The Paradigm Shift

Traditional Garment OEM vs. KnitDNA Agile Supply

Engineered specifically to eliminate inventory debt for modern apparel brands.

Operational comparison between traditional garment factories and the KnitDNA platform.
Operational DimensionTraditional FactoryKnitDNA Platform
01Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)1,000 – 3,000 units / styleFrom 50 units (multi-size split)
02First Sample Turnaround30 – 45 days (slow paper tech pack)7 business days (3D CAD rapid knit)
03Restock / Reorder Cycle60 – 90 days (miss the viral trend)14 – 21 days agile replenishment
04Cutting Waste & ESG15% – 25% scrap fabric dumped< 3% integral 3D tubing waste
05Deadstock Inventory RiskHigh (capital trapped in unsold inventory)Near-Zero (test small, chase true demand)
02 / SILHOUETTE SYSTEMS

Start from a proven knit architecture.

Choose a production-ready foundation, then calibrate yarn, compression, color, and branding for your market.
