Vizoo Partners with Material Bank on Digitization
Vizoo, the Germany-based leading technology provider for advanced digitization of materials, today announced their partnership with Material Bank, the world's largest marketplace for searching, sampling, and specifying architecture, design and construction materials to bring digital materials to the architecture and design industries.
MUNICH and BOCA RATON, Fla., Oct. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Material Bank will leverage the Vizoo xTex system as a key component of a comprehensive strategy to create digital twins of physical samples. Capable of directly outputting seamlessly tileable digital materials with a focus on textiles, these assets will be utilized directly across multiple visualization initiatives. As the leading system in the Apparel industry, Vizoo offers unparalleled texture capture and processing.
Architects and designers using Material Bank can conduct complex searches and place sample orders across hundreds of brands and hundreds of thousands of materials in seconds from a single source. Using the platform, members can search by design, color, performance, and technical attributes. Order fulfilment takes place in a 400,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art, robotics-powered logistics facility just minutes from the FedEx Express World Hub in Memphis. Designers who order samples by midnight EST receive a single box containing their full sample order the following morning—always free for design professionals and always shipped carbon neutral.
Vizoo has led the material digitization field in the fashion and apparel industry for years by providing highly accurate materials for photorealistic digital sampling, design review and 3d rendered ecommerce imagery. Partnering with Material Bank will allow Vizoo to bring the same material capture process to architectural design clients for use in architectural previsualization.
Martin Semsch, the founder and CEO of Vizoo said, "We do see a growing demand for our solutions in home fashion and architecture. Therefore, it is a pleasure for us to further expand our client base in the architectural industry by working with one of the leaders in the field of materials. This proves how physical and digital offerings go hand in hand."
Material Bank has built the world's largest physical material library to support its partner brands and the design community; as a result, manufactures and members are experiencing greater ease and efficiencies and the platform has transformed an industry. While Material Bank will continue to grow its physical library, the company is investing millions of dollars in building the world's largest digital materials library; Vizoo is an important tool in this initiative, allowing exceptional small and oversize image capture techniques on the platform.
Said Scott Riley Vice President, Virtualization of Material Bank, "The nature of the Vizoo system makes it an ideal solution to capture the immense Material Bank catalog and we're excited to explore its functionality across our many material categories. With its exceptional capture quality, effective software, and high throughput, we anticipate this system to be a significant workhorse within our comprehensive digitization initiative."
