition of the building, for they
do not care about the laborers.
And that's how the building collapsed.
So the next thing,
this picture is taken at a factory very
close to my house in the in the home
in the city of Kento.
And in fact, one of my cousins
who used to work there has to work
six days, six days
a week and about 13 hours,
but they only earn
one hundred and fifteen dollars per
month, which is only around four dollars
and forty four dollars, 40 cents
per day for 13 hours.
So, yeah,
so so what these
Istanbul towers
is mean that the labor, the labor inside
the textile industry is really unfair
for them because this is not really one
point seven trillion industry,
but the people who work in this
industry, the majority, don't make a lot
of money.
OK, so next thing is
the next problems
or challenges that we are facing right
now in the textile and garments at
just this little.
What do I mean by that?
So, you know, now is going but
every season you see a lot of color, a
lot of collection in style, in the mall,
in the shopping area, a lot of clothes
out there. The fashion are growing very
fast. But what hasn't changed much in the
way how they produce the clothes.
So a lot of factory and
businesses are still using machinery
that's stuck in the 80s.
Why is it like that? Because it's cheaper
for them to pay it, to pay labor than
to upgrade a machine.
OK, and the next one and
one of the the
biggest issue
that come from that industry is
the pollution.
So you can see that 77,
17 to 20 percent of
industrial water pollution come from
the textile dyeing
and treatment.
And it's a 70 to
toxic chemicals are written solely
from dying in which 30 percent
cannot be removed.
And this is really bad for our
environment. You say the water in the
river is great, but
if you if you have visited Hodgeman City,
you can see that a lot of area that the
river actually black, not the red
light this.
OK, so
and the next the next issue
that I want to mention here is
clothing's are not produced locally
anymore, especially here in Europe, in
the U.S., because a lot of
clothing production and moving to
developing country like ours or
Bangladesh, China,
Indonesia, the Philippines, and
you don't see a lot of factories
in Europe anymore.
So it also mean that
now the people
get less and less access to
to try to close production and they maybe
in the future, nobody will know how to
make clothes anymore because you never
make them. You just go to the shop and
buy them.
OK, so the
next one and
another issue
come from the consumer.
So I don't know
if you ever faced that issue that you
go to the shopping mall spending several
hours but couldn't find clothes that fit
you. This is what happened to me all
the time. So I travel a lot.
During the last year, I've been living in
Dubai. I was in Singapore and I
was in the U.S. before.
So my all because it can never
fly laws that fit me.
So and
I used to go to a shopping mall with a
friend of mine from Australia to really
beautiful stained model.
So you can find all the clothes that Feto
and after spending seven hours together,
couldn't find clothes for me.
So they would say, see it, make a
chocolate. OK, so if
there is a person that's smaller than me
in the world, probably a 12 year old
chai, but this is
not true because in Vietnam, my side
really normal medium, there's
also smaller people compared
to me. So then
you can understand that house,
Jacqueline. They are to find clothes that
fit ever travel to Europe or the
U.S..
And also another problem that
we have that we can see very well is
we organize events in Asia every year.
We have a lot of
friends and speaker come from Europe and
the U.S. And if it's happened,
it forgot to carry their clothes.
They couldn't manage to find clothes that
fit inside Asia.
It's very difficult for them.
And what
is it?
So is it the
so to measure the sizes
and Ostende, even though they say, OK,
even though they said, OK, so we met
standard sizes for the industry, we have
small, medium, large.
But if you look at Germany, France,
Italy, Besi are not
the same, even though for the same piece
of shirt or jeans and this is
only one example.
And you could imagine how many products
that you have out there.
It just like impossible
to have to do to
get something that fit you, like, so
difficult to understand. And now in
China, what is this?
OK, so let me go back a little bit
and OK, so the
next one.
Another issue, the broken
customer relationship, no
room in the code and let industry
model four make the measure clotting
in tools and decides that in the past we
utu to go to the shop,
get our measurement done and entirely
make our arrest.
But nowadays we don't have the chance
to interact with tailers or
our designer anymore.
And that's the come back to
the issue that you can never find
something that fits you
on the neck,
the problem is the broken
production system.
What does that mean?
