3D Fashion & AI for Small Apparel Brands

Fashion is changing—but most small brands are still being taught tools as if they have enterprise budgets and full innovation teams.

This all-day, in-person immersive workshop is designed specifically for small apparel businesses, independent designers, and lean teams who want to use 3D fashion and AI tools in practical, affordable, and scalable ways.

No buzzwords. No theory-only demos.

This workshop is built for:

• Small fashion brands (1–50 people)
• Independent designers & founders
• Technical designers & patternmakers
• Product developers and consultants

✔ No prior experience in 3D or AI required
✔ Perfect for beginners and early adopters
✔ Ideal if you’re doing too much manually

Learn how small teams use 3D to:

• Replace physical samples
• Reduce development time and cost
• Improve communication with factories
• Create production-ready digital garments

You’ll explore:

• Real-world CLO3D workflows
• Garment visualization vs production accuracy
• How 3D fits into existing processes (not replacing everything)
• What actually matters for small brands

AI isn’t replacing designers—it’s replacing inefficiency.

You’ll learn how small brands use AI to:

• Speed up design ideation
• Improve color and material decisions
• Support product development
• Enhance communication and presentation

We’ll demo and discuss tools like:

• AI for design support & ideation
• AI for color, imagery, and visualization
• AI for workflow acceleration—not automation overload

This is where it all comes together.

You’ll leave with:

• A clear 3D + AI workflow roadmap for your business
• Tool recommendations based on your size and goals
• A realistic adoption plan (no enterprise tech stacks)
• A better understanding of what to ignore

✔ Practical 3D & AI workflows
✔ Clarity on what tools are worth using
✔ Confidence to start (or refine) implementation
✔ A small-business-friendly digital strategy
✔ Real examples from the fashion industry

🚫 Not a software sales pitch
🚫 Not enterprise-focused
🚫 Not a trend talk
🚫 Not just “future of fashion” theory

This is about doing, not just learning.

• A laptop with CLO3D downloaded (recommended)

3D and AI are best learned interactively.

This workshop is intentionally:

• Small group
• Discussion-friendly
• Hands-on
• Focused on real business constraints

To keep the workshop interactive and implementation-focused, attendance is capped to 10 ppl.

• This workshop is especially effective when attended as a team. Team tickets are available for brands who want faster adoption and clearer workflows.
