Partnership to advance automation in apparel making
The very first commercial tee-shirts made using CreateMe’s apparel manufacturing robot and bonding technology are to be launched by UNTUCKit, a shirt brand based in New York. The tees will not only be manufactured in the United States, they will also be made from US-grown extra-long staple Supima cotton. UNTUCKit expects to produce some 50,000 bonded tee-shirts per year beginning this fall.

The partnership between the two companies marks a new commercial breakthrough for CreateMe’s technologies. The company based near San Francisco has developed three apparel making solutions. Pixel is a seam bonding device that automates the application of an adhesive, which can be very fine (1 mm wide). MeRA, for Modular-engineering Robotic Assembly, assembles the panels. Its first commercial use was in women’s lingerie. Thermo(re)set addresses recycling preprocessing, as the adhesive can be undone.