Tools are expensive and not
interoperable and
proprietary format.
What does that mean?
So that means that a lot of
software, the industry,
are close and very
expensive. That's why very few
people on this I know got access to this
down to the tools.
And the next thing is designed
to protect manufacturers based on the
tools. So now design.
I know if they want to the manufacturer
to to produce their their claws or
their desire, they need to use the
same tool because there isn't anything
else that available,
everything close. And for them for for
some small I they are very active
to have nice idea, but they cannot afford
the same tool.
That's the issue.
And the next one must order
in large bastide, which is
a very big quality.
So the fashion industry is
all about big quality.
So if you just want to produce a few
shirt or obfuscate it, very
difficult for you to fire a producer
that can do this kind of job for you.
The last point is this.
I want a quick resistent.
If you are designing anomaly, you have a
piece of of work and then you want
to do want to produce it to see
if you can change it or something.
But it's very difficult to be done.
You have to spend a lot of time, fireboat
produce and have to travel back and
forth so and convince them to bring
out one piece for you so you can see for
it and then continue to produce.
So it take a lot of time and effort
has
the next step.
Then the next
problem is happen
in the distribution system
so that these
distribution system for the industry is
just for huge production
runs, for instance.
Again, I don't want to emphasize again
that industry, it was for big quantity
and these small and medium designer
cannot get access to to the industry.
Those channels also no space
for smaller, smaller designer
incorporates the animals that
you can design.
Something that said, OK, I will sell
at Zarah or on
them. And they don't do that.
OK, so
so according to
the diffused Istanbul that I showed you
just now, it just.
I said something so funny, I don't know,
like wrong.
So, OK, so
so just like everything is broken,
like in every level of
the industry is broken and for
design, for production, for custom
also. And also the DP
distribution, Gendell, everything seems
broken and doesn't work.
So how to fix it.
This is a picture of
our friend in the open tech
community in Berlin.
I believe she also here today.
So Yvonne is a designer
and also a consumer herself.
So she want to have a fair and
environmentally friendly solution,
say one to to produce locally,
see one to have open
source software, and they want
to be able to do to
express herself in a creative way.
So how to get it
dry for Yvonne and the rest of us?
That's the question here.
And we have a few ideas
of how to solve these problems.
So we come
up with something.
We are looking into the news
interfaces for government and spectacular
production and free
and open source software and hardware
in open data formats and
in open government marketplaces.
OK, so
OK, so what's next for the second
half of.
So I have come to the first half of the
presentation.
So for the second half of the
presentation I will introduce
to you well what am already
happening out there.
So on the screen it was
a simple business up a V
Q so via Q e
the term for Vietnamese who live
overseas. So this family migrated
to the US in night in Abbotsleigh
in the nineties.
And so they are a
business though.
There is a website that allow
people from the U.S.
to to provide to input their measurement
and then the data will be sent to the
local to to the to the family
back home. So because in
Vietnam, everybody produce cheaper in the
U.S., you cannot afford to do it to make
something customized.
Yes, but in the family in Vietnam,
we based on the measurement and they can
also select a suit that they want, that
they want to produce.
They produce something from Vietnam and
then they will shape over to the family
in the U.S.
And then this family we then
delivered is the custom made piece
of a suit to the American,
to American people.
So this is just one model of business.
But what is good about this model?
The website allows you to to provide
your measurement.
And, um, and this is what
we want to do.
So but they really do is
only for their own business.
But our idea, we want to have a solution
that we that allow people to input
their measurement in
a way that we can
we can share and we can can store it can
can digitalize
the measurement that as we come up
with a project called Tweedie,
the trade body measurement,
and I
would I would show you
a prototype of this project.
Give me.
OK, so, um,
so I only eat something
beforehand because I don't want to
do it as everyone.
So let's see what can we do
here?
So we click on the measurement list and
let's see.
OK, so is it, um,
the trade is a very simple
project, and then
let's see, what can we do here?
That chandy, this one to
70.
They say, have you are?
Yeah, so
yeah, man,
we press yeah,
yeah, yeah.
And yeah.
So this is just one idea.
So the project is the very new and
we do we want to do a lot more.
