Sewbo is an industrial sewing robot invented by Sewbo, Inc., a company based in Seattle, Washington.
History
The company Sewbo, Inc was founded by Jonathan Zornow in 2015.[1][2] The robot capable of handling fabric components throughout the entire garment production process. The operation relies on a water-soluble, non-toxic polymer called polyvinyl alcohol, which stiffens the fabric to facilitate manipulation during sewing. While Sewbo is currently optimized for producing T-shirts. It can sew a T-shirt from start to the end. The process involves cutting fabric panels, stiffening them with a polymer solution, and feeding them into a sewing machine using a robotic arm equipped with suction cups.[3]
