Palo Alto startup Variloom is launching a pilot facility in 2026 to scale waste-free 3D printing with partners YKK and Rip Curl. Utilizing a bio-based TPU and textile waste composite, the system addresses the industry's 33% overproduction rate through on-demand, local manufacturing. This decentralized model slashes transport emissions while ensuring performance garments remain recyclable up to 3 times. ♻️ It signals a pivotal shift for AM into functional, high-performance circularity. #3DPrinting #SustainableFashion #AdditiveManufacturing #CircularEconomy #Innovation
