Carlo del Mazo
The key focus of my current work is merging design and fashion with robotics, which I am very passionate about. I am a professional designer and qualified robotics engineer. I create my own software and hardware aiming to transform the fashion industry manufacturing process.
I see the future where fashion is:
- Accessible irrespective of physical abilities, mental health problems, social or racial background
- Slavery and child labour free
- No waste, green, local and enabling creativity
- A fully integrated part of circular economy
To make this real, I have created a first prototype of a robot, which in real time builds a ready to wear fashion garment using local sustainable materials. The garment is created by the robot based on a completely flexible virtual 3D design model with no human intervention or special sewing skills required .

- What are your aspirations and plans for the future?: My vision and the business idea I am pursuing is a robotics-enabled production of fashion garments.
- What types of projects are you interested in working on through Future Fashion Factory?: In the first instance, I’d like to work on projects aiming at transforming the fashion industry in the way I described above and realise the project I am working on at the moment. I also very much look forward to becoming a part of the Future Fashion Factory community, share ideas, collaborate and potentially /hopefully work on other projects which merge design and technology/robotics to innovate.
