The work of the sub-committees is pivotal to the ongoing collaborative success of the 3DRC. They are clearly defined into these three distinct groups: Innovation, Education and Technology.
Innovation
Committee Chair – Michelle Greenhouse, Senior 3D Artist, Target
Email – innovation.lead@3drc.pi.tv
Project Manager – Esteban Garza, Manager, Consumer Practice, Kalypso: A Rockwell Automation Business
Mission Statement:
To create interoperability of digital fabrics for 3D software solutions. To validate and recommend a method to brands, retailers, suppliers/mills and labs on how to measure fabric physics once and use it in any 3D software. Our aim is to shift the digitization process to the suppliers, closer to the source of production. This will create consistency and efficiency in the way fabrics are tested for physics and ultimately build confidence and adoption in 3D.
Committee Work – Digital Fabric Interoperability Workstream:
- Develop Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for Measuring Digital Fabric Physics based fabric weight, thickness, bend, elongation and shear to provide data inputs needed across 3D design solutions.
- Validate SOPs with fabric mills and brands that have their own testing labs.
- Develop and launch an online conversion tool based on the SOP
- Build confidence in 3D fabric physics by analyzing and comparing digital and physical fabrics generating discussions around validation, end use, digital tolerance and AI Physics.

Mission Statement –
To establish a harmonized industry perspective on the demonstrable skills required for professionals who are executing 3D Design & Development work and to support efforts by learners, trainers and educators to upskill the RFA industry for a digital future.
Committee Work:
Workstream 1 – 3D Skills Matrix:
Our goal is to establish a common, coalition-endorsed framework for describing the roles & demonstrable skills required among digital product creation professionals in the apparel & footwear industries.
Workstream 2 – 3D Apparel & Footwear Leadership & Upskilling:
Our objective is to define the skills and competencies required to lead DPC initiatives and to give leaders the tools they need to successfully implement and grow their teams.
Workstream 3 – Technology Vendor Relationship Workstream:
Our aim is to catalogue resources for technology partners and educators to ensure the latter have access to educational licenses, can participate in ‘train-the-trainer’ sessions and are able to do so at a cost that is reasonable to both parties.