We want to do it.
We can change the sizes we want to, but
that would ultimately decided not to.
Okay. So when you see in the facilities,
let go back to the list.
This is not all the measurement
you have on your body.
There are a lot more.
So we are still working on it.
And so later
on we want to do more thing, which is not
just that we want to have a 3D model body
measurement on the smartphone where you
can just use your phone to to get your
measurement and send it to to
do a database that can be shared with
everyone.
Yeah, you can also have
a female body.
Yeah, see, you see two different.
OK, so let's go let's go back to.
Hmm.
OK, so on the court available
on GitHub, if you want to check it out
and install it on your computer to test
it.
So after we we get
we got a measurement. What what are we
going to do with it?
OK, so we come up with
OK, so this is some
edits that the project we already have a
very international team.
We have people from Germany.
German people always participate in
anything.
And
what is it a complement this
at the moment.
I wish I could be German.
So and also we have people from India,
from Sri Lanka who
join us for this Wacek and I hope
today, uh.
Q Thank you.
So I hope today we can get
more people to join our project.
I guess
so.
By the way, Force Asia
is the UN is an organized
nation that I've been involved for
the last five year.
Initially, it started in Vietnam to
support the development of free
and open source software and
try to adapt open technology
for social change with a focus
on Asian user.
Oh, OK, so after
you have the measurement, what do you
what do you want to do next?
Uh, we need to store it somehow.
That's why some of our member
of the community have an idea
of the value of a human definition
format.
And it try to find where you can
store measurement
and you can check out here.
I'm not an expert, but it's always that a
few people are laughing.
But maybe you don't want me
or next one.
OK, so we have we have
measurement. We have a way to start a
measurement.
What do you want?
What we do, we want to do next.
So for the next thing, I would
like to talk about the open thought
pattern making
patterns. So what a pattern is.
The one that I show you in the beginning
of the flight or the display?
It's the days.
And so how is it
attempted attempt itself in which
you can
from which all to pack up your gedman can
be tried on a fabric before before
they cut in and assemble them together.
And so
the is one of the software,
the open source software that
that created built out by our friend
called Susan Spencer from the you asked
about a few years ago.
So what Susan does
is Susan is a
is a good old American.
I shouldn't say old EESA
is an American lady.
She really lovely.
Really.
OK, so she did tie in
and so so she tried to
think of Zelada to do so.
So is as you mentioned, it started
as he started to surface when she was
four years old.
But he didn't have John to do it though,
drew all her life and now she retired
and she wanted to go back to sewing to do
something with it.
And so realized that all those
50 years, nothing had changed, much like
to see it still do the same thing
like she did in the old time.
So they come
up with the idea of software
that can create a digital pattern.
So what she did was the she
tried to do a pattern based on
mathematical formula
copied in Python and then executive
in Inskip Attention
and tried to export
FCE and then from effigy
to a PDA that can be
sent to the printer that bring out a
pattern that to bring out a sewing
pattern.
And so I met Susan
three years ago at a
breakfast meeting and during the past
three years I met her almost every
every year and always listen to her
house, how she did the project and
everything. And she also showed me
how to do a pattern
based on mathematical formula.
So that's what I try.
I try something with the
processing and it turned out you can also
generate some kind of pattern
in processing.
So you mean that there's a lot of
on target to put on
there? Maybe there's also a solution with
all the free software that can help you
to do a sewing pattern.
And this is another project,
though, because of this work.
We got other people to contact
us to do to
tell us about their budget.
And is it another software
that's called Project Valentina
develop on Kutty
five from
Broman, a guy from the Ukraine.
And yeah, so
this is about pattern
making pattern, sewing pattern, and
the next thing that I want to
the next thing that I want to to
introduce to you is embroidery.
Uh, do you know embroidery?
Yes. No.
And embroidery.
I.
Yes, yes, this embroidery
can put your best into.
OK, so you see in her jacket,
so it is it the process
of making pattern
on your fabric by
touching by that.
And this is the embroidery.
So how in your time,
how do we do embroidery?
A lot of people sitting down and do it by
hand. They spend all day and
night to do to do this kind of work.
But recently they do.
