Are these knitting machines designed for hobbyist knitting or production?YouTube

Kniterate brings the best of both worlds by providing a compact version which a hobbyist can have at home or share at a local makerspace, but also the capabilities of an industrial knitting machine to scale up your production.

How does Kniterate compare to industrial knitting machines?
23
Kniterate has many of the features of an industrial knitting machine, the most important being automated knitting and transfer of stitches. This allows it to do automatic shaping (it can increase or decrease stitches, cast-on, bind-off, etc.). Key differentiators are its size and price, which allow it to be in many more workshops.

Is not knitting with an industrial knitting machine faster and cheaper?Mental Floss
26
If you are a business with an industrial knitting machine for production it will always come in handy to have a smaller knitting machine for prototyping. If you don't, and you struggle dealing with long lead times and shipping expenses, Kniterate can really help you speed up your work and reduce your costs.Mashable

In what ways are your knitting machines different from domestic electronic knitting machines?Stuff
29
You will be able to design in your browser and it will do shaping automatically for you. Kniterate is a hybrid between industrial and domestic knitting machines. For a price and size comparable to an advanced domestic knitting machine but with most of the functionalities of an industrial one. You can control all the needles in the machine to knit and transfer stitches and create very intricate patterns, with a great range of types of stitches and shapes, all automated.The Verge

We believe Kniterate is especially useful if you run your own business, do research or provide a service to your community, because there are clear ways to monetize the purchase. Kniterate is a high ticket purchase, so we ask you to read our Kickstarter campaign page carefully to evaluate the risks and challenges associated with our product. L'Atelier de Simon (Français)
