Turning your digitally and technically developed garment into a physical sample.
Turning your digitally and technically developed garment into a physical sample.
Physical sampling is the stage where a garment becomes a real, wearable product. It gives you the opportunity to evaluate the fabric, construction, proportions and fit before moving towards production.

A physical sample is a prototype garment made before bulk production. It evaluates fit, proportions, construction, fabric behaviour, finishing, trims, overall appearance and wearability giving the team time to identify and correct issues before production.
( THE SAMPLING PROCESS )
First sample → fit evaluation → corrections → revised sample.
First sample → fit evaluation → corrections → revised sample.
Each sample should have a clear purpose: validating the fit, construction, materials or another essential aspect of the product. Depending on the garment, more than one sample round may be required.
( GUIDED SAMPLING )
Make every physical sample more purposeful.
FORM Studio works with a fixed sampling partner and guides the process from the development side, coordinating pattern preparation, sample instructions, construction details, measurements, fit requirements, feedback and corrections. 3D and physical sampling work together to validate both the idea and the garment you can actually wear.