Of course, they also have the machine
to do
embroidery, but the machine is very
expensive.
Not everyone can afford this machine.
So, you know,
jobs in the Tanen,
they stack a project or embroider
Mordred, which is a software that
read your your own embroidery design
in the cat program and then
generate embroidery files for home and
commercial machine.
And they started a Kickstarter
campaign this year. But unfortunately,
every day they were doing they us.
Therefore, I don't know,
not much interest for embroidery.
I guess so.
And so it is.
Yes.
And by the way, I dress
as we talk about embroidery, even though
I don't know how to call that big hole
where a lot of machines are, there is
a person called Oleksander Brooke.
He came with a embroidery
machine. So if you want to see how
it looked like, he has a very big
machine, very close to to the stage
and it creates
change. So you can hear from Value-Based
the intercom there, and he can show you
how the embroidery machine works.
OK, so the next things
are the next thing
that I want to mention here,
a knitting, knitting.
I believe we know knitting because what
we read right now for winter, most of the
clothes that we that we were knitting.
So knitting, Adelaida, is
a big interest
come from Haircut's for knitting machine.
Why is it like that?
I think because for anything you can
create
a piece of shirt or a piece of
garment from the beginning to an end
so that they're not a lot of
Brosset that need to blow through.
You don't need to go to
all the lot yourself.
You don't need to
you don't need to to do patankar.
You can produce everything at once.
So that's why a big entries
come from the the
hackers and developers for this.
And
on the on the screen
there is an example of
a shop in London does
allow customer to look
at knitting and to draw
their own pattern and print it out their
shop. It printed out there
that they're close inside the shop
at the time that they come to
do that store in London.
It's just reference.
And
the next project is
OpenNet, which is, you
know, this one. So
started from Georgia
Rubial, from Barcelona.
And this is a very
interesting project.
So in a moment, I will show you
a video on this.
And together with his team, he also
they also develop a software
connected with
allow you to make your own design and
communicate with that
on construction knitting machine.
So let's see the
video.
Can you comment
on
this?
It sets
the straight
guy you.
Larry.
Did you see me
looking down the.
Some
saying, oh, my God,
I.
So you like it, huh?
So, yes, so
are they making in the neighborhood?
This is our God.
Is it what we want to do?
We want to produce locally
right here in your hometown.
And so the next project
is also about
what is this here?
So can
you comment?
Sorry about that.
OK, so what is this?
So this is a picture that's taken
in the
Mexican emelin just a few months
ago and
oh oh my goodness, I'm so nervous I
forgot her name.
I remember.
I know.
But so so she came
to the event.
And so what what
is this about?
So she
is a woman that on
15 knitting machine at home
see love to need.
And she came to Damascus.
He met he met a lot of hackers and learn
about how they they happened in the
him was she and
she really excited.
And so you see you see one you
like Hecke developer to help her to
to upgrade her knitting machine.
And this is what we want to do next,
to have more knitting machine.
And another project also
about knitting.
Yep.
Oh, yes, beautiful.
And this project is coming from
Germany munching.
And fortunately,
we have the two foudre update
Bajak here today, Distin
in Athens, Formanek.
And so
that would be upon us today.
They will come on stage and
give a live demo for us.
So please join us on
Facebook.
Hi, so my name is and
I'm from the Chaos Computer Club Munich,
and I will show you should I
project?
What we have here is a knitting
machine from BRUDDAH from the seventies.
These machines are produced
to the 90s, so they are not produced
anymore.
And what we actually did, we
replace the whole electronics with Narino
so you can control it with a standard
procedure or whatever.
And the small
tool in Python, uh, to use
it. And what I can do is you can knit
any graphics you want and
I will show you quickly.
So we here we have
the yarn and whatever, and
I already started with the knitting, so
it's a bit easier and all you have to do
now is to move it from the left to the
right.
It does nothing.
OK, it won't work.
So just imagine how it would work.
And you can maybe use a sound, a lovely
sound of the machine.
So if it would work,
then you can see a nicely picture
of the Congress logo, but
it doesn't work. Sorry.
OK, so thank you so much.
It's so typical, right, is that
it would be strange if it works now.
