<strong>Printing United Expo</strong>, which was held Oct. 19–21 at the <strong>Las Vegas Convention Center</strong>, is one of the largest and most diverse marketplaces for printing technology and is an incubator for new directions.
With the new year arriving in a couple of weeks, a sense of opportunity and new beginnings has been felt as businesses look back on the progress made and lessons learned during 2021. Entering 2022, the apparel industry is looking toward a fresh start. To support this optimism that has been cultivated through overcoming challenges and applying hard work, businesses will need to continue to invest in technologies that allow them to remain agile, ready to shift direction with solutions when an obstacle lands in their path.

Tukatech has been rolling out services that help designers create garments virtually on a 3D platform. On Dec. 15, Tukatech announced that its TUKAcenter locations and its web-services portal, TUKAweb, will offer services to create 3D garments on demand, with Tukatech staff helping designers create clothes virtually.
To celebrate the launch of the new on-demand service, TUKAweb is offering its customers a first 3D session free, said Chris Walia, Tukatech’s chief operating officer.
“With the growing popularity and increased demand of 3D for visualization, virtual fitting and sampling, apparel businesses around the globe are including this solution as part of their 2021 plans. However, many have been affected by declines in revenue due to the pandemic, and those that are looking to buy a 3D solution are not investing due to costs,” Walia said.
