Dibi’s colleague had a business trip to Kyoto, Japan. He took a picture of Kyoto station. The modern steels structure of the station appeals to Dibi a lot. Blue sky and surrounding shopping malls can be seen through the holes of steel frame. She can feel the strength of the building and its eager to connect and communicate with the environment.

Then how about doing a show here?

Her IT colleagues fix the stage, light and music for her. Dibi is now having a show at Kyoto station, Japan. She is wearing a dress made of traditional silk used for kimono but designed by modern 3D virtual technology. Just like the station, designed to connect the traditional city Kyoto and modern life.

And just like the limitless sky above the steel frames, Dibi’s show and her willing to express are also limitless.

A brand new fashion platform called D⁴ started deep cooperation with SdibiT recently. D⁴ values environment protection, health and beauty which is very similar to Dibi. So D⁴ signed Dibi as the brand ambassador.

The video shows the suits that all designed in digital way by SdibiT. Through the application of SdibiT’s digital technology in the design, development and marketing process, D⁴ seeks to advocate a sustainable lifestyle.

Dibi is a Vhuman Avatar created by SdibiT. The name Dibi is originated from the middle part of SdibiT. It has the meaning that Dibi will grow under the protection of Science and Technology.

She loves the earth, loves life, and loves all the beautiful things.

This is her first debut. She is saying Hello to you.

1^st March 2022, SdibiT signed the cooperation contract with Jiangnan University. The deep cooperation between two parts on fashion design technology development and application started.

Jiangnan University is famous for its Design subject which ranks 3^rd in domestic universities. At the same time, Textile Science and Engineering subject also enjoys good reputation in the fashion industry as it ranks 2^nd.

Combining its design ability and engineering advantage with SdibiT’s technology, a revolution in Fashion industry is expected.

In the White Paper on scientific and technological innovation in the garment industry published recently in China, SdibiT’s digital solution is included and recommended. While 3D pattern-making is quite familiar to the fashion industry in China now, SdibiT’s 3D design and pattern making solution is outstanding because of its body shape database and VR garment silhouette building technology. The workflow picture in the book shows that there are 5 key steps in the process.

One is building digital torso of target market based on the body shape database.

Two is building digital garment silhouette based on software calculation and the 3D garment can be transited to 2D patterns in real time.

The third step is building pattern database of different parts of the clothe and all these parts can be exchanged based on the same silhouette.

Then the forth step, build the digital fabric database through fabric simulation. Build the Avatar database according to step one’s 3D body shape data.

And finally, all the above database can be combined to become a whole product development solution for a fashion company. It can also be a DIY VR fitting app to consumers which is an entry to metaverse.

The biggest difference of SdibiT’s 3D solution with others is obvious now. It works with the same 3D data in the whole process and its data can be used both in the following production process and in the Metaverse world.

SdibiT becomes member of Metaverse Innovation Alliance of Wuxi this year. In this community,  we will have more technology and business partners. Combination of different technology is going to build a fabulous Metaverse.

The sustainable fashion industry forum held by SdibiT and XXY Innovation aims to discuss feasible measures that can drive fashion sustainability from comprehensive perspectives, introduce advanced technologies, share new design thoughts and encourage environmental friendly fashion consumption. The forum is supported by China Dragon Design Foundation.

The theme of the first session held on 21^st Jan 2021 is the digital transformation of fashion industry. SdibiT invited professionals from university, one of outstanding designers in China, managers in famous companies and observers who paid attention to the fashion industry. Specialized in different part of fashion, these people shared their own opinions about sustainable fashion from different perspectives.

Yan Yan, professor of College of Arts of South China Agricultural University, shared general concept, principle and theory of sustainable fashion. Application cases such as jeans that in compliance with the jeans redesign standard by Ellen MacArthur Foundation were also shared in detail to help audience understand the theory deeply.

Haitao Sun, famous designer, shared sustainable fashion as the core competitiveness for fashion design and fashion brand. He also emphasized the power of design to connect technology and market such as the application of O2O digital design platform.

Vincent Chen, manager of VENETIA, a made to measure brand belong to Jiangsu Sunshine Group Co,.LTD, shared the digital transformation measures taken in this giant fabric and apparel production company. The pattern big data, intelligent manufacture process and data flow management all plays an effective role in its technology update.

Wen Yan, CEO of SdibiT, a digital technology provider specialized in human body contour shape, design and pattern data and VR visual data, shared how to control the data-pipeline by 3D design and pattern making application. She also shared SdibiT’s subversive digital technology process which is different from the mainstream 2D → 3D prototype (virtual sample garment production) in the apparel industry. Different from personalization, the process is a real customization based on customer’s preference and body contour shape.

The decisive difference is the first stage of pattern making for generation of body trunk garment. No matter for which size, [2D pattern making method] and [2D grading method] are not used at all. The prototype of SdibiT is [3D (generate) → 2D → 3D (confirm)], named [Clone Shape Ensured Method] by us because of its extremely high 3D reproducibility of real clothes. Only by generating 3D virtual garment in advance, can we respond to evolving customization requirement of the market. And it is also an indispensable engineering step to fulfill the customization requirement.

High 3D reproducibility in clothes of different designs can reduce the returns or exchanges caused by “Fit & Size” in online shopping, and instead of just focusing on sales, turn fashion business to a more sustainable and appreciated mode. A mode in which consumers can design their own clothes and place the order after check the VR fitting, then the production begins only when receiving an order. Everyone in this business cycle makes contribution to environment protection at the same time.

Bin Yue, Project Director of XXY Innovation, a consulting firm, shared his opinion towards cooperation between different parts within the fashion loop.

After forum, a common opinion is achieved that more communication and further cooperation between every party is necessary.

可持续时尚可以说是2020年秋季中国国际服装服饰博览会的关键词，为期2天的可持续时尚主题沙龙对话每场都吸引业内人士讨论得火热朝天。中科数泰SdibiT也高度关注沙龙上的交流碰撞，参与其中。

在中国服装协会产业经济研究所所长陈国强看来，要实现时尚业的可持续发展，大生态圈里的每个环节都必须从可持续的角度约束规范自身。从原料的产生、纺纱、面料制作工艺、设计制版、生产、销售、包装、物流、企业运营到消费者的消费观念和习惯，链条上的每个因素都与整个时尚界的可持续息息相关。过去几十年的工业化发展让行业越来越趋向于细分，如今的信息技术发展则有望将各个环节重新融合联系起来。

ABtSustain可持续创新中心运营总监胡玥玲非常认同陈老的看法，懂面料的设计师太少了，把环保面料融入设计工作中是未来设计师应该具备的技能。现在，这个中心正在致力于向大家普及更多有关最前端面料产生有关的知识。

艾伦麦克阿瑟基金会循环时尚的中国区负责人范华星跟大家分享了行业在可持续方面做的一些努力。目前阶段，虽然环保面料的运用成本较原来高出很多，但是很多品牌已经从一个系列做起，比如新型的环保牛仔系列，借此向消费者传达品牌自身的可持续态度。消费者非常聪明，他们会从众多选择中找到与自己的价值观相匹配的产品。

在中科数泰SdibiT的可持续时尚链图中，设计制版是控制前后端的重要一环。近两年，越来越多的科技企业涉足服装大产业，阿里犀牛智造、中科数泰SdibiT、Style3D、中深尚科技等等在业内掀起了一阵阵风浪。他们各自专注于智能制造、3D设计制版数据加工管理、3D渲染、消费预测等细分领域。相信这些前沿技术的融合不仅仅是提高产业效率那么简单，一个全新的可持续的商业模式正在诞生中。