So but that's quite different.
That is why we are here.
We need to to fix the problem.
We need to to do more to stop.
So thank you very much, Ms.
And so let's continue
once that.
So so these are
these are problems, audio, a sample
of what's already there
in the in the in the markets.
So what are the next step?
We need more machine to hack and Liberi.
We need fashion tech makers basic.
We need software developers and designer.
We need to start a local production
everywhere and control environmental
standards.
And we need mako's.
Is that your own business, that safe and
open fashion store?
OK, so
and I know
this last the reason why I'm here today,
I'm looking for help.
So, um,
I hope that some of you,
you know, it's always the problem
is so people would say that the designer
in the fashion industry, they don't talk
to the Hecker's. They always lack of
communication between technology
and fashion.
So that is our idea.
We want to create a network
of people who work together
to Hackamore machine to
to build a new
knitting machine from 3D printers
or to join our open
network Amoco's.
By the way, this picture is
it's called an Audi knitting
machine and majority
pack, a feature of Mexican black and
plastic.
And so
if you have any ideas how to
help us to to
create a personalized open
textile production
line, then to
give you ideas.
This a few places that
our community members will be there
to talk with you, to discuss with you
more, so we will be at
the first time in Brazil, January
21st to February one,
drum up Internet of Things.
And we have one
big event coming up in Singapore
for March 14 to 15,
force Asia.
And we will be then
at the open house where Jack and
also at the open trade summit in Bali,
May 15, also open
how we attract and the
next Michigan conference,
Fashion Tech Week in Berlin, October
six to 12
1/2 to you.
You can join us then.
And that's it.
By the way, I forgot to say thank you so
much for your attention and thank you for
not raising your hand, you know,
hope.
Thanks for the awesome talk.
We had a lot of fun.
We have plenty of time left
because of your precise
talk so we can have some questions.
If you're interested.
If you'd like to ask a question, just
stand behind the microphones and wait for
my signal. And until that,
is there any questions from the Internet,
from the people that are not currently
right here? I think.
Yes, there are.
So I have the first question
regarding the knitting machine.
People were really impressed by the video
you showed. I'm here right
behind.
Yes.
So and they ask, like, how
long does it take to make one piece of
clothing? Was such a knitting machine
like you showed in the video
about three hours.
It's out it depends
also depends on what type of clothes
you want to make, you want to make a sweater,
you want to make sure we will at least
let us see who can answer this
question and
have a machine.
What do you think? How long do you play
it?
Well.
Uh, with our machine, you have to do
a little bit more headwork,
um, it's not fully automatic like the
knitting machine, but, um, yeah,
it depends on board for a scarf.
You need about, uh, 10 minutes,
20 minutes or so.
And for a pillow, you need about
30 minutes. And for a full
sweater about, uh, uh, three
hours. Four hours.
Thank you, the gentleman in the red
pullover.
What's your question and my question
about the quality of the garments?
Um, I had some some things made
some some time ago in
some foreign country. And then the shirts
came out after some year,
they they were worn out and the quality
of the cotton was not good enough to my
to what I wanted.
So how do you how would you think of
managing the quality of the game?
I don't like the quality of
clothing like HSM, which was
out in three months.
I want to wear my clothes for many years.
Yes, exactly.
That what we all want to do, we want to
to keep our nose as long as possible.
But also this is a problem that we
have now in the industry, like
for me, my clothes only after
what time it will one
out you of wear them anymore.
So a lot of
so so we have a few
rishard we're not doing the resort
ourself all for the fabric.
But I read on the news, a lot of
some people come up with making
fabric from bacteria, from,
from bacteria and, and they
have an idea of making a better
fab fabric with some
material that friendly fire environment.
And this is also our biggest
question. We want to produce better
clothes. How can we do this?
I cannot answer this question because
I don't have a solution myself, but maybe
some of the people here will have and
will tell us some people, maybe
researcher, and they would die deep into
it.
How to create better
quality fabric.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you for the question.
Would you please ask your question and
get closer to the microphone so we can
all listen to you?
Hello. Yeah, working one question.
You were showing us patterns and knitting
and embroidery. How do you take control
of the sewing process?
