FAQS

WHAT IS ELMNTL NYC?

 

ELMNTL NYC is a sustainable fashion brand based in New York City. We specialize in creating women's clothing and accessories using innovative 3D printing technology to minimize waste and environmental impact. Our products include 3D printed sweaters, cozy sleepwear, and wool socks.

 

WHAT MAKES ELMNTL SUSTAINABLE?

 

At ELMNTL, sustainability is at the core of everything we do. Our 3D printing technology allows us to produce garments with minimal material waste compared to traditional manufacturing. We use eco-friendly materials including modal fabric made from beechwood trees for our sleepwear. By producing on-demand and locally in NYC, we reduce our carbon footprint and eliminate overproduction.

 

HOW DOES 3D PRINTING WORK FOR FASHION?

 

Our 3D printing process uses computer-controlled knitting machines to create seamless, custom-fit garments directly from digital designs. Unlike traditional cut-and-sew manufacturing that wastes 15-20% of fabric, our technology produces nearly zero textile waste. Each sweater is knitted to shape in a single piece, eliminating the need for cutting patterns and stitching separate panels together. This innovative approach allows us to create complex textures and designs while maintaining exceptional quality and fit.
