At Texprocess 2026, Style3D | ASSYST showcased how artificial intelligence, 3D design, and automation are transforming the fashion value chain—from concept development to final production.
Held in Munich, the event reinforced a clear industry direction: fashion is rapidly evolving toward digitalization and AI-led workflows. Style3D | ASSYST demonstrated production-ready solutions that integrate AI, 3D, and 2D technologies into seamless, end-to-end digital processes.
Strong Industry Engagement and Market Validation
“Our takeaway from Texprocess 2026 is very clear: the show was a strong success for us. We experienced a high level of openness toward innovation. The strong traffic at our booth confirmed that our solutions for AI, 3D, and automation are exactly what the industry is looking for.” Hans Peter Hiemer, Managing Director, Style3D | ASSYST
The strong visitor engagement highlighted growing industry demand for digital transformation tools that improve efficiency, creativity, and scalability.
End-to-End Digital Workflows for Scalable Production
Visitors experienced fully integrated digital workflows, including AI-assisted design, 3D and 2D product development, automated costing, and precision cutting. These solutions support both large-scale manufacturing—demonstrated through denim production—and flexible micro-factory models for prototyping and small-batch production.
Live demonstrations with partners Zünd Systemtechnik and Bullmer showcased how digital planning connects seamlessly with automated cutting systems, enabling efficient, high-precision production.
Robotics and Physical AI Take Center Stage
A major highlight was the introduction of robotics innovations through Synreal.ai, focusing on physical AI applications. These developments aim to train robots to handle complex textile materials and simulate real-world production environments involving soft goods.
Innovation Spotlight: Digital Workwear for Robotics
In collaboration with Alsico, Style3D presented an innovative project involving protective workwear designed for humanoid robots. The garments were developed entirely digitally using Style3D Studio, created within days using a robot avatar—without the need for physical samples.
Industry Insights and Future Outlook
Style3D | ASSYST also attracted attention at the Texprocess Forum, where expert sessions highlighted real-world applications of AI and 3D ecosystems in fashion production.
As Hans Peter Hiemer, Managing Director of Style3D | ASSYST, explains:
“Texprocess 2026 clearly confirmed one thing for us: the next step is consistent AI adoption and the shift from isolated tools to fully connected end-to-end processes. The show remains the ideal platform to demonstrate how the apparel industry can reinvent itself through digital innovation, AI, and robotics. From AI-driven design to automated cutting, visitors at the Style3D | ASSYST booth experienced the future of fashion technology first-hand.”
The showcase underscores a broader industry shift toward connected, intelligent production systems, positioning AI, automation, and robotics as key drivers of the future fashion ecosystem.
