As the first service of this platform, we will contribute to the operational efficiency and cost reduction of apparel manufacturers by replacing the samples necessary for conventional clothing production with 3D digital samples. In addition, we plan to launch an AI-based sales demand forecasting service at the end of this year, aiming to reduce excess inventory and at the same time reduce environmental impact by producing only the required amount. In addition, TOYOSHIMA and GVO will collaborate with "Prock" in May for STELLA VIANA, a DtoC brand that utilizes 3DCG for women in their 20s.
60%* of the clothes produced in the world are discarded every year, and mass production and mass disposal in the fashion industry have become a major issue. Under these circumstances, in recent years, the fashion industry has increasingly used 3DCG digital samples for sample production. Due to the need for software, etc., it was a problem that prevented its widespread use in the field.
*from the pulse of the fashion industry report
“Prock”, which will be launched by GVO from late April 2022, is a one-stop platform for communication such as requests for 3D sample production of planned products, progress management, delivery of completed data and requests for corrections. It is an apparel DX platform that can be done. By linking this "Prock" with the "3D Library" provided by our company, it is possible to check 3D digital samples on any PC without the need for special software.
By introducing "Prock" linked with "3D LIBRARY", we will promote DX in the fashion industry and streamline operations, while at the same time contributing to solving the problems of mass production and mass disposal faced by the fashion industry. I will continue.
