Designer's voice: 3D Design is revolutionizing Halti’s product develop

When a piece of clothing appears on store shelves, its journey has begun years earlier. At Halti’s headquarters in Finland, the product development team has taken design to a new level with the help of 3D technology. This innovation enables a faster and more efficient design process without the need for multiple physical prototypes. Halti’s apparel designer, Miisa Lehmonen, has played a key role in driving this change forward.

3D Technology accelerates innovation

"3D is a big part of our work. Right at the beginning of the design process, we can test different patterns and assess the fit of garments on a virtual model. We see in real time how the clothing looks in different materials or colors. This speeds up decision-making and reduces the need for multiple physical prototypes," Miisa explains.

At Halti, there is a continuous investment in new technologies that make design more precise and efficient. Digital tools allow for better decision-making from the early stages of development, helping to create even more functional products.

Nature and an active lifestyle as inspiration

Halti’s garments are born from hands-on experience. An active lifestyle provides valuable insight into what makes great training or outdoor wear. For Miisa, sports and outdoor activities are not just passions but an essential part of her identity. She regularly goes to the gym, practices Pilates, runs and takes long walks. Exercise is her way of recovering and challenging herself further.

"Pushing my limits, whether at the gym or at work, is important to me. Progress doesn’t happen overnight, but through systematic effort, you move forward."

Technology at the core of product development

At Halti, product development is guided by functionality, innovation and continuous improvement. Thanks to 3D technology, product development is more efficient and flexible than ever before. The use of new materials and the courage to experiment with innovative solutions are among Halti’s strengths.

"It’s easy to propose new ideas here and develop even better products together with the team," Miisa summarizes.