In the beginning you showed one website
where people are connected with local
sewing people. But is that website part
of your project or how how do you
deal with that?
As though our project so we
are a network, so we did a body
measurement. So we also do
the patterns as software.
But this is also a sample of different
projects that are going on.
This is not ours, Ally.
We we are a community, a network of
different people and a website.
The people make that from
the US.
The business that they they they
input a measurement.
This is just a business that in
a sample that we want, we want to show
what is it out in what we can do with
this? Is it not in style budget?
But we we wanted to show the possibility
in how we can work with this.
Yeah. OK, so you only deal with the
measurement software, but you don't go to
the whole sewing and
measurements of and Pattani also related
to sewing.
We also try to develop
software to create patterns in this that
I mentioned, Valentino project
tile metatarsal that inside our
network. So we have a lot, a lot of
member and each person do different
things. OK, no, the only question was who
is sewing the clothes from the patterns,
what we store in the clothes on the and
let's say at the project, tell me to tell
Susan the designer and see also Soho
style so you get a pattern and then you
saw yourself.
But the idea for the future is we create
a network of designer producer
and then the the the
database we connect and everyone can
do the best they can. The designer can
have the direct contact
with produce and then we produce
and ingrosso the pattern for himself or
you can have some you can do it at
home.
Yeah. That's the idea for the future.
Thank you.
Thank you for the question. I think we
should to check whether we have questions
from the Internet.
Africa.
Yes, we have.
So the next question from the Internet is
whether you and your organization
are also looking in open local
fabrication, fabric production,
like with weaving, like
there was someone who turned a knitting
machine into a computerized loom
to make fabric like a tool
in German.
And so is this something that
you're also interested in?
Yes, it is.
So we are looking for all kinds
of possibilities to improve the industry
and to make a new faces
for the fashion design.
So we are interested in any
solution and interested in any people
that would like to work together with us.
That is also why I'm here today.
I look forward. We will look for more
people to join the project, to join
us, the community.
Yes, is is answer your question.
Sure.
The gentleman over there in the blue
pullover, would you like to ask the
question?
OK, first, thank you.
Thank you for your very interesting
presentation.
My question is that if I compare with
some other industries like electronics,
they moved the production out to
cheap labor countries like perhaps
Vietnam, I know of China.
And now that there is increased level
of automation, they moving this
production back to countries in Europe
because they don't need the labor
anymore. There's so much automation.
Aren't you afraid of the same thing may
happen in the textile industry
that it will move out of Vietnam because
we don't need to hands labor
anymore. You only need programmers and
technicians and then no laborers anymore.
Yeah. So I believe that with technology,
for instance, now, instead of working for
a big factory earning very little salary,
I think that I can't afford
a machine that I can produce my own
cloth and sell my own laws to the market.
So that is the goal that the technology
becomes so cheap that even the laborer
can afford it can do some some some stuff
themselves and be able to make their own
business instead of rely on big factory.
And also it's our idea of
how they are making
a connection of all the level
of
production, you know, some design
that they will not produce
them.
So they focus on creating
the the design and
they still need the people to sew this
kind of fabric together.
And that's what we're may maybe in the
future we can say
this, the middle man, the big factory,
then designer can contact them directly
with the people inside Vietnam.
And we can also had opportunity to make
our own business based on new technology.
Okay. Thank you.
So are there any more questions
in the room over there, one?
OK, so actually I have two questions.
The first one is, have you considered
using 3D body scanning to
obtain the body shape instead of just
taking measurements?
Because I guess measurements are not
everything.
Bodies with the same measurements
can look a little different
and fit the body. Scanning might
be more precise.
I have a problem.
I don't really understand
the question you can use
like cameras from different
angles to import
the whole body model into the computer
and then use it to
check clothes on it.
Yes, that what I mentioned in
the 3D body measurement we individualized
to do to use our smartphone
to take. Oh, I see.
Yes. And if you can help us
to develop an application on the
smartphone, that would be cool.
All right.
And the second question is, how do you
cut the pattern in
materials?
They use scissors, do it manually
or do lasers.
Yeah. So day to day is
an industrial machine
they use they can cut for you and for
the tailor.
