In this segment, the speaker emphasizes that standardizing 3D trim assets is essential for accelerating the apparel 3D design ecosystem. Trim enters the digital workflow later than fabrics, and it possesses unique characteristics such as seam allowance and sewing space. When a trim item is approved as a standalone piece, these allowances should be visualized, but when the trim is integrated into a garment within simulation tools like CLO or Browzwear, the extra space can be removed. By defining clear use‑case categories—standalone approval versus garment integration—suppliers can produce appropriately formatted 3D files, enabling brands to use the assets more efficiently.

I think the standardization is key if we want to accelerate this space. Right. And trim, I think entering this space maybe a bit later than fabrics or raw materials. It's been interesting to see all the work that's been done already in this space and how trim has some sort of unique characteristics onto itself. So we might think about things like seam allowance or sewing space on a trim item. If you're approving that item just on its own, you want to see that visualized. But if you're applying it to a garment, you might not need that space. So that would be something that we might remove from a 3D file if it's going to be integrated into a garment simulation tool like CLO or Browzwear. So I think in my mind, standardizing the use case really helps drive what kind of 3D we're making on the supplier side and then how it can best be utilized by brands like yourselves.
