Active Thread.
The thread is the computer.
Intelligent fiber engineered for the textile process. Power buses, distributed sensors, and bare-die compute chiplets — wound on standard spools. Feeds any FDM printer. Weaves on any loom.
First products · Active Thread headwear
A wearable substrate.
Two shells. One protocol.
Active Thread woven across forehead, temples, and occipital. Sixteen channels of multi-modal sensing. A stable embedding projected into your stack — your LLM, your XR runtime, your agent. Frozen at calibration so your nervous system can build a forward model of it. The fabric is the computer. You pick the shell for the context.
Same Active Thread. Same 16 channels. Same calibration. Same SDK.
Plasticity invested in either carries to the other.
The Material
Intelligence on a spool.
A family of intelligent fibers wound on standard spools. Power, sensing, and compute — all in a thread thinner than a human hair. No special equipment. No new processes. Feeds like filament. Weaves like polyester.

Two fabrication paths
Your process. Our thread.
Path A
Traditional textile
Loom · knit · cut-and-sew
- ·Ships on standard textile cones
- ·Drop-in replacement in warp/weft positions
- ·No equipment changes at the mill
- ·Survives scouring, dyeing, and finishing
Path B
3D printer
Multi-material FDM additive
- ·Feeds as 1.75 mm filament alongside TPU
- ·Print finished smart objects directly
- ·PVA wash step for soft textile feel
- ·Bambu H2C compatible — $2K entry
Process
Spool to smart object
in four steps.
01
Load
Active Thread spools into your printer or loom alongside standard materials.
02
Make
Print or weave. The thread routes compute, sensing, and power exactly where you design it.
03
Wash
A warm-water bath dissolves the scaffold. What remains is soft, smart, wearable fabric.
04
Connect
Snap in the Edge Connector. Your textile goes live — sensing, computing, communicating.

The best time to be
a maker.
Everything you need to build intelligent textiles exists today. The printers. The materials. The thread. We're looking for integration partners, early adopters, and people who want to make things that think.
