Variloom is an on-demand, on-site 3D print-to-shape fabrication system for soft goods and textiles.

It lets companies design and produce customizable, recyclable products in days instead of months, with manufacturing closer to the point and time of need.

Natural fibers made printable

Bio-based soft TPU with wool. It drapes like a textile and prints like a polymer.

  • Bio-based (USDA). Meets the USDA bio-based certification standards
  • Abrasion resistant. 125,885 rubs, ASTM D4966-12, about three times the 40,000 asked of heavy-duty upholstery
  • Machine washable. No change in appearance after laundering, AATCC/ASTM TS-008
  • Keeps its size. Dimensional change after laundering −1.6% warp, −1.3% fill, AATCC 135-2018t

Software for design to production

Two pieces of software and the printers they run. The design tool writes the toolpath. The print operating system runs the fleet.

The design tool controls the printer’s path directly, where a slicer can only shape it indirectly. Start from more than 20 base patterns, each with its own parameters, or build a fully custom design.

The preview shows a realistic picture of the print, ready to share across the team. Open a few of its parameters, and anyone it’s shared with can explore the design.

The print operating system lists every printer with its job, its progress and its readings. Open one to inspect it: the design on the bed, the camera, the settings for this print.

Award-winning design and technology

We work with brands and suppliers to make textiles (Continuous-run printed fabrics for apparel, soft furnishings, and accessories, as sheets up to 1.6 m wide.), apparel (Print-to-shape garments: jackets, performance layers, boardshorts. Engineered zones for stretch, abrasion, and breathability.), accessories (Belts, straps, footwear uppers, gloves. Hard and soft transitions printed in one continuous piece.), bags (Rigid-to-flexible bag bodies, technical cases, instrument sleeves. Compartments printed inside, with no hardware.), luggage (Hardshell luggage panels and full bodies. Structured for impact and printed in one operation.), headgear (Helmets, caps, technical headwear. Fit taken from a 3D scan; ventilation channels printed into the structure.), and wearables (Wristbands, soft-fit jewelry, sensor housings. A TPU body with rigid points embedded for clasps and electronics.).

We also make the textiles behind industries like automotive, medical, and interiors.

Let’s create together.
