"The Future of Fashion is Bonded"
AI robotics company that makes apparel with robots and digital adhesives instead of thread, enabling on-demand production.
CreateMe Technologies, Inc. is an AI robotics company headquartered in Newark, California that reimagines apparel manufacturing by making clothes with robots and replacing thread with digitally applied adhesives. Its flagship MeRA (Modular engineering, Robotic Assembly) platform is described as the world's first autonomous tailoring platform, combining robotic hardware, software, and Physical AI across a five-step process of single-ply digital patterning, mechanically-enabled joinery, fabric lamination, two-ply patterning, and garment-specific finishing modules. The platform pairs 2D and 3D production cells with stated output of up to one million units per year per configuration. CreateMe's Pixel digital microadhesive bonds fabric in place of thread and bonded tape, while its Thermo(re)set reversible adhesive enables end-of-life garment disassembly for textile circularity. The company holds an industry-leading IP portfolio, citing 95 patents on the MeRA platform, and reports more than 200 prototypes and over 1,000 process tests, building what it calls the first commercial AI data set for soft material handling. CreateMe targets brands, manufacturers, and print-on-demand customers seeking on-shore, on-demand production that reduces inventory waste and shortens supply chains, and is extending its bonding technology beyond apparel.
The company has been covered by WWD, Business of Fashion, Sourcing Journal, and The Robot Report.

Interview with CreateMe CEO Campbell Myers: From stitching to bonding – physical AI could transform the way clothes are made
Apparel manufacturing continues to be one of the most labor-intensive sectors globally, despite advancements in automation in other industries such as automotive and electronics. The difficulty in automating textile production arises from the unique properties of fabric, which can stretch, wrinkle, and shift unpredictably. This complexity has hindered the development of effective robotic solutions for handling soft materials, leaving the apparel industry largely reliant on human labor. As manufacturers seek to improve efficiency and reduce costs, the challenge of integrating automation into textile production remains a significant hurdle.
