Bodd 3D Printer

Australian Start-up, Bodd was formed to disrupt global custom clothing through advanced 2D/3D scanning and 3D printing technology. Bodd and D+I have collaborated to develop and engineer a cheap + rapid 3D printer that enables designers to bring their customers to their place of creation without ever having to meet them face to face. Bodd provides an end-to-end online service enabling easy customer engagement, measurement, custom clothing ordering through to E-commerce platform licensing. Bodd has collaborated with leading universities to create an easy-to-use mass-market smartphone app that provides detailed body measurements and 3D body representations. Through advanced algorithms + neural networks, Bodd provides a cutting-edge solution to the ‘size problem’ faced by e-commerce and custom clothing market players.

Bodd is an additive manufacturing venture from the founders of e-clothing brand - Tailors Mark - who specialise in custom-made, perfect-fit tailored suits & shirts). In early 2021, Bodd partnered with Bosch (Via the Bosch Australia's Manufacturing Solutions Group) to drive the enterprise into global markets.

Waste is a trillion-dolar problem, the current way of doing things is simply unsustainable from an environmental and economic perspective. The clothing industry is the second-worst most polluting sector in the world, next to the oil industry. Globally, the fashion industry is valued at 1.3 trillion (USD), is responsible for 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions and, for using 20% of the world water supply. Over the past 15 years, Australian clothing purchases have increased by 60%, while a staggering 85% of all garments end up in landfill. Simply put, poor-fitting clothing accounts for too much waste. The key motivation behind Bodd Technology has been to provide access to affordable, more efficient 3D fitting technology, so that custom-clothing can become a global reality. Bodd technology directly tackles the issue of miss-sizing, which can account for 30 per cent of a retailer’s cost, and results in the destroying or incineration of countless garments around the world.
