This innovative monomaterial, made from 100% recyclable polyester, promises to redefine comfort, functionality, and sustainability across various industries.<\/p><p>At its core, KNITFOAM is a technical 3D knit composed entirely of polyester, making it a fully recyclable monomaterial. Its unique structure gives it high breathability, excellent cushioning properties, and impressive durability. These characteristics make KNITFOAM an ideal choice for applications where padding, protection, and ergonomics are crucial.<\/p><p>The range of applications for KNITFOAM is remarkably broad: it extends from precise padding in medical prostheses and effective shock absorption in sportswear to the ergonomic design of vehicle interior seating. KNITFOAM also demonstrates its versatility and adaptability as a functional element in lifestyle products such as bags, shoes, and caps.<\/p><p>KNITFOAM is specifically designed to meet the demands of modern smart textiles. Its soft yet dimensionally stable structure provides an optimal basis for integrating sensors and electronics. This makes KNITFOAM predestined for developing e-textiles and wearable technologies that are not only technologically advanced but also extremely comfortable.<\/p><p>The development and production of KNITFOAM are based on Born GmbH&#8217;s over 30 years of experience as &#8220;Knitting Engineers.&#8221; The company combines state-of-the-art knitting technologies\u2014including flat and circular knitting, 3D knitting machines, laser technology, RF welding processes, and high-precision software tools\u2014to develop customized textile solutions. With KNITFOAM, Born GmbH underscores its commitment to continually pushing the boundaries of what is technically feasible in the textile industry and paving innovative paths for the future.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6818be1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"6818be1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/born-germany.de\/en\/design-development-manufacturing-technical-knit-knitfoam\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">More about KNITFOAM<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With KNITFOAM, BORN GmbH is presenting a pioneering new development in the field of technical knitted fabrics and smart textiles.
