PROJECT INFORMATION

DESCRIPTION

FASHION-ABLE project aims at providing the European innovative and customization-concerned SMEs with the technological means that will enable the agile and eco-efficient production of personalised products addressing the complex individualised needs of growing market niches out of the scope of mass-produced goods in terms of health and performance. FASHION-ABLE vision is to provide the innovative European SMEs concerned in customisation with the technological means that will enable the conception, co-design and the sustainable manufacture of fully personalised products.

Impact

The harmonized combination of technologies will have a direct impact on health, comfort, safety and quality of life of the targeted populations: diabetics developing diabetic feet; physically disabled people requiring a wheelchair; and sufferers from acute periods of musculoskeletal disorders which prevalence increases with age and weight. Furthermore, the cross-sectoral approach will allow extending and up-scaling functional customisation with little effort to future unexpected functionalities and to be transferred to other products and high demanding markets.
