CreateMe Technologies has unveiled two new developments designed to change how clothes are made. The company introduced MeRA™, a modular robotic assembly platform for apparel, and Pixel™, a microadhesive bonding method that replaces traditional sewing. Together, they create a faster, more precise, and more sustainable way to produce garments.
The first commercial product built on this system will debut in women’s intimates. It will be the first fully automated bonded intimates line on the market, designed for comfort, fit, and long-lasting wear. From there, CreateMe plans to expand into everyday apparel, starting with T-shirts and moving into other categories.
Nick Chope, Vice President of R&D at CreateMe, explained that the goal goes beyond automation for its own sake. “This is automation built for how clothes should be made—customized, precise, and close to the consumer,” he said.
The MeRA platform combines robotics with software-defined garment construction. According to CreateMe, it produces up to 250 garments per hour—20 times faster production speed than traditional sewing and with 2x greater precision. Its compact, modular design makes it cost-competitive with offshore manufacturing while allowing production to take place closer to end markets. By doing so, it helps brands cut inventory waste, shorten supply chains, and respond more quickly to demand.
Pixel, the company’s adhesive technology, plays a central role in this system. Instead of stitches, garments are assembled with bonded seams that are less than one millimeter wide. These seams provide stretch, comfort, and strength while also supporting recyclability since fabrics can be separated more easily than with stitched or permanent adhesive methods. The formulation can also add performance features like moisture control, thermal regulation, and lightweight layering.
Cam Myers, CEO of CreateMe, said bonded apparel represents a new standard for clothing.
We’re not just improving speed or cost. We’re setting a new way of making garments—local, sustainable, and on demand.

The company holds more than 95 patents covering apparel automation and sees its platform as a path to strengthen U.S. manufacturing. By reducing production lead times from months to days and making small-batch local production viable, CreateMe positions its technology as an answer to rising demand for nearshoring.
For brands, the approach means they can produce closer to customers without losing cost competitiveness. For consumers, it promises clothing that lasts longer, performs better, and carries less environmental impact.
