Vega is a 3D weaving system that produces a pair of pants in 20 minutes: 10 minutes to weave two tubular pant legs from 2,600 yarn spools, then 10 minutes to finish and sew them together. Shuttles pull the yarns into a tapered weave that can vary in diameter, creating custom-fit sections without cutting waste.
With Vega, you can go from yarn to a pair of pants in 20 minutes. You can spend 10 minutes weaving the pants and 10 minutes on finishing steps. I cannot actually show you the real machine. It's confidential. I need you all to sign NDAs to see it. But I can show you this sort of artistic interpretation of it and sort of explain what's going on as you watch. So we start with a spool of yarn. And we start with actually 2,600 of those spools of yarn, all coming in to the same core. There are shuttles spinning around those yarns, pulling them in together and forming this tube shape that you see here. This tube shape can be a variable diameter, which can create a taper, and you can basically make one tube for a pant and another tube for a pant. And then we perform finishing steps of sewing them together, and then you've got the finished pair of pants.