Make it, for instance, this one
everything I
see, everything is done by hand.
But also like big companies
that name this thing that
they closed at a factory and they have
big machine to cut the fabrics.
To answer your question, yes.
I thank you for your talk.
Thank you.
Yes.
Thank you for your question.
I think. Do we have another question from
the Internet?
Yes. Last question from the Internet is
regarding the big manufacturers.
So you talked about standardized
formats and that would be
interesting for us to know whether
there's any interest from the big
manufacturers also in your standardized
formats, whether you had already
some talks or they contacted you
or something like that.
So the big companies
still earlier this year, not
the the not the the
the people who produce clothes, but we
talk to produce the the
company who produce the sewing machine.
And actually they sell they show a big
interest in any
idea. And they
they they intended to join our
Majken a few months
ago. But unfortunately the engineer has
some kind of entitlement and he couldn't
show up. But we are still in touch
with products and they show great
interest on the project.
And my question is
the industrial machines.
Sorry, I'm here.
My question is industrial machines are
more expensive because they're bigger
and the printers, individual
printers are cheaper because they're
smaller. Is that the reason or is there a
technological difference
between the two which makes industrial
machines more expensive to acquire by
the average person?
Industrial machine, they can produce
faster, they can produce more,
and also they can do
more stuff that is with moisture.
Yeah, it's more expensive.
Is it the question?
Yes. Thank you.
Are there any more questions there in the
back? Who was first, you or you?
OK, don't go away.
What's your question?
My question is quite simple.
You say you are being at
a lot of events next year, but do you
have an assembly here so we just can
go over and talk to you after that?
Yes, we
we have a group of people here, actually,
and I just arrived today and
the members in my group saying that we
have we will meet and raise you
and raise you here.
Uh, so where
is the display that we that
we have you?
I don't know. This is my first time.
I don't know the area, but but our
members, I think they have they know
where to meet.
Mario.
So a
so and
where is it, where are you located?
Do you need a microphone?
OK, so, um, this
is the space with the other knitting and
sewing machine is inspired by
the three in the
right corner in
the back of the room.
I think if you're interested, you can,
uh, check this out and, um,
you should maybe announce where you will
be staying after the talk.
So if people want to ask questions
directly to you without the big audience,
they have a chance to meet you up after
the talk. I will be there with them.
Yes, sir.
So, uh, who will be in
three at the CCC with the
other knitting machines?
Are there any more questions you have a
yes, awesome.
As we saw the rise of 3D printing, we
saw a lot of struggle with with patents.
So I already
saw when I looked into that earlier, I
saw that those needles are somehow
patented by brother or something.
Is there is movement there to
free them in a way of not having
patents there, maybe with the,
uh, free, uh, printing,
uh, Broadcom restricting their,
uh.
So, you know, this question will be best
ENSO by one
of the better. But the question would you
like to to answer that question?
At least I could try.
Um, um,
yeah, the most
most parts of the machines can be
built by yourself.
Um, but as you just mentioned, the
needles, um, are still parts
which you have to buy also because,
um, it's not that easy to to build
them. Um,
but, um, it's not witchcraft.
So if
you saw such a needle you can have a look
at it. It's really simple
build up. So um, perhaps if
somebody can think of another slightly
another, uh, layout, you can
avoid patent or but at the,
uh, restrictions.
Yeah.
So it's not like in 3D printing
where we basically have everything that
makes sense patented.
So it's basically just a needle and
everything else is kind of open
as well. Yeah.
Okay.
This in this example, the OpenNet,
uh, machine, um, is, uh,
pretty many, uh, parts, but
3D printed. So it's also not that
easy to assemble.
So if you want to start right away,
perhaps it's better to get, uh, an
old machine which is complete and
working and, uh, start with this.
And, um, yeah, putting an open
machine is perhaps a little bit for the
more advanced users.
OK, thank you.
Thank you.
Are there any more questions?
No.
So thank you for attending,
give a warm round of applause to honkey.
Thank you. Thank you very much and I
would like to say thank you to
Young for a very welcoming and a
beginning and thank you to I don't know
how you said Androes over there.
Thank you so, so much.
Thank you.
