The maker behind Boldbobbin

Right now, Boldbobbin is driven by a single founder with a goal to make machine embroidery design simple, modern, and accessible.

Research behind the tool

Turning a picture into something a machine can make is a hard problem. It requires semantic understanding and the creation of geometry that can be converted to a stitch pattern. Some of our research at ETH Zurich has been dedicated to this specific problem.

None of this is inside Boldbobbin yet. It is the direction the software is heading, and it will make its way in progressively.

Spin-off ETH Zürich

Boldbobbin GmbH is formally recognised by ETH Zurich as one of its spin-off companies.

Not a solo effort

Boldbobbin wouldn't exist without the organisations that have backed it along the way, with funding, mentorship, and a place to build.
